Too much incloosion

Well you can’t do both. Pick one, or pick the other; you can’t pick both, just as you can’t be both here and gone, both alive and dead, both a rabbit and a snake.

It’s trans inclusion or women only. Not both.

(But what about women who claim to be men? If they claim to be men then they don’t belong in a women’s college. Quislings.)

Cambridge University’s oldest women-only college is allowing trans women to enrol.

Newnham College opened in 1871 and first allowed trans women students to join in 2017. In the wake of the Supreme Court ruling, it has decided to continue with its pre-existing policy.

Campaigners have pledged to report the college to the Charity Commission over a possible breach of the law for this decision.

Postgraduate student Maeve Halligan, who co-founded a single-sex feminist group, the Society of Women, at the university, told the Mail on Sunday that the decision proved the college is no longer “an all-female college”.

A letter to students from principal Alison Rose reportedly claims the trans policy of the college is “cleared by the college’s lawyers”.

“We are a women-only college, under the provisions of Schedule 12 of the Equality Act 2010 and our Charter and Statutes,” the college writes in its gender policy on students, published last month. “We are open to all female applicants.”

Men are not female.
