This, from a group who actively campaigned to remove women's legal rights, is gaslighting.
It's like Trump offering a bootcamp on Covid prevention.
It will be interesting to see how they are defining women and who they actually want to protect. https://twitter.com/stonewalluk/status/1313070293234184192

We hope that @stellacreasy and @SusannahFish will challenge @stonewalluk on some of the following:
In 2019, Stonewall deliberately misrepresented and manipulated comments by survivors of abuse to forward their agenda of removing single-sex services. https://fovas.wordpress.com/response-to-stonewall-2/

Many of the women in the @FOVAS4 report are suffering PTSD. They took deep exception to Stonewall's assertion that they could be "educated" out of their trauma.
Stonewall ignored the sex-based dynamics of domestic abuse to pretend males did not pose a physical threat.

This, of course, is part of long term plan to remove women's right to single-sex services and spaces.
Some of these exceptions serve to redress historic inequality, some are necessary for women's healthcare services & research which have long been ignored https://womansplaceuk.org/references-to-removal-of-single-sex-exemptions/

Allies of Stonewall at Scottish Trans wrote Scottish Prison Service guidance which saw male bodied murderers moved into female estate. The SPS was able to block move of worst offenders but @HotchkissRhona fears it would be impossible under self ID

This is the system Stonewall recommend, a system in "best practice" Ireland which has seen homicidal abusers locked up with the most vulnerable women in society.
Ruth Hunt's response to concerns like this was “Men are always going to rape women." https://twitter.com/STILLTish/status/1311298421534400512?s=20

World Rugby undertook massive consultation & research on allowing male bodied people (even with lowered T) to play rugby against women. The science said it would lead to massively increased risk to women.
Stonewall preferred to recklessly endanger women https://www.rt.com/sport/498735-stonewall-uk-trans-rugby-backlash/

Stonewall also said they would campaign to remove the law of rape by deception as they felt it discriminates against trans people.
No woman should be compelled to have sex with someone she does not want to. This is gaslighting and rape culture. https://www.gscene.com/news/trans-people-face-rape-charges-unless-they-declare-their-gender-history/

In 2018, Stonewall used some of its lottery grant to employ Morgan Page, a transwoman who hosted the infamous "overcoming the cotton ceiling" workshop.
This explored ways to coerce reluctant lesbians into sex with people with penises. Again, rape culture. https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/lottery-thousands-pay-for-former-trans-stripper-to-sway-public-opinion-6lw9xbwgr

When Allison Bailey, a black, lesbian, wc woman co-founded @ALLIANCELGB, Stonewall attempted to intimidate her, sending a disingenuous complaint to her chambers which resulted in her being investigated. https://womansplaceuk.org/2020/06/27/i-am-suing-stonewall-stop-policing-free-speech/
Also on the rugby story: Here is the Stonewall head of comms and campaigns "smiling" about a story on a bio male rugby player in the women's game who "folded opponents like deck chairs" and had already broken a woman's foot. https://twitter.com/robbieds/status/1164514346623520769?s=20
As organisation which says it wants to end misogyny can't even be bothered to mention the women it is supposed to represent.
Lesbians are supposed to be part of Stonewall's remit. https://twitter.com/LouiseWluddite/status/1313759948267048960?s=20

Stonewall are not keen on lesbians who assert their rights. Two years ago, they condemned lesbian protesters at Pride who were sickened by the "Cotton ceiling" culture, saying they had "no place at Pride". https://www.newstatesman.com/politics/feminism/2018/07/why-were-lesbians-protesting-pride-because-lgbt-coalition-leaves-women
Stonewall's idea of a lesbian is Alex Drummond who has a beard and a penis but "brings out the inner lesbian in women".
This used to be a nasty, sexist joke in men's clubs. Stonewall put Alex on their advisory board.

Colin MacFarlane of Stonewall Scotland regularly attacks women and women's orgs. He has consistently refused to acknowledge that women are at risk because of sex-based violence. https://twitter.com/JoanMcAlpine/status/1156259572195180544?s=20
