How many women are on their SMT, I wonder?

I’d say Stonewall is in breach of their charitable aims.

How bloody dare they say they speak for women? And how inaccessible is that document? Have they not got onto rolling over all the additional needs charities yet? I’m sure it’s coming. Is there monopoly governance for charities?

Dear Stonewall,

Does your arse ever get jealous of all the shit that comes out of your mouth?

Yours,
Kitty

That ratio is amazing.

The Keira Bell case was the canary in the coal-mine. Between Nicholson's letters and Truss' pronouncement, Stonewall is waking up to the push-back.

As an aside, I don't have dyslexia or a visual impairment and I find those slides hideous to read!

I felt pissed trying to read it, like the room was spinning!

zzizz · 18/12/2020 13:36

Lol. The only women they care about are the type who are male.

Passmeabottlemrjones · 18/12/2020 13:23

This is the same Stonewall who are currently actively campaigning to remove the single sex exemptions in the Equality Act?!

@BlueCatRedCat

Current CEO probably panicking that there won't be a cushy job in the Lords etc at the end of their stint, unless they can claw back some credibility for this cesspit of an organisation.
Facts not fashion. Maybe they'll pretend for a while to actually care about actual women as a way to keep their money rolling in.

I really hope they're given the boot. Wouldn't trust them as far as I can spit, and no woman needs those prats in her corner.

ThatIsNotMyUsername · 18/12/2020 12:49

I seem to remember seeing a team photo that stonewall put out. That tells you all you need to know.

And all the ‘alllies’ and ‘officers’ I come across these days in industry - a hell of a lot are women Xmas Confused

It’s like a cosmetic dentist standing two doors down from his surgery, club in hand, smashing people in the face. As they walk broken toothed and bleeding, the poster in the surgery invites them in with a special deal.

Joisanofthedales · 18/12/2020 12:24

Bollocks to Stone wall. Why? Because women don't have testicles or XY chromosomes and your so called support would just be a way of sneaking these men into your definition of woman. So FTFO we don't need you or your misogyny.

Jingle bells in fact. All the way...

They can fuck off to the far side of fuck, then fuck off again.

This, with bells on!!

Oh FUCK OFF, Stonewall!
Seconded! Grin

This!
Ereshkigalangcleg · 18/12/2020 09:32

Are they so foolish that they think women will forget the gaslighting, the attacks, the insults?

I doubt they care.They don't think they need our consent or support to speak for us over us and crowbar in males.

nothingcomestonothing · 18/12/2020 09:30

Just exactly how stupid do Stonewall think we are? Angry They can fuck off to the far side of fuck, then fuck off again. The replies to that tweet are quite heartening though.

I feel so sorry for Ben Summerskill, under whose quietly effective leadership Stonewall steadily achieved everything it set out to do for LGB people. (Yes, I know Ben wasn't bothered about equal marriage, but we got it anyway). In those days Stonewall was small and really felt like a unifying force for LGB people. It's going to end up as one of those discredited, infamous examples of organisations that went horribly wrong instead of a triumph of hope and dedication.

Not going to happen is it. As my mum used to say ‘you might shit on me but there’s no way I’m going to let you rub it in...’ (or something like that...)

Wrongsideofhistorymyarse · 18/12/2020 09:09

Cynical, money-grubbing bastards.

LaLaLandIsNoFun · 18/12/2020 09:09

Money chasing, that’s all this is. The money has dried up with trasngenderism or is about to as the writing on the wall becomes clearer with the Bell case, and so stonewall (ironically) now needs to diversify
