Girlguiding UK say trans kid blanket exclusion was not "due" to 'safeguarding concerns'. The Trans Exile Network last week raised thr concern, not that this was "due to safeguarding concerns" but rather that it is being pursued *without proper regard to such concerns* for all affected by the ban.

TEN sends open letter to Women's Institute over its new Gender Critical Ideology. It mentions Peggie v Fife (eg the findings that Dr Upton was the one harassed, it was correct not to exclude her, that a trans woman poses no more threat to a cis woman than a cis woman does). Attached.

In a world where the extreme Gender Critical Ideological Movement has captured the EHRC, & has a voice in Government is it any wonder that Boys dont see women's rights as important? Obviously, if you have a religion which insists on segregaton you create lower & upper castes. Duh.

Online#SomeoneIKnew Campaign — Online Launch Call
We're sick of the weaponisation of gender-based and sexual violence — our real stories show that the real threat begins at home.
That's why we are starting a new social media campaign: to platform women's voices and to show that the real threat is not migrants, refugees or trans people.
Join us on Saturday September 27 at 8pm for our online launch meeting.
Details TBC — we are currently confirming speakers and the event schedule but expect plenty of participation opportunities, as we want to hear from you.
Although we welcome audience participation, if you would prefer to simply attend and listen in, this is also completely okay. This will be a safe, inclusive space.
Tickets are free but limited so grab yours today!
