If I had known that the W.I. was involved, my guesses would have been even more mindboggled.
A team of a hundred or so women, herding all of the beetles from one farmer's field of crops to another — wellies on, a small glass jar and a net in one hand, slice of cake in the other.

These institutions are acting out of fear — fear of litigation, fear of lobby groups, fear of being dragged into a financially ruinous court case they cannot possibly afford to win.
Who funds many of these legal threats? Well let’s just say a fund has been set up by an author to expelliarmus trans people, and to support cases against trans inclusion

@katemorley What do you think of the womens institute being forced to disallow trans members from joining? Do you think they had to do this?
“Incredibly sadly, we will have to restrict our membership on the basis of biological sex from April next year,” Green said. “But the message we really want to get across is that it remains our firm belief that transgender women are women, and that doesn’t change.”

Women's Institute to ban transgender women after U.K. Supreme Court ruling
https://fed.brid.gy/r/https://www.advocate.com/world/womens-institute-united-kingdom-transgender
The U.K. supreme court's bullshit anti-trans ruling earlier this year already shows far reaching consequences. The Women's Institute and Girl Guides will stop accepting trans women and girls, and will even force out members who have been in the organization for decades
“It’s cruel and a failure of this government to protect human rights, including freedom of association.”
The UK's Women's Insitute is 110 years old, it's been trans inclusive for 50 years.
Now they're gonna kick out trans women, and bring in bigotry.
JK Rowling's millions are having their desired affect of kicking trans people out of public life.
