New LGB organisation to replace Stonewall

[Pam2419]

Any more information out there on this?

@Juells Thst Video is insane! Thanks for sharing.

It's really come to something when lesbians, gay men and bisexuals have to set up a new organisation to combat Stonewall's homophobia.

Of course it would be better if Stonewall - which has 130+ employees, compete corporate capture, and more money than god - actually did what it was founded for, to advocate for the rights of LGB people, but if it refuses to, and actually advocates against LGB rights, well, we will simply have to push them aside and crack on with the job.

Could have called it 'T break'.

Just reading this twitter thread and oh my.

The T are taking it very very poorly and/or rewriting history (but that's not new...!)

"Nice to know that despite trans and non-binary people doing all the heavy lifting for the movement for decades y'all gonna just try and drop us as soon as it becomes politically inconvenient ✌"

"Needs more T 🤔🤔🤔"

"Fascists. 🐺"

Corker from mimmymum!: "Have you actually met many trans people lately? They’re about as gender nonconforming as you get!"

Pictorial with gun "shut the fuck up TERF" (twice)

"trans rights are human rights" (er, right, what has this got to do with the price of fish?)

And the classic "human rights mean we're connected - it is intersectional. Jobbing off all transgender folk just shows you're not serious about human rights. Be better."

I'll sign up for a direct debit, if you're reading Simon.

The cuckoos do not like the taking back of the nest.

Perfect summary.

I thought it was more akin to an addict realising their enabler is tuning off the money tap.

T break!
love that.

I don't want to be infantilised by MNHQ. I will donate money if I choose to, and if it turns out I have donated to a bad actor then I am a fucking grown up and I live and learn or I carry on donating on the off-chance that at some point I shall have actually helped someone genuine. That decision is mine, and mine alone and I don't need MN butting in on it.

So judging by the tweets, the main ones opposed are males, they/thems and flurries.

They are behaving like they don't have a billion other orgs that support them.

*furries

Damn autocorrect

Oh dear, Owen Jones isn't happy...

I’ve long felt it odd that trans rights are joined up with gay rights.

Being gay, lesbian or bi is about who you love, who you make a commitment to, who you raise children with.
Trans and queer are about identity.

If Little Owen Jones isn't happy they are onto a winner. Why would you expect anything different from the cheerleader of Identity politics?

What is LOJ worried about? Surely it means all the nasty bunch will bog off and leave him and his rainbow friends to their happy little lives?

You'd think he'd be cheering this on.

Come on Owen, tell us why you think its so bad to have the haters leave you alone?

AnyOldPrion Miranda is same sex attracted, and described his relationship with Helen (author of the "boy called Helen" blog) as a male homosexual relationship, if I remember correctly).

NB for the benefit of our Twitter monitors, Miranda's preferred pronouns are "he" etc, and it was Helen who came up with the "boy called Helen" title, so I don't think I'm misgendering anyone here.

If I were "cis" I'd be really angry!!
Uh, but you aren't....

I see the knives are out for them already

Brave people, I salute them.

One of the replies to that tweet says that terfs only barely tolerate bi sexual people.

I’ve never seen that. Has anyone else?

I see woke-bloke woman hater of Leeds is on there describing himself as "cos pan" which has a certain whiff of desperation about it.

Isn't there a Hugh chance Twitter will ban it for being transphobic?

High not Hugh
No idea who Hugh is 😂

I see the knives are out for them already

It is at the 'leaving an abusive relationship' stage.

A tweet saying "you don't get to chose who you support". I feel like this sums up the whole attitude.
