Nancy Kelly Quits Stonewall

When you are not just campaigning for equal civil rights, but for totalitarian ideological imposition, what do you expect?

For many years Stonewall got away with it. Being funded by public bodies, but with no public accountability; enforcing no debate; and a secretive hand in inserting this ideology into all of our institutions and organisations.

It does feel gratifying that the The U.K grassroots movement has been both influential and instrumental in helping to turn the tide around the world. We've a long way to go yet......and any incoming Labour government is going to be a very big challenge that we all need to be prepared for.

Exactly!

She's been pushed out for her terrible decisions.

Maybe they mean how she's managed to reverse the tide of LBG and yes, T acceptance in the UK by her bull-headed insistence on pushing for the most homophobic, sexist, regressive and reactionary version of trans acceptance. That will sadly have a tangible impact on LBGT people. Just not at all a good one.

Has anybody here seen Kelly 🎶
Kelly from the Isle of Man 😲

It's from her twitter account.....scroll down a fair bit

This seems rather strange. Especially against NK's own tweets opining that everything is such a mess and she's off. Is she a "great campaigner" or not? If so, a few policy changes or a vague statements about Things Abroad But Lacking In Specificity don't feel like much of a tribute:

Transphobic moral panic?

No Nancy. I just don't sleep with blokes and need you and this mad movement to get over it.

And to get over that women's equality and access means that men are going to have to hear the word 'no' sometimes instead of requiring the entire world to revolve around them and screaming about punching anyone who thwarts them.

And that children fucking need leaving alone by adults with major political agendas.

'Panic'. 🙄

I can't see this statement on the Twitter link, is it from elsewhere?

I wonder if they will take the opportunity to focus on actual gay, lesbian and bi people. Seen that LGB might be ready to step in.

I think they are pretty much confirmed, no?

Rats, ships and sinking spring to mind

I think it’s yet another reminder of the Special Glitter “Look at me, I’ve got a LABEL” People. I mean, Pride ended a full 10 days ago so it’s high time everyone had a refresher on correct think.

What's non binary awareness week? Do they have to pull their heads out of their arses and look at what's going on?

Nancy Kelly who said 'we never said stop calling women women'...that Nancy Kelly, who issued clear guidance as part of the Stonewall Workplace Equality Index on not calling women women?

I think the chair Anderson was brought in to move her out. She was never suited to the job.

Also think it is about the money. Stonewall in 2022 was back down at 2017 income levels, so will be interesting to see if it goes down again when this year's accounts are published register-of-charities.charitycommission.gov.uk/charity-search/-/charity-details/3992465/financial-history

In NonBinary Awareness Week, too!

There's lots of rumours Mhairi Black won't be standing at the next GE.

Just saying..............

Rightsraptor Today 14:43

Well that's a poisoned chalice. Good luck finding anyone daft enough to take that on.

Liz Truss is dim enough to fit the bill and she'd be ideal. She tanked the economy in days, just think of what she could do with Stonewall!

My money is on her going to the Labour Party.

My thoughts too, sadly.
Interesting she called (whatever she was referring to as) 'anti-rights movement' - when you look at Stonewall's aims and the rights they are actively trying to remove!
"Moral panic" is such a weaselly bollocksy phrase. Just signifies that the user has zero interest in actually engaging with anything and just wants to fling mud. Par for the course in the general population, but when your job is presumably to engage with the issues facing LGB people? You have failed. You deliberately failed.

I wonder what anti gay lunatic we’ll be treated to next

My concern would be should she now pop up on the fringes of government. Iain Anderson, the current chair of Stonewall, defected from the Conservative party to the Labour party earlier on in the year.

This is all I really remember her doing:

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-57281448

'She likened so-called "gender critical" beliefs to anti-Semitism.'

and

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-10225111/Stonewall-brands-lesbians-sexual-racists-raising-concerns-sex-transgender-women.html

'She further complained that the ‘highly toxic’ cotton ceiling issue was ‘analogous to issues like sexual racism’.'

Fuckety- bye Nancy

She was always a poor choice, she’s a research person not a leader.

do you remember 3 years ago when she said this? She wanted to calm things down
that went well then….
