In common with every UK-based organisation we know that has publicly supported trans people, Stop Funding Hate has faced abuse & harassment in response to our work challenging media transphobia. 1/ stopfundinghate.info/2018/09/28/sto…
But the point of Stop Funding Hate is to challenge all forms of hate, and stand in solidarity with everyone facing marginalisation & discrimination, even when this generates a significant backlash. /2 #WeStandTogetherstopfundinghate.info/2018/09/28/sto…
At a time when some UK organisations have been wavering in the face of a sustained “anti woke” backlash, we think it is more important than ever for #StopFundingHate to stand in solidarity with our trans supporters & the wider trans community /3 stopfundinghate.info/2018/09/28/sto…
The Mail on Sunday are airing demands for trans athletes to be forced to "compete in a separate category" & claim to have "led the way" on this. Do @MarksandSpencer@Tesco & @British_Airways endorse the Mail's call for trans exclusion or will they distance themselves from it?

Congratulations to @Grind for doing the right thing. Sadly they're now getting a hateful pile-on from Twitter accounts with long numbers in their name... Let's show that love is stronger than hate! #StartSpreadingLove
GB News might not like it - but companies are free to choose where they do & don't advertise, and customers are free to speak out & seek to influence those advertising choices...
Well done to @Grind for choosing love over hate 👏👏👏
Today's Daily Mail is ramping up the anti-woke paranoia with some strikingly violent imagery. Is this really what @sainsburys@LloydsBank & @LidlGB want to align themselves with?

Together we can push back against toxic & inflammatory media coverage - here's how:
Amid rising transphobia in our media and vitriolic attacks against trans human rights defenders, it's vital to speak out & oppose all forms of identity-based hate within our public discourse: stopfundinghate.info/2018/09/28/sto…
In a recent BBC interview, the GB News CEO again lashed out at #StopFundingHate supporters, and suggested that "a lot" of the channel's struggle to attract advertisers "comes down to groups such as Stop Funding Hate" /1
The GB News CEO has complained to the Telegraph that "Stop Funding Hate played a really central role in positioning us as a ‘hate’ outfit".
According to the Telegraph "countering the threat from Stop Funding Hate (SFH) has been a constant worry" 2/ msn.com/en-gb/entertai…
Yet while #StopFundingHate supporters have played a significant role, it's vital to acknowledge that many others have also been raising serious concerns about GB News & the content it has been pushing /3 theguardian.com/media/2023/feb…
In 2018, @StopFundingHate produced this video highlighting the human impact of transphobic media.
The vitriolic trolling from anti-trans networks that we received in response only confirmed for us how extreme the situation had become 1/
#StopFundingHate is committed to challenging all forms of hate, and we're proud that our supporter community includes people from across UK society. Trans people have been an active part of #StopFundingHate from the earliest days of our campaign. /2 stopfundinghate.info/2018/09/28/sto…
The orchestrated nature of anti-trans demonisation has been shocking to witness - but time and again we've seen that when enough of us stand together and refuse to be divided, it is possible to push back /3 splcenter.org/hatewatch/2017…
