Open Letter to Stonewall
Dear Ruth Hunt,
Remove the L from LGBT
We demand that Stonewall removes lesbians from the list of groups you claim to represent as a national LGBT organisation. Since its foundation, Stonewall has rarely represented our interests.
Now, in your single-minded campaign to promote the trans political and ideological agenda, you not only fail to represent us, but ...
Lesbian Rights Alliance
Defending Lesbian Rights
The Lesbian (Rights) Alliance consists of many individual lesbians, lesbian groups and lesbian networks across England and Wales.
Lesbian Equality and Human Rights are under attack from the Transgender Political Lobby.
Since lesbian rights are not being defended by LGBT organisations, we have set up this alliance to defend our rights to:

Lesbians Accused Of Hate Crimes For Objecting To Transgenderism At London Pride Festival
If lesbians marching in an LGBT Pride parade can be viewed as a dangerous threat requiring denunciation from authorities, what chance is there to have an honest conversation?
London Mayor Sadiq Khan condemned an “anti-transgender group” for “hijacking” the July 7 London Pride parade. The mayor’s spokesperson told Pink News UK, “Pride is about celebrating difference ...
Lesbian Pride, Lesbian Protest
by Jo Bartosch
Yesterday I counted the women on the 2018 Pride in London website, the actual women — not the diva drag queens. In a tableau of thirteen images, there was one with some women volunteers, that’s a worse male to female ratio than the House of Lords. Pride is no more than corporate willy-waving; a chance ...
This gender battle is harder to solve than Brexit
Janice Turner
Long-promised consultation on trans rights will show how fierce the arguments are and how vulnerable both sides feel
If Brexit is the most divisive issue in British politics, requiring a talent for squaring ideological circles and cajoling compromises from bitter enemies, reform of the 2004 Gender Recognition Act (GRA) runs it a close second. The ...
Twitter ‘bans women against trans ideology’, say feminists
Twitter is banning women who "speak out against the dangerous dogma of trans ideology", a feminist group has said.
In a letter to Twitter director Martha Lane Fox, Fair Play for Women says the company is allowing "a concerted attack on women's free speech".
But trans activist Ashleigh Talbot said the group's letter seeks to "whip up" ...
Transgenderism and Lesbian Erasure
What are the implications and consequences of transgenderism for lesbians?
The acronym ‘LGBT’ suggests a common interest between lesbians and those identifying as transgender, but is this really the case? Recent developments such as the dramatic rise in young women presenting at Gender Identity Clinics, the erasure of women-only spaces and the pressure on lesbians to ...
Transgender activists and the real war on women
A dispatch from the new front line in free speech
by Judith Green
How hard is it for women to talk freely about sex, gender and the law? Not very, I used to think. I’d heard about a few no-platforming incidents on campuses, where speakers including Germaine Greer were blocked from appearing because of their views. ...
Even a party for women won’t take on trans lobby
By Janice Turner
On Tuesday I attended a meeting on the Gender Recognition Act by a group called A Woman’s Place. The venue wasn’t announced until that morning as trans activists had disrupted previous events. But 400 women turned up on an Arctic night, galvanised by moves to allow men who self-identify as women into female ...
Most children and teens with gender dysphoria also have multiple other psychological issues
By Alex Fradera
New research on gender identity disorder (also known as gender dysphoria, in which a person does not identify with their biological sex) questions how best to handle the condition when it arises in children and adolescents. Should biological treatments be used as early as possible to help a young client transition, or is caution ...

Ma Vie En Rose: Ruth Hunt’s Rose-Tinted Trans*Goggles and the anti-Woman Politics of Stonewall
by Miranda Yardley
I first spoke with Stonewall’s Ruth Hunt just over three years ago when the organisation announced it would be engaging with the transgender community. This resulted in the forming of the Stonewall Trans Advisory Group, you know that motley crew of transgender tyrants, including the self-styled (styled as if it were 1973) answer ...
Gender identity: What do legal changes have to do with women’s rights?
Trans activists have welcomed moves from the government to "streamline and de-medicalise the process" of changing legal gender. But some women are worried about the potential impact on their own legal rights.
Today, anyone who wants to legally change their gender in the UK has to apply for a Gender Recognition Certificate (GRC). Many don't though, ...
