Just seen this posted on FB. Good, I’m glad they’re getting a roasting.

Will post below as can’t do clicky links.

Stonewall describes homosexuality as a 'medical' condition - isn't that line actually where they say that 'homosexual' is an outdated term as it sounds too medical, so please use 'gay'?

(Paraphrasing, but I think that's roughly what I remember it saying)

JillyArmeeen · 06/11/2018 17:52

The only support is from joss prior repeating the same line again and again, something about hate. And that bigots are the minority, even though clearly from that thread, what joss thinks are bigots are actually the large majority.
And two or three others saying they have blocked a load of people.
Is it because they block so many that they don't realise that its them that are the minority..
Will stonewall listen? Or do they just block too?

Do you know in the Stonewall teaching resources at my son's school, Stonewall describes homosexuality as a 'medical' condition. WTF?

Deliriumoftheendless · 06/11/2018 17:47

If Stonewall want to be a Trans advocacy group all well and good, but if they can’t represent lesbians, gays and bisexuals they need to be clear about who they are supporting.

I meant the lesbian and gay community should just be LGB, Scarlett.

Stonewall should be disbanded altogether, and be sued.

This small handful of radfems...... Thousands and thousands of them.

TheCraicDealer · 06/11/2018 17:36

I noticed that resistance. It wasn't particularly witty the first time never mind the second or third 

ScarletBegonias · 06/11/2018 17:32

They need to drop the T and just be LGB.

Actually, I suspect it's the other way round, given that they no longer appear to have any interest in representing LGB people.

ResistanceIsNecessary · 06/11/2018 17:29

Nice to see that Joss has mastered copy and paste.

ThePrincipal · 06/11/2018 17:28

Sexuality is a fundamentally different thing to trans gender. In fact they are incompatible, seems logical and obvious, as gender ideology erases sex.

ThePrincipal · 06/11/2018 17:25

THey need to drop the T and just be LGB.

daughterofanarchy · 06/11/2018 17:22

Just had a look at the the twitter replies - it’s so sad for lesbians and gays feeling that an organisation that used to represent them no longer does. I hope they can find support elsewhere if they need help.

How do you know I'm not a TRA
Do not assume. And has Ruth Hunt ever said how they identify.
Very presumptuous

Babdoc · 06/11/2018 16:05

That was hugely encouraging! So pleased to see that Stonewall’s original client base are calling them out on their support of homophobic trans activists.
Poor old Stonewall - how could they possibly have guessed that ordering lesbians to “suck lady dick”, and pushing gay teens down a trans pathway of hormone blockers, sterility and surgery would be so unpopular?!

LurkingLizzy · 06/11/2018 15:58

Has anyone ever seen Ruth Hunt and Adrian Harrop together?
Suspicious

I thought only TRAs insulted women according to the propaganda on here?

Vixxxy · 06/11/2018 15:55

I can see one, a TRA thanking people for posting so that they can block them. Thats it.

Needmoresleep · 06/11/2018 15:54

Except for poor old Joss Prior who thinks the only way to argue is to attack. Is there no one who will call her brave and stunning?

UpstartCrow · 06/11/2018 15:52

You know when people are job hunting and they are warned to keep their social media squeaky clean, as recruiters will check them out?
Does anyone check out Stonewalls social media before donating, or letting them use their company name?

Bonions · 06/11/2018 15:49

I went incognito and could see no supportive comments

VickyEadie · 06/11/2018 15:48

The most poignant was "It is absolutely shocking that as a lesbian anything I see about your organisation fills me with dread and terror. An organisation that is being given money to help women like me actually fills me with dread and terror. This is so wrong."

#PeakStonewall

BeyondVicious · 06/11/2018 15:47

...

Wow, it's option 1!! Shock
Not one positive comment.

BeyondVicious · 06/11/2018 15:45

Either there is not a single positive comment, or every single TRA has blocked me. It could easily be option 2 Grin

I'll go in anon...
