A day of action throughout the UK asking private and public institutions to leave the Stonewall Diversity Scheme

About this event

A National day of action calling on public bodies to #ComeOutOfStonewall

This is a protest led by gays, bisexuals, lesbians and women. We call on all institutions who are still members of their diversity scheme to #LeaveStonewalll.

They are misleading private and governmental organisations about the Equality Act.

They are pushing policies which discriminate against women and harm lesbian, gay, bisexual and autistic children

Their #NoDebate tactics are anti-democratic and have had a 'chilling effect' on freedom of speech

They are promoting a world view which is anti-science and denies the basics of human biology.

This event is open to all, but we especially welcome the participation of women, lesbians, gays and bisexuals. If you would like to make a sign or prepare a speech please do. Dinosaurs also welcome!

Events are happening throughout the UK, in London and elsewhere. More details to follow.

If you are unable to attend the protest, you can take action from your sofa. You can use this resource to write to organisations who are still members of Stonewalls Diversity Champion Scheme, sharing your concerns and asking them to #ComeOutOfStonewall sex-matters.org/posts/updates/leave-stonewall/

Does anyone know if there will be spare signs in London for people who haven't been able to make one?

@LonginesPrime

Does anyone know if there will be spare signs in London for people who haven't been able to make one?
I think so. They said there would be some placards available. If you can get there just before it starts, I'm assuming you can grab one for yourself.

There’s too many organisations to write personally to all of them so I thought I’d focus on the charities today (in the voluntary section on this list sex-matters.org/stonewall-champions-list/ ) and write to the board of trustees rather than their general contact us info.

My instinct is that a physical letter would get more attention but unsure?

Let's keep this thread alive today. I've emailed the first of my chosen organisations that have not yet left Stonewall. See here for the full list. Just going to select my next! An email is better than a letter that you don't send - I just used the 'contact us' part of a website.

Anyone else overwhelmed at how Stonewall has got so many institutions by the scruff of the neck? I mean, MI5 even! 🤯

I feel quite flattened.

Edinburgh protest 1:30 Waverley Court which is the old GPO building opposite Wellington Statue. Hope to see a lot of us there. 💚🤍💜

LonginesPrime · 22/10/2021 10:34

Thanks NonnyMouse - that's helpful to know!

MildredsMussaurus · 22/10/2021 10:53

I can't make it to a protest but have emailed my old university.

On my way

NabiHunter · 22/10/2021 11:58

I am emailing Herts for Learning, but the template letter is out of date so not really any use. They are also not the on list on Sex Matters, but I feel educational bodies are important ones to approach.

DraintheBlood · 22/10/2021 12:54

Can anyone tell me which part of the nhs have been stonewalled into writing the gender dysphoria up with ‘assigned at birth’ in the definition?

That maybe sounds like a stupid question, but I don’t know how to quickly figure out if these stonewall definitions are written by tavi or who, if that makes sense.

& I’d like to email them today because my kids school are relying on the nhs definition as an excuse for not following d of e guidance about medically factual information and evidence based facts.

Tia if anyone knows.

Thoroughly enjoyed my time as a big dinosaur, stumbling around half blind outside Scotland Yard!

BigGreenOlives · 22/10/2021 15:22

Thanks to all those who have been active, I missed all the run up. Greatly appreciated.

Working my way through one of the subsections in Sex Matters Stonewall Champions list sex-matters.org/stonewall-champions-list/ but ensuring I send a personalised message takes time. I think this is going to have to go on my one item a day list to contact at least one of the organisations every day.
