Biology matters, women's spaces for biological women only

I was due to join friends at our local WI in Waterlooville but, because a man may legitimately join, I won’t be until this is sorted. Woman= adult human female (not a dress and makeup)

Allowing men entry means I will not join.

If a long standing organisation, specifically created and dedicated to the furtherance of opportunity for women, cannot hold to its core founding principle, what IS it for? Humans cannot change sex. Men are not women. 'Woman' is not an identity for men to opt in to.

Males have no place in the WI which is intended for women. Over 90% of men self identifying as women have fully intact male bodies and are not transitioning.

Just as I want to join WI they let men join. I couldn't join in the 90s because I was an unmarried mother. Now I'm married ans eligible to join I can't because now they let men in. Men who are pretending to be women because they have a sexual fetish for pretending to be women.

Womens groups should have the right to say no to biological men young their community. The women's institute is a long standing group for women.

Adult males are men, all of them.

Keep the WI single (biological) sex. Biological women only.

Keep the WI exclusively for the support and community of Adult Human Females (Women)

You must change this. Otherwise you cannot advocate for women.

Men aren't ever women! Women's institute isn't for men, regardless of how they identify! Under the EA2010 you can legally discriminate & leave the WI single sex! Gender identity doesn't trump reality.

Women need to stop being hand-maidens to this bizarre ideology.

A man is a man. A woman is a woman. A man in a frock is a man in a frock.

I was planning on joining the WI in my retirement, but can’t join an institution that denies biology and allows men to declare themselves women. If you can’t accurately define what a woman is, you can’t advocate for women.
