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.

If it’s Jess Bradley can we look forward to some dick pics in Stonewall’s office?

XXcstatic · 21/02/2019 20:22

Nah, it'll be a stunning brave TW. Not Pips though because Pips only insults and appropriates womanhood part-time.

WeRiseUp I can’t take the credit for that I’m afraid, I’m not that clever. A woman on facebook suggested it. I’ll give her a cut if my horse comes in.

Transman is a good bet. Preferably one who is antii-lesbian so Stonewall can continue to put the boot in.

Nah, they have lost the plot and have lost touch with reality. It will be someone from the trans advisory board.
I don't mind if a trans person takes the role, just so they know what homosexualty is and are prepared to defend it. Putting a stop to things like employing Morgan 'overcoming the cotton ceiling' Page would be a start - that was/is a shameful association.

I’m having a tenner on a transman.

Any thoughts?

James Morton?
Charlie Kiss?
Stephen Whittle?

I like your thinking.

I'll put a tenner on a Black lesbian.

Whatisthisfuckery · 21/02/2019 18:17

No, it’ll definitely be a female. Another lesbian, or for extra points, a transman. Things are a bit iffy right now, a man, of either the gay or lesbian variety will look too dodgy.

Good riddance to her. I hope she is suitably ashamed of her influence in the destruction of homosexuality being accepted during her watch, and the ruining of lives and destruction of homosexual 'communities' that has happened in the last few years.

Homosexuality and 'lesbian' have been redefined under her watch. It is ok for her, presumably she has a partner and a network of actual lesbian friends, what about those of us who don't?
I am afraid now to go to any lesbian groups, lest I am outed as somehow 'transphobic'. The threats are everywhere and Stonewall has never spoken out. My online dating matches are over half transwomen, yet we are now in a position that people are praised for calling me a bigot if I object to this. It is so wrong.

They should have been speaking out in defence of homosexuality but instead have remained silent and therefore complicit in the branding of lesbians 'terfs' etc simply for maintaining our boundaries.

I will be stunned if her replacement is not a trans women, no doubt one who identifies as being a lesbian.
Hopefully it will be someone odious enough to make more people wake up to the nonsense that Stonewall now is.
They no longer represent people like me.

Interesting how all the positive replies are focusing on trans. I haven't' yet read one thing where a gay, lesbian or bisexual person has complimented her on the work she did for their communities and needs.

It's all about the T.

It will be a white, straight male

I don't know. I honestly believe women are given the top/front spot where men seek to increase their sexual entitlements.

Maybe she'll be someone who has risen up through the sex trade. A former madam or something.

ChattyLion · 21/02/2019 18:02

Isn’t there a vacancy for a Chief Executive at the Girl Guides or the NUS?

WeRiseUp · 21/02/2019 18:01

At the moment she's got a host of 'trans' people thanking her for all she's done. Maybe she can focus on that and not the deafening silence from lesbians singing her praises for all she did for them.

HamiltonCork · 21/02/2019 18:01

It will be a white, straight male (AKA trans lesbian) who was privately educated and went on to a typically solid middle class career trajectory and then transitioned late in life.

It will be noticeable that up until transitioning the said individual was never involved in LGB rights or showed any interest in feminism. Which will seem odd as they will claim they’ve always been a lesbian 🤷‍♀️

NopeNi · 21/02/2019 17:58

I don't care if I'm being rude here. I hope she one day understands just how much hell she's personally caused for real women - and I hope it burns.

WeRiseUp · 21/02/2019 17:53

They've been grooming Maria Larasi for a while - John Bercow's gaff and everything - she added kudos to their 'we've asked the women's sector - and can confidently say that dicks in refuges do not and can not cause any problems for women' spiel just by being in the photos.. maybe it will be her?

Linda Riley could not in a billion years be the public face of anything.

LangCleg · 21/02/2019 17:37

Eddie Izzard!

MsJeminaPuddleduck · 21/02/2019 17:36

They'll have to get another lesbian as cover. Anything else and it's too obvious

WeRiseUp · 21/02/2019 17:22

Linda Riley is possible I reckon.
