In a sign that the charity’s influence is waning, The Times understands NHS England has distanced itself from the organisation, cancelling conference tickets and a planned membership of the charity’s Diversity Champions Scheme.
An NHS spokesperson said: “After consideration, NHS England took the decision to not renew its membership with Stonewall last year.”

About fucking time

👌

Signed.

Oh good God I hope not. Bunch of charlatans.

Will take time but it will happen.

They can try. Over the last years our numbers have grown, we are getting stronger all the time and we are seasoned, we know the tricks. Cass Report was a game changer for the wider world and vindicated our views.

Cass Report changes everything.

My strong captured workplace has a meeting this week about potential dropping of stonewall which I never ever thought I'd see. The only problem is they don't see any alternative.

The chartered society of Physiotherapy are doubling down on rainbow think.

Someone was complaining on LinkedIn today that their consultancy work on trans “stuff” in schools and speaking engagements in corporates had basically dried up in the past 4 months.

Sooooo tempted to comment that I am glad their grift is up 😼

What does this mean? Why do they need an alternative?

I’m not a conspiracy theorist but when someone says it’s a Russian/ Chinese plot to spread conflicting info in an attempt to destabilise our society -it was all so crazy I sometimes think you know what, they could be right.

Why do they need an alternative? This is what I fail to understand the EqA is not difficult to understand, it is not akin to splitting the atom to treat employees well and fairly, it basic decency and common sense.

Exactly - they could just read the Equality Act.

Stonewall did not lead that campaign and were pretty late backing it

Stonewall, Britain's largest gay-rights campaigning group, is in the grip of a deepening row – involving such prominent activists as Sir Ian McKellen – over accusations that the group is failing to back a campaign for same-sex marriages.

Although many members of the LGBT human rights group OutRage! shared the feminist critique of marriage, the activist group had been lobbying for marriage equality since 1992, on the grounds that the ban was a form of homophobic discrimination. In 2010, it joined forces with other organisations to form the Equal Love campaign, which sought to end the twin legal bans on same-sex civil marriages and opposite-sex civil partnerships.
Stonewall repeatedly briefed against OutRage! and Equal Love; making bogus claims about the cost of equal marriage. Has anyone ever heard another LGBT organisation reduce equality to a financial calculation? Equal rights is a human rights principle – not something that can be embraced or rejected, depending on the cost.
Stonewall’s unwillingness to support the equal marriage campaign was quoted by homophobes to justify their opposition to same-sex marriage. The anti-gays gloated: “Even Stonewall doesn’t support gays getting married.”

That's very positive. Nobody should be selling trans stuff to schools - that's at the root of many of the problems children and young people face.
