in return, Stonewall helps the organisations create more inclusive working environments for LGBTQ employees, such as giving advice on inclusive toilets and changing room facilities.
Pretty sure the LGBQ employees would not find those things particularly important. Lobby for T, ignore the rest, but keep them in your acronym to show you’re inclusive. Guess that’s where the LGB Alliance went wrong. Their acronym is too honest.
“I've worked for the BBC for over 20 years, and I've never known a worse time to be LGBT+ at the BBC,” they said. “There is deeply engrained institutional transphobia at the heart of the BBC,”
How odd. What were the figures again? Wasn’t it shown a couple of years ago that people claiming to be trans made up 2% of all employees, 4% of management? Higher than the estimated number of trans people in the wider population certainly. It’s a real head scratcher why so many of them want to work somewhere where they’re so persecuted.
Another BBC employee who was involved in the BBC’s Pride network, said: “The BBC needs to focus on the bigger picture, rather than fiddling around the edges on things that the audience won’t care about.”
Actually, when they find out what’s happening, the public care deeply about this, which is why the wheels are starting to fall off.
“LGBT rights are already enshrined in law, so aligning with an LGBT charity shouldn’t really affect impartiality.”
LG rights are indeed enshrined in law. In the name of transactivism however, Stonewall are lobbying for men to be able to change their legal sex to female by the minimally significant act of signing a declaration. It’s hard to say that lobbying to remove women’s rights is particularly impartial.
No wonder these people super-scared. They’re bumbling about in supreme ignorance about the entire topic. Stonewall appear to have done little more than to spread disinformation and fear amongst its followers. Perhaps if Stonewall is removed from the equation, some kind of reality can be restored and all these terrified people can learn to relax.
