I am a member of the Sinkutview WI here in Vanderhoof BC , Canada. Men have zero business in being a part of WI.

A democratic discussion is always important. No major decision should ever be made behind closed doors. Transparency is key to every membership organisation.

National conference has just happened. Feds often book rooms for delegates on the basis of 2 sharing a room. This is not a reasonable approach if trans women are permitted as members .

Accepting one man affects everyone in the group. Please do some research regarding the mysogeny of the trans movement, and how most men who become trans after puberty, are doing it for some sexual thrill. Utterly disgusting.

I deeply value female only spaces. The addition of even one male changes the dynamic completely and trans identified men retain male pattern behaviour

I want to join a WOMAN-centred institution that provides female companionship and supports WOMEN. Not a validation group for men in frocks with special feelings. Why can't they form their own? Oh wait...

For my mother, who benefitted so much from female friendship in the WI.

A naive, short sighted, uninformed & ill researched policy foisted on the WI by gender ideologues who fail to safeguard the very women they are meant to serve & represent. Virtue signalling at its worse.

I am totally opposed to trans women being allowed to become members of the WI. The mission statement clearly states that the WI is a safe place for women. This policy also goes against the resolution regarding violence against women

When a man joins a women’s group the whole atmosphere changes, and every woman has to police her own speech.

I am sick and tired of this infiltration of girl's and women's spaces and groups by biological males. These groups were set up by women, FOR women. Not anyone else. With respect, set up your own groups. Every single area of women's lives is being disrupted, and our hard-won safe spaces are no longer safe.

I’ve seen this coming and am deeply concerned that a women’s organisation thinks it’s ok to accept biological makes into our organisation; essentially especially if they do appropriate research

I'm terrified in signing this petition but I just have to stand up for real women. Don't let men - especially delusional men - take away all that our mothers, grandmothers, aunties etc fought for; WOMEN.

The WI is for WOMEN not narcissistic men in dresses.

Trans women are not female & therefore not women.

Goes against the campaign of no more violence against women

This is a very important issue and biological sex remains no matter what medical procedures are undertaken.
