Just seen this on Twitter.

I’d like to think her successor will be less homophobic. We shall see, although I’m not holding out much hope.

I will definitely be a transwoman or a handmaiden.
And they'll rename the acronym to TTTTT+

People who have been deleted, am I right that those posts were ones that stated truth rather than polite fiction?

ChattyLion · 21/02/2019 22:08

Oh sorry WeRise no not at all, I wrote my post before I saw your second one! I was worried I sounded like a dick asking for ‘evidence’ off you when I was just asking a generalised question really. Apologies, I put that badly.

I am just baffled now whether Ruth H could have been working under duress this whole time in some way, or if the gender critical penny has finally dropped for her or what.

Either way I hope the Stonewall Trustees are reflecting on the current direction on their watch- if this is really the direction they still want to go in. They have an opportunity to change tack now without losing too much face, with the Chief Exec leaving.

Morgan Ogre is arranging a visa right now.

She may go abroad like Nick Clegg.

The house of cards is collapsing.

It will be a man who takes over. Sure, they may look like Carmel Miranda but it will be a man.

Isn't LGBT just lgbT (small letters intended) now?

So the next CEO has to be trans.

RedToothBrush · 21/02/2019 21:52

I think Brian Paddick should throw his hat into the ring.

Fuck no.

The Cotton Ceiling always seems to be applied to lesbians. Yet it applies equally to heterosexual males the vast majority of whom would not sleep with a trans woman and certainly not one with a penis. Because they are not homosexual and this is respected. This isn’t questioned and heterosexual men are not called transphobic for this. I think this simply underlined the misogyny of the whole ideology.

Honestly I didn't think you were being arsey. Reading back the 'well' makes me look arsey. It came out wrong. Smile

WeRise I don’t mean ‘what’s the evidence’ in any kind of arsey way to you personally, genuine question.

I would have respect for Ruth Hunt if she had had a sudden change of heart about the direction the charity has taken under her watch, and was leaving on that point of principle.

WeRiseUp · 21/02/2019 21:14

Well a big party of 'transwomen' went to her en masse to ask her to include trans in the LGB at Stonewall. It's possible they had already made inroads to the board before that meeting and she needed to go along with it.

I say this because I don't believe that anyone, particularly if they are female or lesbian could accept the shit spouted by Stonewall unless they are monumentally dim. But maybe she is that dim.

ChattyLion · 21/02/2019 21:08

shit she doesn’t even believe

Eh?.. Ruth Hunt is the same person who said that there was nothing to talk about when lesbians and gay men said to Stonewall they wanted to discuss the clash of rights.

Whats the evidence for her not believing something she has been promoting very hard at Stonewall for years?

WeRiseUp · 21/02/2019 20:58

You mean she laid down as their doormat and they still forced her out?

I'm thinking that the fact she is going to have to work her full 6 month notice period means they aren't letting her go willingly. That and the pointed comments about the board, suggests to me that she is finding it hard to weather facing so much criticism from the likes of Johnny Best for spouting shit she doesn't even believe with an earnest face. I think that would be stressful.

Allegedly Ruth Hunt is not the only woman leaving Stonewall
Really I thought it was just her, are there more resignations?

WeRiseUp · 21/02/2019 20:52

Ah NotTerfNorCis - that's assuming they actually believe the shit they spout.

CaptainKirksSpookyghost · 21/02/2019 20:51

Maybe Hunt is leaving because she can no longer bear the lies she is forced to utter. How any sane woman can support Stonewall is beyond me.

NotTerfNorCis · 21/02/2019 20:50

If we're betting, I'll put my virtual money on a transwoman. Not a transman, because according to the ideology they have male privilege.

youllhavehadyourtea · 21/02/2019 20:43

Martina!

StupidyTower · 21/02/2019 20:42

I should have said 'Stonewall in its current state', sorry.

Ohallright · 21/02/2019 20:36

I want Linda Bellos. I don’t agree with her politically, but I think it would be a healing move. I think she would be great

StupidyTower · 21/02/2019 20:30

Allegedly Ruth Hunt is not the only woman leaving Stonewall. It must be a very difficult workplace for a female.

I'd agree with posters who say it'll get worse before it gets better.
