What does the ‘Manifesto for Women and Girls’ say about the question over the definition of woman, and single sex services? .....A question that features in the main party manifestos and is currently controversial and politically very live. ....? Nothing.

There is a session on "Courageous Conversations: Having inclusion conversations that matter in the workplace... that will begin to identify the behaviours that get in the way of courageous conversations." Led by an organisation that calls us cis-gendered. <hollow laugh>

I don't think it is going to address what happened to @Docstockk @8RosarioSanchez @rachelara @selina_todd, & all the women who have told me they are scared to speak up publicly. Doxxing, bullying, vexatious complaints, disciplinaries. Those behaviours?.... No i didn't think so.

I know not all these orgs agree w self ID & allowing males into womens services. And there are internal differences. but if you listen publicly it sounds like there is no issue at all. Where are the reports on the issues & Qs? Where are the roundtables & conference panels?

Scrappy little outfits like @fairplaywomen @AllianceLGB @Womans_Place_UK @ForwomenScot get hundreds of likes and RTs. Well-funded women's organisations get a handful. There is something going on here! You are losing your base

Keeping up a united front of "nothing to see here" is not working. There is something to see here. There is something to talk about. And women who do are punished for it. The role of civil society organisations in to create the space. Hold the fearless conversations.
