Petition to Stonewall

176 replies

ecosomething · 03/10/2018 20:51

New petition launched calling on Stonewall to:

  • Acknowledge that there are a range of valid viewpoints around sex, gender and transgender politics
  • Acknowledge specifically the conflict that exists between transgenderism and sex-based women’s rights
  • Commit to fostering an atmosphere of respectful debate, rather than demonising as transphobic those who wish to discuss or dissent from Stonewall’s current policies

What a pathetic response from Ruth Hunt.

FekkoTheLawyer · 04/10/2018 13:03

"Penny - we have your cat. Read out these words and Miss Tiddles of Woolworthshire will come to no harm."

placemats · 04/10/2018 13:06

Signed.

It was Ruth's response that was the deciding factor.

FekkoTheLawyer · 04/10/2018 13:09

Maybe they have her cat too.

VforVienetta · 04/10/2018 14:34

Argh, i wrote a fairly long comment when i signed but it didn’t actually register it! I’ve signed now with no comment and it worked.

What happens when we hit 5000 signatures? I will change the target to 8,000....then 10,000. We will keep going.

FekkoTheLawyer · 04/10/2018 17:25

Yay! Go go go!

SonicVersusGynaephobia · 04/10/2018 17:30

Signed under real name. No fucks given anymore. Happy to be "out" as someone who thinks people are allowed to be homosexual.

Johnny best on R4 now!

Methe · 04/10/2018 17:49

I’m want to sign but don’t want to use my real name or email address. Crazy isn’t it!

FekkoTheLawyer · 04/10/2018 17:57

I missed the r4 (it's about robots now). What happened?

Yvaine1 · 04/10/2018 17:58

Stonewall living up to its name on R4.

Threewheeler1 · 04/10/2018 18:06

Anyone hear what happened with Jonny?
The kids keep playing 'kazoo kid' meme over and over to wind me up so I missed it.

Threewheeler1 · 04/10/2018 18:07

It's at 3635 now.
Well done Jonny Best.

ErrolTheDragon · 04/10/2018 18:14

Stonewall living up to its name on R4.

I always thought it was named after the Stonewall Inn (via the riot) but seems to be more or less going by the dictionary definition now

'delay or obstruct (a request, process, or person) by refusing to answer questions or by being evasive.'

Maybe more like downright misleading on R4 just now - no, the law doesn't say 'transwomen are women'. If Hunts comprehension in this area is so poor, she really shouldn't be leading an organisation representing GBT people.
