Trans activist vs Stonewall - Stonewall objects to them breaking boundaries

Or even just focused on the importance of transpeople being safe & respected in the spaces for their own sex.

Or thought more about human beings and making the world a safer place for everyone, than making money and getting themselves into the House of Lords.

Or reducing homophobia in countries where people can still be punished or killed for being gay... imagine if they had made progress there.

Imagine if Stonewall had put all that energy into fighting homophobia in men's sport, especially football.

I always remember that it rhymes with rolling and as in rolling with money.

Yes, I was! Didn't think of the right way to express it! Bowling not Growling. Will try harder next time to express myself better!

I think that’s what the pp is saying, no? I always pronounce it wrong, force of habit 😂

it still really bugs me when people call her JK (R)OW-ling and not Roe-ling.

But that’s how her name is pronounced. I saw a tweet from JKR quite recently stating that it’s Rowling to rhyme with bowling.

I know I get sidetracked by details and a bit pedantic, but it still really bugs me when people call her JK (R)OW-ling and not Roe-ling. I need to get out more I think...

This is something I have noticed, but then I had depression and I was very self-centered and it changed when I recovered.

Stonewall's purpose was to obtain marriage equality I think and now that is legalised they had to find a new campaign. You can tell that it is a bunch of gay men because they recycled the gay rights slogans of "be your authentic self" when that is the complete opposite of what trans people actually want.

What is the point of Stonewall doing a hostage video “condemning” JKR exactly? Talk about Rowling Derangement Syndrome.

The most activist TRAs are extremely self-centered, and Stonewall played into that, so yes, I can see them believing that Stonewall was and would remain forever their good little attack dog.

My takeaway from the video is how ridiculous it is that the countries number one LGBT charity with the ear of the government and policy makers have such a shit building and had just three staff in there supposedly working.

An ordinary high street charity shop would have more activity than Stonewall Headquarters.

I think, and hope, they will be folding before the end of the year.

Do the TRAs really believe that when Stonewall dumped LGB in favour of the T it was because they cared about them, not because they needed a new income stream?

Thank you so much for the Nitter link, I'm not on X and would have missed all those wonderful comments - including one from the admirable Róisín Murphy

It's sad really, the TRAs so want to believe it's about being allies they don't seem to have noticed the money changing hands. Not so much money now judging by how many pride committees are shutting down

Whenever I've heard one of these blokes speak they're always tirribly posh.

“I never thought the leopards would eat MY face” said the man who voted for the ‘leopards eating peoples faces’ party

Absolutely!

My stand out moment was when they said something like - we know that protecting trans rights isn't profitable - or similar.

I mean it is obviously a lot less profitable than it was, but my goodness it has been a gravy train for so many while it lasted. All that training, all those flags, all the policy writing and Stonewall award schemes... cha-ching!

No animal lovers among them though? Or maybe they don’t want to comment on that in case it counts as kink shaming.

Highlight of the letter reading regarding the EA2010 clarification: 'Kezia states, "Well, it's the law and should be respected."'

How sad for the TRAs.

They are getting fed up of him as they are realising he isn't achieving anything for them for the money they donate.

The TRAs are starting to turn on the good law project already, it seems that their most recent loss against the EHRC interim guidance was a loss to many for most

"her"???
