Welcome to the sisterhood.

"I am thankful for activists both pro and anti women’s rights.
You have focussed my mind with your love and your hate.
I am officially radicalised.

She’s fab.

NopeNi · 03/10/2018 21:14

She's one of the people who have publicly signed the new petition to Stonewall. I am so impressed!

ToeToToe · 03/10/2018 21:58

The Stonewall petition is all over twitter if anyone wanted to sign Wink

VickyEadie · 03/10/2018 22:01

Alison - only you!

SmellyHead · 03/10/2018 22:14

This has made me very happy Grin

Redshoeblueshoe · 03/10/2018 22:59

There is a thread with a link to the petition

Let’s get Alison Moyet to #1.

Ordinary Girl! Go buy it! 😀💃

Omg

Alison has signed this letter in the Times

We urge Stonewall to acknowledge that there are a range of valid viewpoints around sex, gender and transgender politics, and to acknowledge specifically that a conflict exists between transgenderism and sex-based women’s rights. We call on Stonewall to commit to fostering an atmosphere of respectful debate rather than demonising as transphobic those who wish to discuss, or dissent from, Stonewall’s transgender policies.

So Alison, after relentless badgering from TRAs, has capitulated:

Very disappointing.

Wonder if she has been threatened, or her family?

Mumfun · 04/10/2018 19:55

sad and disappointing.

HandsOffMyRights · 04/10/2018 19:57

Sadly Alison will find out the hard way that her paper is now blotted, just like Caroline Lucas.

HandsOffMyRights · 04/10/2018 19:58

If she thinks she can appeal to TRAs' better nature, then she is woefully optimistic.

Datun · 04/10/2018 19:59

She will get there. Give her time. I have faith that the woman is an independent thinker.

DayMay · 04/10/2018 20:01

She has a alright to those opinions, as long as she's not expecting everyone to accept what she accepts.

JillyArmeeen · 04/10/2018 20:03

Oh shit she's gone for her re education.

Velella · 04/10/2018 20:06

She has always said trans women are women. I doubt she will move from that.

Melamin · 04/10/2018 20:06

I'm not sure what issues she signed up for that she does not hold with - she seemed to hold them all there.

Still it is a bit of a rollercoaster, all this peak transing. I don't think she likes to be told what to think, which is as it should be.

Mumfun · 04/10/2018 20:07

One thing she says is that she is fine about Transwomen in womens bathrooms. I'm glad she has had positive experiences in her life. But if she read this paper which makes me very sad she might see how woman survivors of male violence and abuse feel very differently: fovas.wordpress.com/

littlbrowndog · 04/10/2018 20:08

Jeez

Juells · 04/10/2018 20:09

I still love her, wish she hadn't caved but I'm sure her opinions come from a good place, unlike so many TRAs.

Melamin · 04/10/2018 20:09

She is probably thinking transwomen as in those with a GRC, and trying to be kind. We have all been there.

pennydrew · 04/10/2018 20:22

No I’m not giving her a pass. She said she was radicalised? Not one bit

lilllil · 04/10/2018 20:23

Stonewall must be thrilled. Now they can undermine all the signatories - they're either bigots or were really nice people tricked into signing.
