    Kellie-Jay Keen, founder of feminist group Party Of Women, said: “Banning women and girls over the age of 12 from a public charity event is plainly unlawful… and reinforces regressive sexist attitudes towards women’s place in public life.

    On one hand, yes. On the other hand, I kind of wouldn’t be surprised if the Party of Women does things that exclude men.

    Ah.

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Party_of_Women

    The Party of Women (POW) is a gender-critical[3][4] and anti-transgender[5] single-issue political party in the United Kingdom, which opposes what it refers to as “trans ideology”.[6][7][8] It was founded in 2023 by Kellie-Jay Keen-Minshull (also known as Posie Parker) and registered in February 2024.[9]

    Is it just a Wikipedia editor beating up on them?

    checks website

    No they appear to be pretty explicitly upset with trans stuff.

    Kellie-Jay Keen founded Party Of Women to make sure that people can safely say

    No woman has a penis

    No man has a vagina

    There is no such thing as “non-binary”

    And “transitioning” children is abuse

    • Repeal the Gender Recognition Act (GRA)

    The Gender Recognition Act 2004 enables individuals to legally change the sex marker on their birth certificate.

    • Repeal the Equality Act 2010
    • Withdraw from the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR)

    The ECHR has become a tool for imposing ideological interpretations of “rights” that conflict with national sovereignty and women’s protections.

    We will:

    Withdraw the UK from the ECHR.

    End the jurisdiction of the European Court of Human Rights over UK law.

    Yeah, I dunno how sympathetic I am to that group either.

      “Yes, that seems discriminatory, but what would this other group defined by bigotry say?”

      Not basing bashing on you, this was the best plot twist since the 6th sense
