At last some common sense. As many have said the clue is in the name "Women's Institute". All other women's only spaces need to be protected too.

The inclusion of men is the reason I am not a member

Women’s institute should be for women only. Not men who pretend to be women. Sex matters

I was a member but would not join now that men pretending to be women are allowed to join.

We need to stop biological men from accessing women's only spaces and groups

This is an incredibly important principle & such an important issue - the clue's in the name, ie 'Women's' Institute!

"Woman" is not an idea in a man's head.

I am signing although I disagree with current trans women (ie men) remaining members.

Male fetishists do not belong in female space. I do not consent to being part of your sexual cosplay, and I do not consent for males to use women's language. Stay out.

Sex is immutable, a man cannot become a woman. Keep women’s organisations for women only.

Sex must precede gender in all womens institutions and spaces.

I would have joined this organisation but will never do so as long as trans identifying males are allowed in, whether pre- or post-surgery. They're either men or men with their penises chopped off, and don't belong in a WOMEN's institution.

I sign this gladly My support is for WI to reject gender identity ideology and revoke membership of men of who have joined since 2015 or earlier and remove the CEO who is not representing women or the views of women Gender is an oppressive concept AGPs and transgender men are not women You cannot fight for women if the definition of membership is not sex based I was horrified by the front cover image of a transgender man at WI Draw a line please Not a member precisely bec of the 2015 policy

The WI is one of the few groups that is exclusively for women, and it should remain so.

Women should only mean biological women. Men will never be women no matter how many hormones they take, what bits they lop off or any amount of makeup or fishnet stockings. Men’s invasion of women’s single-sex spaces needs to stop. Well done WI declaration for standing up to this colonisation by men
