      Perhaps one of the reasons the UK development sector isn't keen to talk about the difference between sex & 'gender identity' (https://medium.com/@MForstater/international-development-lets-talk-about-sex-eb9de927c787 …) is because the Sec. of State for Development does not want to (https://medium.com/@MForstater/85-questions-outside-the-minister-for-womens-office-32cf4c084b05 …) and foundations💰also pushes the agenda

      It raises all sorts of uncomfortable Qs about commitment to participation and empowerment. As one of the unanswered questions to the Minister for Women & Equalities put it "Why is a quasi- religious belief (genderism) being imposed from above?

      Orgs are collections of people. They add value if they enable learning, analytical quality control and give people the courage to speak truth to power. Otherwise they can become lumbering beasts that end up doing the opposite through a focus on 'keeping the show on the road'.

      Funding is always a driver, but its not just a "gotcha" ("who funds you??"). If funders are funding orgs to do research or practical experiments in social change they should *want* organisations to be places that enable thought (and this is the biggest challenge for funders)

      Transparency helps with all three: learning, analytical quality control, speaking truth to power. But procedural transparency & data dumps #opendata are no good if there are stronger incentives on people to 🙈🙉🙊

          Penny Mordaunt's lack of answers to Mumsnet's (grassroots) questions were in plain sight. But if collating them and putting them on a blogpost, or RTing that post can mean you put your employability at risk, then people look the other way. Transparency but no accountability...

          I ❤️ Q 84. "Would u say, as a feminist, that you cannot help but be impressed by how ordinary women have organised & driven this conversation into the mainstream, despite threats & abuse, when all our elected representatives refused to listen, or were too scared to touch it?"💪

          Orgs and funders should beware of 🙈🙉🙊 and should look out for 💪 . Thats what transparency, participation and accountability, inclusion, empowerment, rigour and all the other great words in your mission statement are all about.
