Really clear and well-argued.

I thought this bit was especially telling:

The publication of the trans tool kit illustrates the risks to all organisations which choose to rely on Stonewall for advice on transgender issues. The police have stumbled into a complex area which they appear not to properly understand — and Stonewall is not telling its client organisations the whole story.

This is very clear and very worrying. I cannot thank Johnny and all the other clear thinkers, Doc Stock etc., for articulating the issues with such grace. What I still can't fathom is how we got to this point. My mind is truly boggled.

Excellent piece.

I assume the Police are paying for Stonewall's 'consultancy services' - how much has this actually cost?

AncientLights - you're right, I was thinking of the EA! Corrected - thanks!

He says the Human Rights Act 2010 - isn't it 1998? Whatever, his usual clear & concise arguments. I always look forward to reading his stuff.

Yet rape isn't. And they expect women to just shut up and support this.

Very good. And depressing! If I understood correctly, not believing that female is a feeling is technically a hate crime according to the police (but thankfully not the law - yet).
