As a lesbian I am incensed with how Stonewall has erased our culture and contibutions and disrespects our sexual boundaries. This narrative needs to stop if we truly to progess rights for LGBTand gender non conforming people.

It is incredibly important for you to acknowledge the diversity of valid views on this within the LGBT community and to support the lesbian community.

I’m deeply concerned about how many out gay teens are now claiming Trans status.. This won’t fit the narrative but gay teens see more celebration of Transgender than homosexuality. Just think about that Stonewall. ‘

Simply questioning the veracity of a transactivitist’s serious allegation about another person had me accused of being a fascist and transphobic. I am seriously concerned about a group that will not tolerate reasoned debate.

Come one everyone - let’s wake up and tell the truth! Save our children from having their lives ruined by nonsense and lies from formerly respected bodies like Stonewall.

I agree with this statement. I hope Stonewall will consider their role and the impact they're currently having on shutting down debate elsewhere

Pro woman does NOT equal anti trans and 'woman' is a biological rsality, not a feeling.

Objectivity should never be dismissed by subjectivity - feelings are not more important than facts. Biological reality shapes the lives of women - to allow anyone who isn't a woman to call themselves a woman is to dismiss the lived experience of all women as irrelevant. The way biological sex is being ignored demonstrates how widely misunderstood the importance of biology is in a woman's life. From puberty to post menopause, a woman has a unique experience of life that cannot be adopted by a man who has not been born a woman. This is not transphobic - it is simply a fact.
Any organisation that ignores scientific fact in favour of an ideology based on feelings is doing a huge disservice to women and men. Sex and gender are not the same. Sex determines your biological sex; gender is how people express themeselves. By insisting gender is the defining feature of biological sex, cultural stereotyping is being reinforced. This is deeply alarming. At a point in history where women are still facing prejudice from men it is particularly disturbing that gender is being highlighted as so important. Men are also damaged by entrenched gender roles imposed upon them.
Please reconsider this issue, Stonewall.

The biggest gay & lesbian rights campaigning charity in the UK no longer acknowledges sex or sexual orientation as protected characteristics. It's time to put this right.

You have to look at society as a whole, which you’re not doing now. It’s an insult to women.

Please respect the rights and needs of all women, men and transgender. Please don’t place in danger one set of people over the needs of another. All vulnerable groups, including biological females need protection. Please don’t protect another group at the expense of another. Please please please

Transactivists behave as autocrats: They no-platform, they demand for MPs & councillors to censor Women's Place, they harass and mob businesses who host a women's group like Woman's Place. In all, they're anti-democratic & are righteous zealots.

Stonewall's adoption of 'pro-women = anti-trans' needs to stop. The L in LGBT is being ignored. Lesbians are women, their rights & their sexuality are valid, not 'phobic'.

Sex separated female spaces are essential for me to conduct my every day activities. Self Id means I will need to self exclude from anything that requires me to potentially share intimate spaces with male bodies as I am a Jewish woman.

You did a great job for gays & lesbians. Don't centre the trans agenda at the expense of women's rights.

I’m fed up with my womanhood, a physical state which I did not choose, being taken up as a fashion item by men who want to wear frocks.
