We are updating our website and petition, as well as making our logo slightly prettier (nothing says woman like flowers). Please sign our new petition calling for all men to be excluded from the @WomensInstitute and for them to follow the law.

"We learn something about being a woman through the eyes of transgender women." Thanks Melissa, what do members need to learn about being a woman? We ARE women, we don't need to learn how to be one. @WomensInstitute @guardian @guardiannews

Just found the latest @WomensInstitute handbook, the UK's largest "woman only" organisation has removed sex as a protected characteristic from its handbook. The previous one lied and said it relied on the single sex exemptions in the Equality Act. You can't make this up! 1/2

Hello to all our lovely new followers and anyone who want to troll us too. We're just trying to restore the word woman to the Women's Institute - who'd have thought something so simple could be so convoluted.

Just a reminder potential @WomensInstitute trustee Alessandra Sherman wants "young people" (children) call the helpline of the charity he is secretary of for information regarding sterilisation and mutilation. He has no place in the WI. @StandingforXX @ThePosieParker

1979 @NFWIWales & @WomensInstitute had a mandate to campaign for single sex hospital wards. 2023 they say definition of a woman is "not relevant" to women's rights. We believe otherwise. Thanks @WomensRightsNet for this research #StopHospitalRapes dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1…

The @WomensInstitute now requires members to "live as women" (EDI policy April 2023). In order to prevent members from being excluded help us to compile a guide on how to woman. #LiveAsaWoman

This has just been posted on the WI Facebook page. Three weeks and this, exposing all trustees to the possibility of legal action. @legalfeminist @akuareindorf @SexMattersOrg @QcWynter @MailOnline @Telegraph

Replying to @WomensIns_Dec
3/3 The @WomensInstitute also needs to review its member handbook, WI advisor training and stop promoting transgender ideology. We don't care if the staff don't like it, they work for the members not to change a beloved organisation for their own nefarious aims.
