Dozens of media outlets carry the same statement that "High Court Judge" Mr Justice Choudhury said my views "may well be profoundly offensive and even distressing"
.... but he doesn't say that in the judgment at all.
The closest thing he says is this, on page 55.
This is what he says about my beliefs on page 1
While it is often said that gender critical movement is well-funded etc, w shady powerful backers this is not true.
I am one woman who has been working as hard as i can over the past couple of days (with the help of @LauraBerrillPR🙏) to get my case covered by the media
Whoever has been placing the phrase about "profoundly offensive and even distressing" views and downplaying "widely shared"
... into the media it doesn't appear to come from CGD's press release or from mine. cgdev.org/article/cgd-st…
So I wonder who has been spinning it?

The purpose of the Freedom of Information Act is to keep information about our relationship with public bodies that could cause reputational damage out of the public domain
The purpose of the Charities Act is to allow people to organise together for the public good.
We get to define what the public good is.
Disagreement with us is not in the public good
The purpose of the Equality Act 2010 is to support "our community".
The EHRC should not intervene to support other people's rights.
You can quote from Bev Jackson's excellent speech at @LabWomenDec Stonewall and co see as the kind of thing that should get you ousted from your job and from the public debate
Some thoughts on Stonewall's rebrand and strategy.
Erm.... does anyone else think that the rebrand is an 'up yours' to EHRC??
They went from LGB to LGBT in 2015 .... now adding "queer, questioning and ace" (asexual .... a spectrum which includes "demisexual", which means heterosexual who experiences sexual attraction based on emotional connection with a person...)
This is likely to mean that lesbian and gay men are a minority in the LGBTQ+ movement.
The government's LGBT survey (not a representative survey, but still interesting) suggests this is already the case amongst 16-24 year olds
