Government Legal Department leaving Stonewall

Julie Bindel has it on good authority. This is a large department (c. 2,000 staff), and it provides legal advice to other government departments.

@Theonline

Doubtless some of it is about the knowledge that the VFM line keeps the RHB on-side. They can’t function if they’re having to deal with staff tantrums; & they know that GC women aren’t going to rock the boat but rather will keep the peace. Essentially they’re relying on good old female socialisation & expecting GC women to be mummy to entire workplaces.

This is good news.

Although I work for a government department that re left Stonewall. Staff were “reassured” that it was entirely about VFM and doing the same work internally LGBTQ+ staff should continue to feel completely safe…

… and therefore that GC women like me should continue to feel unsafe in terms of being able to share our views and concerns, and need to do our jobs advocating for vulnerable groups with the utmost caution never to display our personal views.

whereas the rainbow hair brigade are completely free to share their views because gender ideology so permeates the organisation that their views are not even recognised as views but are seen as neutral.

About time they all got out. Ridiculous any government departments are still associated with the racket.

But very likely they’ve been giving incorrect legal advice for years. It’s not surprising they don’t want to hold their hands up.

It’s great that more are quitting the SW protection racket but I wish there would be more honesty about the reasons rather than the width washy “we didn’t feel it offered good value for money” excuse. Maybe GLS will be the first but I’m not holding my breath.

BREAKING: Stonewall are so going down. I just heard from a staffer that the GLD ( government legal department) are pulling out of the criminal protection racket that is the Diversity Champions programme, but not yet official. This scam is truly over.

Was her tweet.

It's like dominoes!

That would be excellent news

It will be good to see that verified because that's a substantial indicator.
