Ever the optimist, that a post-Stonewall world may be on the horizon, I want to get on record the role the current CEO has played in besmirching the reputation of this, once great, organisation. I will begin with her interview, from two years ago, with Linda Riley of Diva Magazine.
You can watch the interview here:
For those of you unaware, Riley has somewhat of a reputation herself, as covered by Private Eye. Riley has other financial interests, apart from Diva Magazine, including a museum dedicated to the memory of an infamous serial killer. She has a web of companies; one of which went into liquidation following a large tax bill. None of these revelations concerned Dawn Butler, Labour MP; who appointed Riley as an LGBTQ advisor.
The interview took place four weeks into Kelley’s tenure, as CEO of Stonewall. Riley selected questions, put to her from Diva readers.
One of the earlier questions probed whether Kelley had intended criticism of her predecessor, Ruth Hunt, in a Guardian interview. She had stated Stonewall would no longer insist everyone need agree with their stance on “trans” rights. I am confident that this 👇 was the interview in question comment Riley singles one comment for scrutiny : 👇
Guardian interview with Ms Kelley
Kelley is keen to dispel any notion that she is being critical of her predecessor:
She proceeds to outline her own position which reflects the Stonewall dogma, right down to forgetting about ”trans” men, I might add.
She, then, professes to accept that not all feminists will be intersectional and it is these people she would like to reach. It all started so reasonably.
She is then asked to share her first impressions on taking up the role of Stonewall CEO. Her answer is very revealing and somewhat ironic as we watch Stonewall’s influence drain away.
NHS
Later she follows up the issue of Stonewall’s influence, revealing that they are actively lobbying the NHS over healthcare issues. She also explains why they are uniquely placed to be successful; because of the high number of NHS trusts in their protection racket, oops, sorry, I mean their Diversity Champions scheme.
Asked what she is currently up to she says the quiet bit out loud, about the attempt to class misogyny as a hate crime. She is working with Labour MP, Stella Creasy on this initiative and, of course they are trying to make sure it covers trans-identified males. There is no doubt, if they are successful, some litigious trans activist will be salivating at the prospect of prosecuting a woman for the crime of misogyny against a “transgender woman”. Maximum Validation!
She also reveals she has been doing a bit of Northern outreach to address concerns they are too London centric. This would be the same Andy Burnham 👇 who has remained studiously silent about the aggressive “trans” (men’s) rights activists in his city.
Sexual Racists
Nancy’s conciliatory tone didn’t last, as illustrated in this superb article by Jo Bartosch.
The BBC finally covered some research about Lesbians being pressured to have sex with trans-identified males. Nancy was asked about gender critical Lesbians; who believe they have the right to exclude men, claiming to be lesbians, from their dating pools. Nancy branded them, in effect, “sexual racists”. 👇 (Nancy, is not vulnerable herself, as she is in a long term partnership with an American woman).
It also emerged that Stonewall had attempted to suppress the report on Lesbians being sexually harassed.
Five Year Plan.
Nancy didn’t acknowledge that historical revisionism is a central plank of Stonewall’s Five Year Plan. Pretending the entire Gay rights movement was kickstarted by
“Transgender Women” and ignoring the role of Lesbians and Gay men, at the Stonewall riots, would have made even Stalin blush.
This 👇 is abject capitulation from a once proud organisation. She is bending the knee to a Men’s, sexual, rights movement and throwing the gay community, particularly, Lesbians under the “transgender” train.
Finally!
Lest Kelley tries to airbrush herself out of the trans debacle and the fall of Stonewall she condemned herself with this statement.
No attempt to make misogyny a hate crime until men said they were women. Of course.
I’ve called Diva mag ‘Devious’ mag for years because they’re quite clearly linked to the sex / porn industry .
