The thing about gritting your teeth and going along with fascist demands is there is no end to those demands. Famously so. Fascism is bottomless, it is never satisfied, there is never a lack of an enemy to be punished, destroyed.

To be clear, WI and GG trustees will have been told they faced personal liability including bankruptcy for breaching fiduciary duty by involving their organizations in legal proceedings they might well lose.

They should be publicly fucking angry and uncivilised about the people responsible.

This part is *infuriating*. This cis woman heard an 80 year old trans woman say, 'This is the only place I've been respected as a woman IN MY LIFE.'

And did not immediately think, 'I will fight every inch like a dying badger to keep her in my organization.'

Absolutely pathetic.

This is not required by the UK Supreme Court decision. They are a private organization with free association rights. This is purely cowardice by their leadership wanting to avoid lawfare backed by endless money from JK Rowling.

the guides have made it abundantly clear that they do not want to have to do this, won't be excluding trans women from volunteering, etc but that they simply cannot defend themselves in a legal challenge against unlimited resources
