Biology is not transphobic. Men and women should be able to dress and choose sexual partners as they wish. Your current rhetoric denies biology and stifles debate. No platforming those who disagree with you (often from other minority groups) is not the way forward, and will likely end in polarising both communities.

Stonewall -look beyond the money you get for trans issues.. it's about more than that surely ? The fact you fear a reasoned discussion suggests that , at least unconsciously , you know you are on a weak footing .

It is not transphobic to insist that women and girls have a right to penis-free, segregated private spaces

Stonewall is hugely influential - we desperately need them to stop shouting down any questioning or discussion as 'transphobic'.

I’m a member of the lgbt. Not anti-trans. But very concerned about the extremist bullying trans rights activist,’s agenda and their tactics going unchecked by Stonewall et al

Let's have some respectful debate, rather than demonising as transphobic those who wish to discuss or dissent from Stonewall’s current policies!

Having worked in domestic abuse services it is essential that women can access spaces where there will not be men.

It is time someone stood up these bullies and safeguarding for women and girls becomes a priority again.

There are protections and rights for women due to their SEX and these must be protected.

Stonewall has been unthinkingly prioritising transactivism, at the expense of everyone else.

How can stonewall be compatible with concepts like the Cotton Ceiling. Encouraging lesbians to have sex with transwomen because their penises ‘aren’t male’ is utterly regressive.

There should be no stigma with transgender people, they are no different to everyone else and should be treated equally and supported.

It's impossible for any organisation to protect the rights of gay or lesbian people whilst also maintaining that homosexuality is a myth and that people who aren't attracted to the opposite sex are 'transphobic'. This view is setting the G & the L (and to a lesser extent the B) back more than a century.

Stonewall have chased £££ by supporting a men’s rights movement and to do so happily dropped any consideration of women, particularly lesbians.

I'm happy to sign this, as this is a subject that needs a proper, nuanced discussion, rather than just a blanket assumption of self-identification and inclusion.
At present, this is being presented too simplistically for fear of causing offence.

Stonewall needs to close its doors until they change their ways.

To regain any credibility, Stonewall has to acknowledge the conflict between self-identification and homosexuality. Stonewall should adopt an evidence-based approach to how self-identification is being used to undermine homosexuality, and they should commission impact statements on how this shift in their agenda has isolated and put at risk young members of the LGB umbrella.

as said by Calre EStorey:
The proposed GRA reform will be abused by predatory men. Our concerns are not against the rights of trans people, but about the bullying, misogyny and aggressive bullying by TRAs who are trying to negate women's rights to privacy, safety and dignity.
