I see activists are already busily deploying their usual right wing smear tactic in a bizarre attempt to discredit the EHRC decision to distance itself from the car crash πŸ™„

Suddenly the Equality and Human Rights commission are a "bunch of Tory cronies" πŸ€“

They were allies this time last week now they're little more than Tory yes-men. What changed fellas?

Quite a journey for the EHRC: Trusted allies to Hitler fanboys in one weekend 😜

And all said with a straight face! πŸ˜„

I agree. There's been a tangible shift in gear since the Superstraight episode or rather the hostile and venomous reaction to it.

See also the proliferation of 'transbians'; a piss-take too far for even those of a liberal persuasion I would imagine πŸ˜‰

This is playing out like the scene from Monty Python's Holy Grail where the Knight has been fatally wounded but keeps hopping around saying "it's just a scratch".

I sometimes think of this scene when watching the TAs in action.

I sincerely hope Lesbian and Gay news do a huge expose article on that blatant branding rip off that Stonewall has implemented. I also hope it's picked up in professional design circles and discussed as to its illegitimacy. Then.... picked up by all the mainstream news outlets. It's a glaring case of 'wolf in sheep's clothing'! Also makes me think of all the fake environmental protection companies with names like 'Humans For Protection of Natural Resources' which actually dig for coal/oil etc. Utterly despicable and unbelievable they are allowed to get away with it!

They're running a massive Β£3 million protection racket. "Give us your lunch money or we'll say you're a bigot..." But the wheels are coming off.

What do you call a bandwagon with no wheels...? Not a joke, just thinking Stonewall will need another rebrand.

You're quite right, Ann. I've said all along that these clowns who play at being trans (Eddie Izzard, Sam Smith, Owen Hurcum et al) & claim to speak for the "community" are actually doing tremendous harm to genuine trans people. And, of course, LGB people. When the pendulum swings back, which it is, they'll be the ones to suffer.
