King’s Trust cancels girls’ boxing course to avoid banning boys

how depressing…

I saw this but it’s paywalled

so googled and found this:

Are there any elements of the King’s Trust which are exclusively for men and boys? If so, have these been allowed to continue?

I had a quick look at their website and there doesn't appear to be.

If there were then it appears that they've removed those as well as the women only events.

It seems ironic that in a time of increasing violence against women and girls, they would remove training for girls’ self defence.

Absolutely appalling (but not unsurprising). @Scotthistle. We have to expose this denial of opportunities to young girls; it’s scandalous. Sam Merriman at the Mail on Sunday would very much like to speak to you and can guarantee complete anonymity [email protected]

Wrangling over the EHRC CoP is a complete red herring if we are talking about boxing, or any other contact sport, it's a safety issue. And safety alone.
If the WI and Girlguides can come to the conclusion that women/girl means female, ot shouldn't be difficult for the King's Trust to make the same decision for female-only activities. If only the adults in the room would grow a backbone.

Good discussion of this story on Talk today. I like the idea of writing to the King. I bet he has no idea what’s going on in his name. https://x.com/womensrightsnet/status/2034681871494185098?s=61&t=HeTVV02FVbA_mwnXH0ymWg

WTAF thats wild.

I could almost forgive them pulling any type of boxing due to the dementia risks, thinking the male / female thing might just be a part of the picture.
But to pull ALL female things is ridiculous.

I wonder if he could start identifying as the Queen instead.

FFS.
I'm endlessly appalled by how much, mostly female, effort and money has to go into dealing with idiocy like this.

Bloody entitled men. They need to get a grip on reality and grow TF up.

Camilla is interested in vawag. She might be worth a letter too if you are so inclined.

They'll be in the shit if the Daily Mail gets wind of this and runs it as a story. Can you imagine the headlines? They'll gleefully link the King to this, hands-off or not.

Now the Daily Mail enjoy a wee nosy on MN that I know.
A few years back they lifted a thread of mine, twisted it around and printed it. I really wasn't impressed!
However I'd be happy for them to give the King's Trust a wee bashing.

The Mail have now covered it, I saw it on Twitter.

I might even forgive them for calling me an 'anxious mother'!

Have there been any updates on this?

Loud and clear message from the patriarchy: better all girls miss out completely than have to say “no” to even one boy. Very very depressing.
