The WI were talking about running groups that included men alongside women's groups. The groups that don't like having to exclude men could become one of those.
I find this bit hard to believe. I think it's unlikely that women are more reluctant to sit next to a woman who identifies as a man (why would she want to go to the WI if she identified as a man anyway?) than next to an actual man, even if he had a dress on.

Of course there's no mention of the women who might have left or who self-excluded because the WI decided to indulge the special subset of men.
Telling women they must include men in everything is the epitome of male control.
