Transsexuals leaving the Stonewall umbrella

They really get what the issue is. Who Stonewall are really centring. And it's not them, no more is it people who are LGB.

It's incredibly brave of them to make that statement.

Very brave. One of the things I hate about this whole thing is the way transsexuals are getting caught up in people's fetishes and quests for power. They are being harmed too.

Very brave. I hope more names join their list in days to come.

Good for them!
This takes Lots of courage!

Very brave, great letter!!

Echoing others, this is very brave and encouraging. I also hope that others sign up to this.

I have huge respect for each and every one of them

Good for them.

I'm fully with get the L out, and many friends, gay and lesbian, no longer are willing to have anything to do with Stonewall or even call themselves LGB as it's become a political position that absolutely doesn't represent them.

Is it possible to leave an organization that doesn't have members?

Stonewall doesn't represent anyone apart from the corporations that give it money

Very brave. Bravo!

When an organisation issues a graphic - and shares it widely - putting a named population beneath an umbrella of one term, and that named population disagree?

That population are fully able to say publicly, we weren't asked, we don't agree, stop doing it.

They are distancing themselves from stonewalls current ideals.

A strong message, heartfelt and very clearly articulated. Good for them.

Excellently written, brave and clear.

Good on them!

Breath of fresh air!
Thank you for bringing this to our attention.
Eager to hear Stonewall's reply.
Also telling how the word transexual is now being appropriated too
I hope this movement gains international attention

Now would be a good time for a similar letter from the homosexual and lesbian members, who have become disillusioned with stonewall, because of their permitted harassment and manipulation of those members.

Good for them. I totally support those 14.

Good for them. All the best to you if any of you are reading this.

Also agreed.

Once the petitions are well on their way they need flagging up to the press. Stonewall are a joke these days. Now I know that they're funded by corporate interests it makes more sense why they've been pushing the agenda they have. They're so underhanded. I hate that lesbians, gays and transsexuals are being dragged into all this. Never mind the way TA's always drag intersex people into arguments to try to make half baked scientific claims. It's kinda personal I guess because my old friend adopted an intersex child who it turned out had been assigned the wrong sex at birth. It was a long time ago and it was so hard for them all. It's not the same thing as feeling gender queer!

Good point Jacky.
Given the number of teenage girls being referred surely there should be loads of middle aged women celebrating that they can finally be men.
Yet here we are, loads of middle aged women relieved that they’re now adults and didn’t do their teenage years now.
