From the Mail:

The King’s flagship youth charity decided to cancel a fitness course for disadvantaged girls instead of preventing biological males from attending.

The King’s Trust was due to run a ‘Get started with Boxing and Fitness for Women’ course for girls aged 16 to 25 that was open to ‘female identifying/presenting’ people.

A concerned parent contacted King Charles’ charity to raise safeguarding concerns, including that this could have allowed a 25-year-old biological male to punch teenage girls.

But instead of limiting the course to biological women only, as the parent had requested, the King’s Trust instead decided to ‘withdraw it as an offer to young people’.

If trans women can’t be included, then let’s just forget the whole thing. Spiteful.

Helen Joyce, director of advocacy at Sex Matters, said it ‘shouldn’t have taken a Supreme Court judgment’ to tell the King’s Trust that it should not allow biological males ‘to punch women for sport’….

Ms Joyce added: ‘It’s outrageous that a registered charity that aims to support the physical and moral development of young people and enable them to “become responsible members of society” would rather remove opportunities for young women to keep fit than tell men who identify as women that their identity doesn’t give them the right to punch women.’
