We're furious and heartbroken in equal measure that Stonewall no longer defends lesbian rights. There's been no campaign against Stonewall, just more and more people realising that they're a captured organisation in thrall to gender identity extremism. Good for UCL.
Stonewall is Britain's largest LGBTQ+ organisation, having spent 30+ years defending the rights of LGBTQ+ people.
But the disgraceful campaign against
@StonewallUK
has resulted in moves like this, with UCL management overriding its own equalities committee to cut ties. Shameful.

For Lesbians Queer is an insult, a slur, an abusive term commonly used a few decades ago to describe homosexual women & men. It dropped out of use as we became more tolerated & accepted. Queer is now used by heteros who want a bit of ‘me me’ dust & young homos who want to be cool

Lesbians must have the right to organise spaces which do not include men. No man can be a lesbian regardless of how he presents.

Those who are today gloating about the ruling in Giggle v Tickle have no idea of the tsunami of rage that is building among women around the world, and which will end with self-ID laws being struck down in every country that has so thoughtlessly adopted them.

In case you missed it at the time, this speech by Miriam Cates MP on the promotion of gender identity ideology in schools is well worth a listen. This relatively new ideology has become an unchallengeable orthodoxy in schools - and young lesbians are among its victims.
This is an excellent speech from Miriam Cates MP and you can read the whole thing in Hansard (scroll down to 5:58pm):

No, Maggie, reform isn't about safeguarding trans people's rights at the expense of women.
@scotgov
reneged on its commitment to publish the responses to the consultation. Presumably too many questions they couldn't answer and too much evidence they didn't want to engage with.
This is outrageous. It's deeply concerning to see EHRC frame the need for Gender Recognition law reform in this way. 2 consultations have been run. Many people responded to these, including "gender critical" people. Reform is about safeguarding trans people's rights & wellbeing!

Can we now say that Scottish Schools have a mission to reduce the possible number of Lesbians and Gay Men in the future by encouraging children, who are questioning their sexual orientation, to opt for the falsehood that it’s possible to change your sex. Well shame on them!!
A really shocking report on Scottish schools from
@ForWomenScot
.
"At least 95.4 per cent are operating gender self-ID policies, meaning schools consider the gender of the child to be whatever they declare it to be."

Great answer from

to that old chestnut question, "Isn't the panic about transwomen a rehash of 80s homophobia". No, it's not.
Professor Jo Phoenix, who resigned following abuse over her transgender views, says "the discussion contemporarily is a failure to recognise where safeguarding policies for women and children came from."

Today in Australia - a sick country that hates women. Lesbians have already lost the right to have their own spaces without men present, the rest of womankind has just caught up.
Today’s judgement in Giggle v Tickle confirms that women in Australia have no legal rights to single-sex spaces and services.
The Sex Discrimination Act which is supposed to protect women and girls is now a tool to punish women trying to offer female-only spaces.
