Another charity, another cancellation for gender-critical – sex realist – views. From the Telegraph:
A choir has been dropped from the London Marathon over a member’s gender-critical views.
The Singing Striders are frequently booked to stand on the sidelines and raise the spirits of runners, and the group had been invited to support the upcoming marathon by Scope, a leading disability charity.
However, the amateur ensemble was dropped because a single member had been critical of gender ideology.
This is the view that gender is defined by self-identification, rather than biological sex, meaning that those born male can become women.
Janet Murray, the choir founder, was informed that her opposition to this worldview went against Scope’s “commitment to diversity and inclusion”.
Charity bosses also told her “we are concerned about your views because we don’t agree with your views”.
As a writer and journalist, Murray has publicly expressed concerns about the inclusion of biological males in women’s sports and organisations such as Girlguiding.
It is understood that the decision to cancel the choir, which was to perform for no fee, came after Scope received two anonymous complaints about these opinions.
How pathetic.
