Stonewall - pointers

I want to point my 20 yo niece to some of Stonewall's policies and the impact they have had, so she can make a more informed decision on whether to support them.

Where is a good place to start?

The The Equality Act says that gay people are same sex attracted, but Stonewall state their definition of 'homosexual' to be 'same gender attracted'.

Stonewall want to remove all sex based protections from The Equality Act and to introduce Self ID. This has not ended well for women in countries where it has been implemented, including the US, Canada and Ireland.

Or just show her photos of Pride marches back in, say the 80s (young adults in jeans and LG/B t-shirts - back when you could be ‘spotted’ at a parade, outed and abused - even sacked) and then today - rubber doggies patted by kids (don’t forget the tent for pup play with the photo of a child letting a doggy with an erection), man babies, male bodies persons with breasts - well manipulated moobs - twirking at kids… police with trans colour painted riot shields and PC bumblebee… all the rainbow washed companies and businesses trying to squeeze a buck out of a trend. It’s a new Halloween really.

before - there was no gay marriage, so no pension rights or rights of a partner for a say healthcare decisions or rights to a shared property (if it belonged to a deceased partner). We had AIDS and discrimination. The police were more likely to be on the side of the jeering skinheads…

Spot the difference?

I just checked it and it works fine for me;

''Our recommendations to the Select Committee include:
Reforms to the Gender Recognition Act 2004, including the removal of the requirement to provide medical evidence and a process for people under 18 to access legal gender recognition

A review of the Equality Act 2010 to include ‘gender identity’ rather than ‘gender reassignment’ as a protected characteristic and to remove exemptions, such as access to single-sex spaces''
