Interview w Nancy Kelley - new Stonewall CEO in the Observer (before lunchtime on Sat: what could have prompted that? 🤔)

Still the same line on self ID though.
"The current process is extremely intrusive, incredibly bureaucratic, stressful and dehumanising"

Is it? Really?
If you were thinking of taking the extraordinary step of trying live as if you were a member of the opposite sex is having a psychological assessment really intrusive and dehumanising?

Nancy quotes the research from Nancy's time at Natcen
It is an awful survey
Here is a better one.
We know that less than 1 in 5 people are say that a person with a male body is welcome in women's changing rooms based on gender identity.
This is not "transphobia"

Kelly signalling a change of tone. wanting to "reach a broad consensus".
But still thinking that Stonewall can dictate what that consensus is : that self ID is just an "administrative change that does not affect anybody apart from trans people"
This is disingenuous.

From "no debate" to "there's lots of debate", but its academic and very interesting....
No.
It is about women's lives. Women's rights. Prisons. Refuges. Freedom of association. Safeguarding. Inclusion. Harassment at work. Bodily privacy in everyday life. Freedom of speech.

Can Stonewall find its way back to being a human rights organisation?..... we'll see.
