Sounds like she may already have another role lined up. Just one month's notice.

JKR in this context is John Knowles Ritchie

In NonBinary Awareness Week, too!

FFS we've just had to endure an entire Pride month and now it's NonBinary Awareness Week? 🙄

It's interesting she's gone the week of Mermaids car crash and the Allison Bailey costs decision.

Of all the other 51 weeks she could have picked, why this one?

She's done loads for the Q+, to be fair

And she hasn't qualified whether these "tangible, life-changing impacts" are positive or negative...

NutellaEllaElla · 10/07/2023 15:50

I honestly don't know who else she could be referring to when she thanks JKR??

Under Nancy’s leadership Stonewall has achieved tangible, life-changing impacts for LGBTQ+ people

What would these be then? I would say it's 3 years of total failure on all counts.

(And yes, I know it doesn’t refer to The One True JKR; but if Nancy will be silly enough to use an initialism here that the vast majority of people would have to search-engine-of-choice to find the non-Rowling meaning of, I reserve the right to point & laugh.)

NitroNine · 10/07/2023 15:38

In case the highlighting has made the text too faint for anyone, in her big thread about how awesome she’s been at running Stonewall, Nancy thanks the brilliant JKR for providing support with Stonewall’s rebranding & rebuilding 😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂

Sounds like she jumped, then. And they don't have a replacement, and she's not hanging around til they find one.

And, doesn’t Mermaids only have an interim CEO, meaning that they will be recruiting for a permanent one? 🤔

We can only hope...

...she can go down on the ship

Vintagevixen · 10/07/2023 15:33

She'll be popping up with GenderGP very soon, next to those absolute ghouls Green and Webberley

SidewaysOtter · 10/07/2023 15:21

So ... she's saying, things are so bad she's fucking off, but for god's sake somebody elsedo something?

Like when Cameron oversaw the shitshow that was Brexit before whistling his way out to spend more time in his shepherd's hut...

SquirrelSoShiny · 10/07/2023 14:36

I wonder will she show any humility about the harm Stonewall has done to the LGB community in its relentless pursuit of money and prioritising of the rest of the alphabet over LGB people.

Very droll 😆

Oh god, do you think she might go to Mermaids?

They can't afford Nancy

Rainbowshit · 10/07/2023 15:19

Good riddance. Hopefully get someone who doesn't call lesbians "sexual racists" for not wanting to suck cock.

ArabeIIaScott · 10/07/2023 15:19

Helleofabore · 10/07/2023 14:47

And nothing said about the LGB.... can it get any more clearer?

Show quote history

Aye, good point. It's all about the gender.

ArabeIIaScott · 10/07/2023 15:18

'"I leave this job as the anti-gender / anti-rights movement is running rampant around the globe, and the transphobic moral panic created here in the UK is being exported everywhere. The time for us all to stand up is *long past. We need your help"'

So ... she's saying, things are so bad she's fucking off, but for god's sake somebody else do something?

SidewaysOtter · 10/07/2023 15:04

Oh dear. What a shame. But her response to "the anti-trans movement running rampant round the globe" is...to walk away? Hmm

Madcats · 10/07/2023 14:56

Does that mean that she now can't be called as a witness in whatever Alison Bailey's court thingy is to be called?
