Is Stonewall's Diversity Champions scheme fit for purpose? This article highlights what has gone so badly, and sadly, wrong. The issues raised are at the heart of the case being brought by @BluskyeAllison against @stonewalluk. We support Allison in her fight for justice. /1 
Diversity Champions scheme was designed to help organisations become better workplaces for all. Its original purpose has completely changed. Tragically, it is now used to promote @stonewalluk's incorrect interpretation of the Equality Act. /2
In replacing sex with "gender" Stonewall seeks to remove sex protected spaces. And in promoting their narrow world view revolving around "gender identity", they undermine LGB rights & call any disagreement with their strict orthodoxy "transphobic". /3
Vast sums of money from public funds are being spent on what is essentially indoctrination. This government has pledged to encourage a plurality of views. Stonewall has consistently refused to listen to any alternative points of view – advising that there can be “no debate”. /4
It is surely time for the government to stop funding one extremist point of view and to engage with LGB and women’s groups that encourage open fact-based dialogue. /5
We call on governments in Scotland, Wales and at Westminster to ask Stonewall questions. How can any government work with a lobby group whose views may not be challenged? /6
It is sad to see a once great organisation fighting for credibility and respect. It may not be too late for Stonewall. All that needs to happen is a recognition that the current direction is regressive and damaging. /7
Stonewall had a glorious history until 2015, fighting for LGB rights. We encourage all those who are still welcome at Stonewall to push for some serious soul searching. #SexNotGender #FactsMatter /8
