STONEWALL REVERSE FERRET INCOMING

[Taytoface]

So, it looks like their income tanking might have finally made them see that trans rights is not quite the gravy train they thought it was. They are now pivoting to getting compensation for gay veterans who were badly treated. And apparently JKR is a wonderful lady, just needs to be a wee bit more kind.

Thanks for this. Let it be the first of many!

The University of Sussex (who were at least partly influenced by Stonewall as well as a policy used verbatim at a number of Universities) weren't best pleased at being held to account -

That page is nearly five years old. It may be the first of many, but if so the others are running a bit late.

Hadn't noticed the date! Thanks. Disappointing, but perhaps more will come through now. More likely, Stonewall will eventually just wither and fade away. One can hope.

Kezia issues hostage note.

'From Kezia Dugdale, incoming Chair of Stonewall:

In my first interview as incoming Chair of Stonewall, I was asked a question about JK Rowling. In answering, I should have been absolutely unequivocal that I would never condone behaviour from anyone that seeks to or causes harm to anyone in our community. That is a red line for me and should be for all of us. I understand the interview has caused worry, anger and upset and I am truly sorry about that.'

Oh, I'm sure the trans activists won't mind, Kezia! They're famously tolerant and kind.

Well, it’s a good thing we never took her seriously.

Purity spiral punishment.

It's going down predictably well:

"There's imperfect allyship and there's praising the most famous and arguably most dangerous transphobe in the world in highest tones."

She's going to be the final nail in the coffin of Stonewall. 😂

There won't be anything for her to be a Chair of in September. 🤣🤣🤣🤣

We can live in hope!!

Oh dearie me.

TRA never stop proving over and over again that there is no compromise allowed, only total capitulation and obedience is allowed

Clearly someone got to her in the interim. You're not allowed to say the truth, Kezia! That's Stonewall 101.

As PP had predicted, I think either Stonewall on its way out, or, more likely, Kezia won't last long.

Not an auspicious start. What a mess they have all made of what had once been a useful organisation, back in the day.

But it's not a cult though, mustn't call it a cult.

And that's gone straight in at number three on this week's hit chart of Bad Political Apologies That Make What's Going On Behind The Scenes More Obvious Than Hell. And it's been a busy week!

What do you call a reversed, reverse ferret?

A boomerang ferret perhaps?

I'm quite sure Kezia really didn't know what she was getting herself into. Nothing she says will ever be enough, but I suppose she'll find that out when she's either browbeaten until she's a blubbering wreck or cancelled completely. (not that I care either way!)

I'll give it a week before she steps down from the role before starting.

😂 😂

😂😂
They have no clue how they come over do they? As Arabella states - it's a bloody hostage note.

How many people new to a senior role have to issue grovelling apologies becuase they made a nuanced positive comment about a woman.

Intimidation, bullying and coercive control runs though this ideology like a stick of rock. No discussion, no olive branches, no attempts at compromise, no meeting of minds.

And obviously Ayla is a man.

This doesn’t bode well for Stonewall’s newly rediscovered enthusiasm for issues specific to LGB.

Absolutely wonderful. 😂

What do they want her to do? Will sackcloth and ashes be enough, or do they need actual blood sacrifices?

You dread to think what they'll demand she does in recompense for her sins.

Every day there's more and more evidence of the extreme destructiveness of this ideology.

Well, if it peaks Kezia Dugdale, then perhaps it'll be worth it! Once more unto the breach!

Oh dear Kezia. You'll not be forgiven by the TRAs for this no matter how much you grovel.
