I cannot begin to properly express how furious I am about Ruth Hunt’s attempt to re-write the KEY part she played in all of this. If anything, her time at Stonewall was ground zero for all this. It was Stonewall that started this and she was firmly in the driving seat.
I have had the absolute misfortune of having had to deal with her. She and her partner run an equality and diversity type programme that somewhere I used to work brought them in to run. She met her partner when the two of them oversaw the change at Stonewall from a gay rights group to a trans rights group. About half their staff left because of it.
Some of our staff, including me, left our org after the work Ruth and her partner did. Not content with spreading their dangerous bullshit at Stonewall they did it at my old workplace too. I say we left, but actually it was made very clear that anyone not toeing the party line would be pushed out, so we jumped before we were pushed.
Before this article, I at least thought she believed her utter nonsense, but watching her lie and obfuscate about the part she played fills me with contempt for her. Her utter lack of integrity is astonishing.
