Webchat with Ruth Hunt (chief exec of Stonewall)

[Popchyk]

MNHQ,

Can I request that we have a webchat on here with Ruth Hunt of Stonewall?

I think a lot of mumsnetters would find it interesting and informative.

Could you ask her please?

:-)

I too would watch such a discussion with interest.

Perhaps we could start with people more likely to say yes: MNQH please can we have the queen for a webchat.

I think it would really interesting to have Ruth Hunt here, she must have all her answers at the ready, surely?

Yes please, I'd like to see Ruth on here answering questions about lesbians and their rights to say No.

Her answer is 'women's rights are no concern of Stonewall's, our only job is to advocate for 'trans' people'.

Stonewall's definition of 'trans' seems very broad but certainly doesn't reference gender dysphoria or include the rights of transsexuals who disagree. It is an ideological definition, rather than a medical/biological/factual one.

I'd like this, too.

Could you ask Ruth Hunt, MNHQ?

Ta.

Her answer is 'women's rights are no concern of Stonewall's, our only job is to advocate for 'trans' people'.

How on earth has Ruth Hunt forgotten that lesbians are women, as are many bisexual people? Her remit includes them.
