The @ChtyCommission could not really have done anything other than grant charitable status to LGB Alliance, b/c their critics had no case. But there were still worrying signs of ideological capture in the statement. The use of the phrase "gender they were assigned at birth" 1/3

the subjective comments about tweets that "may be regarded as inflammatory and offensive" & the vague threat (below) that their status could be removed were quite unfair. It& #39;s hard to know whether this was to placate critics or a snipe b/c they didn& #39;t want to register LGBA. 2/3

Overall it& #39;s great news. But the fact that the Charity Commission looked at the evidence and found in LGBA& #39;s favour, whilst unwittingly using the language of their ideological opponents, shows how deep the rot is. Somehow the ruling reads as begrudging.
