I didn't feel that the segment covered the topic that well. For example, unless I missed it, they didn't really explain how Stonewall is misrepresenting the law. We have to remember that although most of us understand this stuff inside out, the average person has no idea what's going on, or what the Equality Act is, or what protected characteristics are.
To be honest, it never will to those of us for who have lived and breathed the intricacies of this stuff for years. That's the problem with every current affairs programme where all you get is a couple of minutes at best. It's easier when they are dealing with a discrete issue that has been effected, e.g.,freedom of speech. People can look at it through that lens, rather than the batshitery of gender theory. In 30 seconds, it is almost impossible to explain why changing the definition of homosexual from same sex to same gender attracted matters, or the finer subtleties of the Equality Act. People who are not in the know, not gay, not a GC woman and who use gender and sex interchangeably in every day parlance, don't realise that they are firing metaphorical loaded guns when they use those words. And I think that confusion and uncertainty is exactly what Stonewall wanted: because once everyone is confused - and throw their hands up and say, "You can't say anything now without causing offence! " - then Stonewall can sweep in and tell you what to say, tell you what is "right". And people will let them, because they are kind and want a quiet life, or not confident in their own beliefs and intelligence, or fearful or simply don't care because it doesn't really effect them.
We actually need a public enquiry into Stonewall, I think. There has been a major misuse of public funds by the BBC, and possibly a major breach of their charter. A misuse of public funds by OfCom, the Civil Service, the ECHR etc. Dentons seeking to influence public life in an unprecedented manner for a private law firm. This is as big as Savile. All of it needs to set out for the public to digest and understand what has been done.
