RCP have messaged members to say they are not renewing their contract with Stonewall

'...we are acutely aware that there is a risk of being affiliated with an organisation that may speak on matters relating to the professional practise of our members, but over which the College has no direct control'

Note that the actions for the future are mostly related to T/TQ.

Thank you to the EDI Jester for righteously holding them to account.

Yes. That really is all that 'LGBT+' and 'EDI' and 'inclusivity' mean now, isn't it?

It's welcome. However, it remains to be seen if they pull a BBC and go to Global Butterflies (or whatever it is) in which case there will not have been a sea change.

NB: from the child psychiatrists who are in thrall, as far as I can tell, this has changed nothing for them in their adherence to the ideology.

It's clear that although they know it's prudent to show that they've given Stonewall the boot, they've absorbed the lessons from Stonewall well enough that they know what has to come first.

OMG 😂😂😂

I had forgotten about the jester. I read the full letter and thought the same thing, just not as good as he as articulating it.

Its a bit like dumping your lover innit.

Sloooooow withdrawal, no admissions, its not you it’s me……sorry.

Can we just be friends.

Sorry you’re just someone I used to know.

Erm who? I don't remember them.

Gosh really, I must have lost my mind.

This is a slow tidal retreat - worth watching, more to come methinks.

I'd be interested to know the 20% of Stonewall targets the College felt did not align with their values.

The Court of the EDIJester's reaction. Think he might be a wee bit pleased😂

I'm less impressed with this than some of you. There is nothing amusing about the names Raj and Lade. When this middle-aged white man started mocking those names, I switched off. Lade is the short form of Shubulade, a Nigerian name, and it's pronounced Lah-day. Dr Shubulade Smith is currently the President of the RCP. She is the first black President. Not sure how many women they've elected to that position before, but probably not many. Full disclosure (who needs anonymity anyway?) a good few years ago I worked very closely with Lade and I think she's great. She has risen to where she is now by sheer unmitigated hard work and talent. She has had a big focus throughout her career on trying to improve outcomes for people from ethnic minorities. She has been passionate about trying to get decent general medical care for people who happen to have a mental health issue. So often their physical health needs are overlooked. And so on. I hope a lot of the credit for this sensible decision to withdraw from Stonewall is down to her.
