We have to talk about Stonewall.

sex-matters.org/posts/the-lega…
From our live notes of the evidence of the Allison Bailey v Stonewall Equality Limited and Garden Court Chambers Case – cross-examination of Kirrin Medcalf, 10th May 2022

sex-matters.org/posts/updates/…
The Stonewall scheme is an authoritarian system of thought control that actively undermines the freedom of expression and self-determination of anyone whose beliefs differ from Stonewall’s, including lesbian, gay, bisexual and transsexual employees.

sex-matters.org/posts/updates/…
Many public, private and voluntary sector organisations are reconsidering their membership of Stonewall Diversity Champions and Workplace Equality Index, after criticism that the organisation’s advice undermines compliance with the Equality Act 2010.

Last year, we sent a letter to the CEOs of the 850 organisations that were then members of the Stonewall Diversity Champions Scheme.

Is it time to #LeaveStonewall?

Stonewall as a lobby group has been paid by government bodies to lobby public institutions, with public bodies first signing a “gagging clause” that they will not give out any information about that lobbying as it is commercially sensitive.

Nadhim Zahawi responds to our research.

Single sex services must be a priority.

Last year we asked @Moreincommon_ @LukeTryl @BurnsConleth to look at the gender wars and find out what ordinary people think
They did that and are publishing their report today

Here is our response:

sex-matters.org/posts/updates/…
26% of Britons say they strongly agree “trans women are women, trans men are men”. 20% somewhat agree, 22% don’t know, 12% somewhat disagree and 18% strongly disagree.

More in Common asked the question vaguely, and it seems like what most people interpreted was "post op"

GRA no longer fit for purpose. outdated reliance on diagnosis of gender dysphoria.

Urgent to replace with human rights & non binary recognition

The new @EHRC guidance on separate and single-sex services is out!
We think it is a positive and welcome step in the right direction. Thank you @EHRCChair and @Marcial_Boo

1) It clarifies that “sex” (as understood in the Equality Act 2010) is binary, and that a person’s legal sex is their biological sex as recorded on their birth certificate.
2) It says that a gender recognition certificate is not relevant to decision-making about access to single-sex services.

Has being part of Stonewall’s Diversity Champions programme - which is supposed to be about ‘inclusive workplace culture’ only - influenced the BBC’s output & style guide?
It would appear so:
thetimes.co.uk/article/staff-…
“One of the big unanswered questions so far in this podcast is has Stonewall had an influence over the BBC’s editorial?”

#NolanInvestigatesStonewall explores this in Episode ten:
bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/p0…
‘We asked the BBC to explain to us how Stonewall’s position of having multiple genders in society had suddenly become the language of the BBC’s Education Department. They did not answer the specific questions.’
