Some thoughts on @Emmabarnett's landmark interview of @Nancy_M_K. Thread.
First, thanks Nancy. Your appearance marks a step-change in Stonewall's no-debate position. The insistence on no-debate has produced a harmful, toxic climate. Let's hope it's consigned to the bin now.

When pressed, @Nancy_M_K admits humans can't change sex but also maintains that transwomen are literally women. The implication is that sex has been abandoned as the marker of the categories 'men' and 'women' and has no political relevance. How many people realise that?
There's an admission that people can hold GC views, but @Nancy_M_K says that the expression of such views as principles is harmful - GC views should only be expressed when framed as personal, irrational fears, and in the context of being vulnerable and needy.
Everyone who's criticising #PrinceHarry about his "unconscious bias" (UB) quotes should sit down and listen to people who have been directly impacted by UB to their lives.
You'll NEVER understand it if it's not affected you.
Take the time to listen, not judge.

Young people today from minority groups will get ahead much further than those before them literally because people like #PrinceHarry are speaking up.
When white males get on board and understand Unconscious Bias, things change. We need EVERYONE to "get it".

Years ago when I worked in music TV, because of my background and race, my colleagues were determined to label me "hip hop girl"even tho I loved classical & more.
In the end after years of working across ALL music I was formally placed in black music. It was "embrace it or P45"
