Way back (1980?) a small charity I was involved with, which funded the 'unfundable', made a grant to a small, new trans group. But way back, no one had invented the slur 'transphobic'.

Trans women are trans women and deserve respect but you are jumping the shark and losing support by insisting trans woman are “women”

Thank you for a balanced critique.

I am pro-trans, but not at the expense of girls and women. I don't believe it has to be either/or.

I'm a therapist who's very concerned about your attack on gay and lesbian people. I'm also very concerned about you not distancing yourselves from the men who use the transgender label to commit hineous crimes (often against children). If you don't condemn, you enable. And finally I'm very concerned trans people, who are obviously distressed and in need of psychological support, aren't being helped in any meaningful way. It is documented that suicide rates remain unchanged after transition. It's shameful many experienced psychotherapists are reduced to inaction because unable to do their work by challenging clients beliefs. This movement has gone too far. You know its gone too far. I'm all far for ensuring transexual people (and yes, I'm an ally of transexual people, and them alone) are treated with respect and protected from harm. But this doesn't preclude ensuring your gay and lesbian friends, as well as the many women who've always been your allies, are thrown under the bus in process.

The safety of women and girls and maintenance of “women-only” spaces should remain paramount. I never thought I’d see the day when the definition of “woman” is determined by people who are not women. Gender is feeling but biology is fact. If you have a penis, you are not a woman.

Lesbians are homosexual females

I fully support the right of trans people to dignity and respect but your current approach endangers progress already made by the women’s and gay rights movements. Please reconsider and stop trying to prevent the debate that needs to take place.

Stonewall have, in its uncritical support of transgender ideology, managed to become an organisation that works contrary to the welfare of lesbians and gay men.

I am a lesbian who has given you money & support over the years and I feel abandoned and betrayed over what Stonewall has been saying and doing over the last three years. Not supporting the Pride protest was the last straw. What happened Stonewall??

Plus, there is something inherently homophobic-apart from sexist- about claiming that masculine women (many lesbians) are men and feminjne men (many gay men ) are in fact women. How regressive.

Respectfully discussing the rights of women and girls is not transphobic.

Stonewall used to be an amazing organisation. I remember Prides past that had room for everybody, for Stonewall to completely miss represent and verbally attack lesbians is homophobic

Stonewall has to reinstate the legally protected definition of homosexuality as per the Equality Act. They have replaced bio sex with gender/identity which is discriminatory of all UK homosexuals/lesbians/gays and against the law.

This movement has betrayed and silenced my female, lesbian and gay friends. I want them to be heard.

We all respect the rights of trans people, please represent and respect the rights of cis women too.

The name Stonewall used to be respected. Now it's a laughing stock because you constantly put the T before the LG. Don't forget the black lesbian that started the movement. You're an embarrassment. Sort yourselves out and remember your roots.

Sex and gender have different meanings - we are united in challenging societal gender stereotypes, but undermining sex-based rights is not the way to resolve this

HomoSEXual isn't compatible with sex Self ID, and puts young lesbians at particular risk.

Being pro-women does NOT equate to anti-trans. This whole debate has been hijacked by extremists.
