[UK News] ‘Carnage of concern and upset’: Women’s Institute groups close after transgender ban - Members warn NFWI decision has opened up toxic culture that deters younger women from joining
Good on those chapters who are leaving in response. Makes me feel at least a little bit hopeful to see this kind of solidarity coming out of Terf Island and hopeful they're able to form a new and better org.

The local WI here is basically dead over this. My MiL used to go religiously, and they were embedded into loads of community projects too.
This transphobic BS killed that immediately; anyone who didnt cancel outright cancelled their renewals. Its sad how much community was evaporated by evil overnight. Fuck WI.

So-called "(radical) feminists" or "women's advocates" are destroying a 180,000-member women's organization. And I assume much more than that. Nice work ladies.

Oh no. The consequences of my actions. Time to cry about it on the internet.
Not in this article, that seems pretty neutral. But you know it's happening.
