New LGB organisation to replace Stonewall

[Pam2419]

Any more information out there on this?

I see someone is trying (predictably) to go after Allison Bailey by posting this:

'You don't get to choose who you support' makes my blood run cold. How much clearer can they make It?

Actually that statement has given me a bit of a lightbulb moment

Coupled with some reading I've been doing and all the PITA stuff Londoners had to deal with last week.....it's all just disruptors. Disruption is the end game. Like the person who injects nastiness into the work environment because they find it fun. And presumably have no life apart from it.

This was trending when I logged on to Twitter. A lot of the tweets are TRAs being 'how very dare they' but it's all publicity and I expect many people will be quietly thinking it's about time this happened.

Very brave people.

I am so glad there is support for LGB people.

I also want support for trans people but I am very happy to see a specific group for LGB.

There are many groups supporting people of different ethnic origins or people with different disabilities/different abilities etc.

And we never say to someone you can't join a support group for people from India unless you also join a group for people from Jamaica; or you can't donate to RNIB unless you donate to wheels for the world, or whatever.

We know people can support different groups and we don't need everything to be rolled into one.

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

It does feel very bitter. If you want to look out for your own rights or own opportunities then you are somehow betraying others. I think the TRAs just do not realise how far they have pushed people.

If they were not constantly blurring lines, demanding that people stfu etc and encouraging children to transition that maybe people would have been fooled for longer.

I know and love trans people, but I don't love the control from TRAs, they just made it too easy to leave.

I think the TRAs just do not realise how far they have pushed people

I disagree
The TRAs know very well how far they are pushing people.

Wolves in sheep's clothing.

I really think the group will be banned by the time I wake up.

Meanwhile, I'm wondering if Mr "you don't get to choose who you support" is trolling.

WrathofSIxFootSIxElfKlop maybe so.

Maybe don't care rather than don't know! I was a big trans supporter (still am really) until I started reading a lot more about the subject. Probably just like most here.

It's currently trending in twitter but TRAs and co are saying it's a hate group. There's been a second twitter account set up anti the group.

the new group LGB Alliance, is @AllianceLgb.

please challenge the new Trans twitter @lgballiance

Shoer ewpoer in the Times today:

"Short report"
I shouldn't type in the semi dark.

And Janice Turner mentions it in her regular Thursday column

TRAs think everyone else is a 'hate group'. Shows a certain level of paranoia, I fear.

Btw I looked up hate group but couldn't find an actual definition - plenty about hate crimes though. Anyone know the definition the legal system works to?

Wrong pronouns are literal violence and setting up a group that focuses on issues other than trans stuff is a hate group.
These people are such a joke lol.

Shoer ewpoe

I see our favourite biology denying medical person is back hating lesbians. Genital preferences are ok for him but a trans woman still is a lesbian as far as pesky xx women are concerned.

I'm on a FB group to save Glen Etive from hydro power dams (we failed) and the woman who set it up starts every post with "rrrrrroooooaaaaarrr". Maybe I was channeling her *neurotrashwarrior"

Ig certainly a way to get noticed! May try on twitter....

I also used to be a trans supporter.

Not anymore.

An organisation fighting to free gays and lesbians from the tyranny of trans rIghts?
I can’t see it catching on. Also imagine most mainstream media will refer to it as ‘anti-trans group’. Interesting to see how much funding it will attract.

The Janice Turner piece is good, as usual. She very succinctly writes about Stonewall's reinterpretation of the law - '"Stonewall Law"

An org to represent L, G and B people - those who no longer feel represented by Stonewall. LGBs who are happy with Stonewall can stay with it, those who are not now have their own org. Win/win, surely!
