Stonewall?

The disappearance of negative perspectives from search engines is part of the whole picture, isn't it?

Sounds really interesting op. I'd be really up for reading it when you've finished if you didn't mind sharing?

I'm assuming that a "balanced" essay means you examine the claims and evidence on each side impartially and even-handedly, but that the conclusion should be determined by the evidence on each side, rather than you having to "sit on the fence"?

I'm not sure why I'm not getting the results I was a month or 2 ago, I haven't done anything to offset the algorithm. I searched this morning and it was 2 whole pages of different sections to stonewall website and words I my search crossed out in some results. It was just weird, to be honest.

Google results are very obviously TRA-skewed in the sex+gender area, with dissenting resources downranked. What you were seeing was probably the result of manual intervention (either by Google or external people manipulating the results) to get new pages downranked.

DuckDuckGo is much better. With searches like "sex is a spectrum" or "gender statistics" I get a mixture of results on the first page from both viewpoints.

You could in fact make an interesting point about lack of Google positive searches? Afterall, Google is a business first and foremost.

It doesn't have to sound like a conspiracy theory, just a sentence?

And don't forget the wishy washy term used by various government departments - it's not value for money!

*being sued

Noot noot! I love saying that.

You probably have plenty to use now but I second the recommendation of trying another search engine such as duckduckgo.

If you're talking about it from a business perspective, the main thing has to be the susceptibility to bring sued by an employee over the Equality act being misrepresented.
The second is loss of good reputation.

See "egg on face" from the ONS snd Essex Uni for starters.

You could mention that it will be interesting to see if applications to Sussex Uni fall after Dr Stock. Just look at what had happened to Evergreen in the US (although that was mainly race related, it's an interesting parallel I feel)

Me too.

If you search for stonewall and click on 'news' you should see recent news items about stonewall. This is what I get.

If you are approaching from a business perspective, OP, you could explore the “Go woke, go broke” angle. Businesses like M snd S driving away their core demographic by bowing to Stonewall and allowing men in women’s changing rooms, employing a male (transwoman) bra fitter, etc.
Organised boycotts of businesses that push Stonewall ideology on their customers, eg sanpro companies referring to “menstruators” or “bleeders” instead of women.
Companies enforcing pronouns on badges or in emails, and providing mixed sex toilets for staff and customers. All in obedience to Stonewall and the trans rights agenda.

It's from a businesses perspective, so the effects it has had on companies/employess/consumers and the country as a whole, really

There's the Allison Bailey case.

She has her own site where she lays out her case and posts case updates. One update includes a letter from Stonewall to her Chambers (that the judge described as a threat).

Google returns different results to everyone on any given search term, based on the data Google has collected on you. (This can be good sometimes, but doesn't always work to our advantage.)

The Sex Matters website has useful info.

Are you looking at it from a business perspective or sociology, law, diversity, media studies, etc?

School or uni?

You can google The Spectator journalist, James Kirkup on Stonewall, there are loads of articles about their evolution towards the denial of homosexuality.

Or, alternatively, you could just check out Stonewall's own glossary to give you an idea what an organisation that previously supported gay people now thinks of homosexuality.

Likewise their CEO likening lesbians to racists for excluding men. And the previous CEO claiming that people who believe in biological sex were akin to antisemites.

Just doing an advanced search on here with Stonewall in the title will give you a lot of info, too.

Oh do also look at Stonewall's submission to the GRA consultation (think it was 2015?) where they proposed removing all the single-sex exemptions from the EqA, which would make it illegal to provide any single-sex spaces or services AT ALL (as this would then be classed as sex discrimination)! This is still available on their own website I believe. And also you could dig into how their schemes (Diversity Champions and the Workplace equality index I think it is?) require companies/orgs to promote Stonewall campaigns and policies (on social media etc) in order to get "points" on the index, despite these policies often being very controversial (e.g. GRA reform) and the likelihood that many employees would not agree with/might even be harmed by them. And them encouraging employers to make toilet and changing facilities "gender-neutral" (aka mixed-sex), and/or to allow employees to "self-identity" into using the facilities of the opposite sex, with no Equality Impact Assessment or consideration of the feelings/needs of other employees (especially women). That should give you plenty to get started on!

I think Safe Schools Alliance website still has template letters which outline the ways that Stonewalls advice contradicts The Children's Act and The Education Act.
