I'm transsexual, I transitioned & was reassigned over 20 years ago. I had to prove I wasn't a transvestite or I wouldn't have had my Gender Dysphoria treated. Now because of the widening of the trans umbrella, I find the actions of Transvestites are being used as ammunition to discriminate against me. My condition is medical, theirs isn't Please stop conflating the two as if they were the same thing, it's confusing the debate

Stonewall has done so much good in the past. It's a shock to see it now undermining the rights of lesbians and other women. We have the right to debate or oppose changes that would reduce our rights.

To deny open debate is un-democratic

I'm a gay man and generally supportive of what Stonewall does. But I think have gone badly wrong on this topic and are contributing to the fear lots of people have about debating this subject in a sensible and respectful way.

I was not raped because I thought I was female. I was raped because I am female.

You've got this very wrong stonewall and you've lost public support because of it.

I find it very unfortunate that it is unlawful to spend about 3 hours per month with women born female.

I fully support the right of trans people to lives free of discrimination and prejudice and to be treated with the same human dignity as any other person. That does not though include a right to compel others to deny their own perceptions of reality including that of biological difference between males and females or to deny them the right to discuss or debate those differences and the related social and political consequences of those differences. It is deeply depressing to see organisations like Stonewall act as though that debate has already been had and that there are no possible negative consequences to the rest of the queer community or to women's rights that can flow from an unquestioned acceptance of self declared gender identity as being in all ways equal to the biological sex identified with.

Please consider that the safety and rights of one group may not override those of another - also silencing debate and the voices of large groups of people leads to anger and conflict. Free speech even when we don't like what is said is vital to inform debate and ensure that views we disagree with can be challenged.

Welcome to the Orwellian state. Once again, women are at the bottom of the pecking order, derided as “TERFs”, their rights ignored. Misogyny of the highest order.

Please reconsider your placement of hard right trans-activism over the rights for women and girls. Please stop denying the biological basis of womanhood.
