The Times: "Support for Stonewall crumbles after Cass review"

That's very positive. Nobody should be selling trans stuff to schools - that's at the root of many of the problems children and young people face.

Although many members of the LGBT human rights group OutRage! shared the feminist critique of marriage, the activist group had been lobbying for marriage equality since 1992, on the grounds that the ban was a form of homophobic discrimination. In 2010, it joined forces with other organisations to form the Equal Love campaign, which sought to end the twin legal bans on same-sex civil marriages and opposite-sex civil partnerships.
Stonewall repeatedly briefed against OutRage! and Equal Love; making bogus claims about the cost of equal marriage. Has anyone ever heard another LGBT organisation reduce equality to a financial calculation? Equal rights is a human rights principle – not something that can be embraced or rejected, depending on the cost.
Stonewall’s unwillingness to support the equal marriage campaign was quoted by homophobes to justify their opposition to same-sex marriage. The anti-gays gloated: “Even Stonewall doesn’t support gays getting married.”

Stonewall did not lead that campaign and were pretty late backing it

Stonewall, Britain's largest gay-rights campaigning group, is in the grip of a deepening row – involving such prominent activists as Sir Ian McKellen – over accusations that the group is failing to back a campaign for same-sex marriages.

Exactly - they could just read the Equality Act.

Why do they need an alternative? This is what I fail to understand the EqA is not difficult to understand, it is not akin to splitting the atom to treat employees well and fairly, it basic decency and common sense.

I’m not a conspiracy theorist but when someone says it’s a Russian/ Chinese plot to spread conflicting info in an attempt to destabilise our society -it was all so crazy I sometimes think you know what, they could be right.

What does this mean? Why do they need an alternative?

Someone was complaining on LinkedIn today that their consultancy work on trans “stuff” in schools and speaking engagements in corporates had basically dried up in the past 4 months.

Sooooo tempted to comment that I am glad their grift is up 😼

The chartered society of Physiotherapy are doubling down on rainbow think.

My strong captured workplace has a meeting this week about potential dropping of stonewall which I never ever thought I'd see. The only problem is they don't see any alternative.

Cass Report changes everything.

They can try. Over the last years our numbers have grown, we are getting stronger all the time and we are seasoned, we know the tricks. Cass Report was a game changer for the wider world and vindicated our views.

Will take time but it will happen.

Oh good God I hope not. Bunch of charlatans.

Signed.

👌

😅😂

think we are fast approaching the point where joining Stonewall looks about as sensible as joining Baader-Meinhof (one for the teenagers there)

Bloody great

Arent these people just waiting in the wings to take over where SW left off? They say "thousands" of schools have signed up to take part.
Note the way they use pictures of ethnically diverse groups of schoolchildren and call their event "School Diversity Week" but it is about LGBT, not any other dimension of diversity.

Removing SW’s influence from universities will be a challenge too, the aforementioned Jonathan Slater is now a Professor at The Policy Institute, Kings College, London

Stonewall back in the day produced some good anti bullying work for schools on homophobia. Unfortunately that gave them credibility, so when gender identity became the next cause, they were uncritically feted and funded. The DfE senior civil servant (Jonathan Slater), apparently with a personal interest in children transitioning, got special awards from Stonewall for his efforts installing mixed sex toilets at the DfE. Subsequently civil servants generously funded Stonewall, Mermaids and other trans activists groups, even promoting them to schools via government guidance.
Extricating their influence from schools will be so difficult as it depends on the government & civil servants reversing their previous uncritical funding and recommendations.

Ah. Not the Atomic Energy Authority 😃

The civil service is saturated with trans ideology. The staff network SEEN (Sex Equality & Equity Network) fights every day for policies to be correct according to the law. And it is a fight. The excuses to why they use 'gender' rather than 'sex' saying it's based on what the HR system's fields are and they can't reprogramme it are disingenuous and so frustrating.

My public sector employer is considering not renewing its membership based, apparently, on ‘value for money’…
