The @FawcettSociety 's new code of conduct isquite pointed (and authoritarian)
Section 1 "women and girls in all their diversity" is code for gender id
Section IV suggests @ ing a Trustee could be grounds for expulsion
OLD--> --> NEW
Members have not been invited to vote on the new code of conduct which means that members must not disagree with the replacement of sex by gender.
And public debate will not be tolerated.
Obviously harassment is harassment, but being on Twitter is an invitation to be @'ed into conversations by strangers -- and being a Trustee or senior manager of an NGO seeking to influence policy is being a public figure.
If I as a Fawcett Member respond publicly on Twitter to a Fawcett Trustee in her work-life writing about me that is seen as an attack, and presumably grounds for expulsion
The careerocrats running "civil society" orgs are driving gender self ID by the back door, resisting accountability & transparency through punitive social media policies.
And campaigning for govt & media platforms to protect us all from upsetting language "for our own good."

As the foreword notes Robin Moira White has an obvious personal interest in laws and rules that would make it difficult for women to say no sharing single sex spaces with males
Nevertheless claim to have set out the law as it currently is, and not just wishful thinking....
From the Easy Reading version of the Welsh LGBTQ+ Action Plan consultation
- it is so unsafe to tell people they cannot trust their own eyes about who is a man and who is a woman.
Queer means..... ? (I still don't know)
And as for the plus...?
Here is the not easy reading version - it still doesn't make clear why people "wanting to reject specific labels" should need to be the business of the state.
