It is important for women to have their own spaces.

I left my local WI when a man joined. It altered the dynamics of the group and will destroy it if this policy is allowed to continue.

As a trans widow I am not fooled by men claiming to be women and believe females have the right to female only spaces.

Men are not women. Humans cannot change sex. Only holders of a Gender Recognition Certificate are protected under EQA2010. A trans identified man who chooses to self id as a woman is actually just a man in dress. His transvestism does not change his sex. Well done for campaigning to eradicate this bad policy which taints the Woman’s Institute’s basic tenets. Good luck.

I made enquiries about joining my local WI but have put this on hold until I know whether it is to remain an organisation for women.

Trans-women are Trans-women. Not Women. The madness has to stop.

The Women’s Institute has supported, educated and campaigned on behalf of women for over 100 years. Including trans identifying men within that membership without consulting your members is high handed and unconstitutional.

Women's Institutes are essentially meaningless if MEN can claim to be women & subsequently take places intended for WOMEN.

If you want to change the fundamental aspect of an institution then at least have a debate with members to see if that is what they want.

There are already numerous organisations dedicated to identities whereas those who should be dedicated to females are dwindling daily. Sex is a protected characteristic and it matters enough to have organisations who focus solely on that. Women matter.

So the WI have inadvertently changed their public image from Jam and Jerusalem to "It's Ma'am and Jerusalem ". No thank you.

It's the Women's Institute..adult human female. I will not be rejoining until that title is fully enforced. Single sex spaces please.
