I'm transsexual and I support LGB Alliance.

She is angry and it is raw - and has every right - 36,000 girls waiting to have their healthy breasts removed cos theyve been brainwashed - its a crime that is being played out before our eyes.

"There's a lot of things been attributed to Stonewall in the last half hour or so that are just simply not true..."

You...you realize that screenshots and archives exist, right Jan? Jan appears to have the critical thinking and listening capacity of a turnip.

In contrast to the LGB Alliance's searing reason and poise, her flailing is damning.

I know we've all been saying much of the same but what a great take, especially from a former member of Stonewall. It's so passionate and eloquent. Thank you for bringing this to us.

I listened to Kate and then ended up going back to the start and listening to the whole thing. Really interesting that the majority of speakers were critical of Stonewall which, I presume, reflects the view of the majority of those on the call. But how disingenuous of the Stonewall woman to repeat the misrepresentation that their critics don’t believe that trans people do (or should) exist? Hopefully the mendacity is becoming easier to spot.

So grateful to all the activists, but especially my Lesbian sisters who have been fighting such a lonely battle for years before the rest of us knew what was going on. So many women are in your debt. Bless you all and thank you.

It is interesting that Jan Gooding, in her response, mentioned the respect we have to have for trans people a number of times, but did not refer to the respect that we should have for women. She speaks like a politician. Her own agenda come first and don't under any circumstances, answer the questions. Trans people in this country are entitled to the same human rights as everyone else. No more, no less. But so are women and lesbian women. She doesn*t seem to understand to be trans, there need to be natal/biological. So transwomen cannot be women and transmen cannot be men. If they were, there is no need for GRC, GRA or the title "trans".

Powerful words and not a scrap of hatred in them.

Well said! Gender ideology is ruining the lives of young people, girls in particular, coerced into hating their female bodies and adopting the label ‘trans’ or ‘non-binary’. Stonewall and lgbt Scotland guidance for schools is awful. And teachers are afraid to question all this ideology for fear of not being ‘accepting’ or ‘woke’. So thankful for all the voices here and in every LGB alliance for speaking out 👊🏼

True she didn't get much time, but where was Jan (Gooding?)s answer to the question as to why Keira Bell got no support from Stonewall?. Can we expect it in a follow up message?

I found Jan's contribution to be rather disingenuous on the whole. And the TRA who spoke for about ten minutes focused almost entirely on themself.

I was heartened to hear so much criticism of Stonewall, but given Jan has no role there I doubt very much that it will change.

To answer the question posed in the session, gay people are very much better off without Stonewall. They have sold us down the river in favour of gender identity ideology and queer theory. It's time for them to go.

She's on fire. 🔥 I love it.

Really disappointing to hear Jan reinforce Stonewall’s entrenched position at the end. It’s clear that they don’t want debate; they want us to capitulate. And we won’t

Interesting at around 11:00 she claims organisations wanted to know how to comply with the (Equality) Act, how to go beyond the Act."

😐 I daresay they've indeed tried to go beyond it, much to the detriment of women and children.
