Ruth Hunt made a life Peer by Theresa May

This highly controversial appointment from the former PM means that Ruth Hunt, the former Stonewall Chief Executive, can now sit in the House of Lords as one of our national law makers.

Ruth Hunt will now often be looked to to speak up and advise other Peers on behalf of lesbians Shock and to speak for the LGB community, because of her former Stonewall role. Because many people don’t realise that Ruth Hunt and Stonewall’s agenda is very problematic for lesbians and for women in general.

Stonewall (and Hunt specifically) dismissed lesbians and women’s concerns by denying there is any clash of rights within Stonewall’s corporate agenda around ‘acceptance with exception’.

Stonewall’s absolute prioritisation of genderism has been criticised within the LGB community including by the original founders of Stonewall itself, and by many others who (like most of us) understand the need to uphold sex-based rights, privacy, dignity, safeguarding, offer same-sex spaces, opportunities, services, and accept the legitimacy of same-sex attraction.

Now that Hunt has been given this platform, we will need to be even more vocal about the obvious problems with the genderist agenda with our Parliamentarians.

"Women, know your place" from two fucking women, one of whom is a fucking lesbian.

Who are the gender critical Peers, do we know?

Lord Moonie. Can’t think of any others who are openly GC off the top of my head.

AnyOldPrion · 10/09/2019 10:17

Oh and Tanni Grey-Thompson is a baroness, I believe.

How can a proponent of #nodebate be given a lifetime job in a debating chamber?

We are truly in the corrupt upside down.

Of course Hunt was going to get a peerage. She was already high up at Stonewall when the same sex marriages act was passed and involved in good work for LGB equality before she lost the plot and thought she could create a separate trans wing at Stonewall and 'control' them, or whatever the word was that she used in private conversations.

ThePurported · 10/09/2019 10:38

And another thing: women like Theresa May will never understand what the fuss is about. It's just how it is. She has probably heard that some 'lesbians' have penises and thought, 'how nice for lesbians to have a bit of variety'.

A friend for Baroness Featherstone, who once told the House:

"I came to speak in this debate today because I am an uber-feminist. There are some feminists who have brought shame, I think, to the name of feminist by the level of hatred and vitriol that they have levelled at trans women. That is why I am standing here today. How little they understand this community. They should be welcoming and understanding to these new women. They should have humanity, kindness and inclusiveness in their souls. This fanatical assault is not feminism, it is false protectionism—mistaken protectionism. So to the faux feminists I say: regain your humanity and understanding. To be trans is challenging enough—with the sort of challenges that you have to go through to work in a world that has traditionally been totally binary and is now coming to grips with the fact that perhaps it is not the way we all thought it was. The attempted suicide rate should be indication enough that this is a community that needs our love and support. I am glad that we are going to try to do better."

How terrible to be this oppressed, to have MI5 and the Government and most of the House of Lords and every political party rooting for you, to have political parties and major organisations and institutions rewriting their rules and ignoring the law on your behalf. I can't imagine living this way.

Sunkisses · 10/09/2019 16:29

Oh god, it gets worse. Natalie Bennett, the former Green Party leader (remember the 'brain melt' during a Nick Ferrari interview?) and massive TRA, has also been made a peer. That'll be two TRAs in the House of Lords

CaptainKirksSpookyghost · 10/09/2019 16:49

I've long suspected Theresa May has seen this whole thing as a way of getting rid of homosexuals.

LoveGrowsWhere · 10/09/2019 16:56

If Bercow makes the usual transition to the Lords add another. He was a Stonewall politician of the year.

HandsOffMyRights · 10/09/2019 17:04

I can't recall the details but Bercow was also aligned to a male network years ago with a shady past.

HandsOffMyRights · 10/09/2019 17:08

Lots of links to Bercow 'friend of Edward Lord' here (sorry to derail but this shit just got even more serious)

But you know... we're the right wingers and trans isn't an establishment project at all.

MockersthefeMANist · 10/09/2019 17:49

It is often said the small number of high-profile sports and showbiz honours are there to distract attention from the relatively vast ranks of time-servers and arse-lickers who get past unchallenged.

Arise Sir Geoffrey Boycott. You have done your job.

ChattyLion · 10/09/2019 17:49

It’s as almost though with all these TRAs with the ear of government and getting into the Lords, we need to have a professional well-connected advocacy and research charity for women’s rights- to make good links with Parliament and advance the cause of women by giving their viewpoints, all backed up by relevant evidence.

To make all these points that we all make on here but in a professional paid capacity with several staff and with a proper Parliamentary liaison outfit for back up.

It could speak up for women about how they are being affected by this genderist shite.

We could call it, you know, something appropriate like, I dunno.. The Fawcett Society.

Oh, hang on
