Sir John Hayes, a former Cabinet Office minister told the S. Telegraph that it is odd that the Government had given Stonewall a whip hand in organising the Safe To Be Me conference in June - the largest event of its kind, with worldwide policymakers gathering to tackle discrimination and promote legislative reform and equal rights.

Sir John said that it was odd that not withstanding its understandable purpose it is being dictated by the very people that much of the homosexual community no longer believes is working their interests.

Eighteen officials across three government departments are planning the event, headed by Liz Truss, who has called for Whitehall to cut ties with Stonewall's diversity training.

Kate Harris, co-founder of LGB Alliance said it appeared that "only those who promote gender identity ideology are involved in conference planning".

The S. Telegraph also has a feature by Zoe Strimpnel headed "Left-wingers used to champion women - now they appear to have abandoned them"

www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2022/03/26/inconvenient-truth-cannot-roll-play-dead-existence-women/

She said it was not at all surprising that women have been abandoned by the left. "After all, the Left has a long history of misogyny: in 1970 the women's liberation movement burst out of the frustration of socialist women tired of being treated as third-class citizens, there mainly to serve tea, provide sexual favours and have their ideas pinched by their beardy comrades."

As a second wave feminist I can attest to the truth of that - as indeed did Doris Lessing in her biography.

It's not on for the government to palm this off to SW and the Kaleidoscope mob. There has to be accountability and someone needs to be responsible for it.

Kaleidoscope have taken an interest in CEDAW:

And they retweeted this:

"Looking forward to this tomorrow!

Come join me and some fantastic colleagues and friends from
@Kaleidoscope_T
to figure out how we can use #CEDAW to advance SOGIESC rights, and create rights-affirming change within the human rights ecosystem for queer communities."

SOGIESC = sexual orientation, gender identity and expression, and sex characteristics, IIRC.

This feels like forced teaming. Use of CEDAW for the Q smacks of a Trojan horse. The more there is to see, the more it raises 🚩

I HATE that I'm worried about Labour winning. Hate it.

I know. I'm the same and it really upsets me.

I'm putting together a letter to my MP now. We must try to get this conference cancelled - there is still time. A load of backbench MPs asking WHY the gvmt is paying Stonewall for this daft conference should do it.

Why can't they have a Women's Safety Conference instead? They could call it 'Safe to be Women'.

Why are they holding this conference at all? Especially in the wake of the Cass report.

I could do with some suggestions for content of my letter, so any help would be much appreciated. Perhaps we can put together a template for general use??
