Stonewall have lost their way. They are promoting a harmful ideology that is at odds with biological reality. Humans can't change their sex. I am an adult human female and I will not give up mine or my children's rights to sex-segregated spaces.

Please stop betraying both lesbians and straight women. Women’s rights matter.

Worries me deeply that people with penises can tell women how to be women and intrude on their private spaces; it is the ultimate misogyny

Transgender politics erases homosexuality and is threatening women's safety and rights. I used to support Stonewall but have stopped donating due to your silencing of concerned LGBT people and women.

It should be a matter of concern to Stonewall they they have alienated so many people with their dogmatism and refusal to accept that women and girls need specific protection from predatory men.

Please stop changing Stonewall from a trailblazing gay rights organisation to a sexist homophobic men's rights organisation. Thanks.

I ask very politely, as a woman, that you reconsider your transgender policies. Please, this affects women and children too.

So disappointed in Stonewall in recent years and their change of direction. Also feel like they are not listening

Stonewall's current leadership is trading on the trust and respect built up over many years by others in the organisation to pursue a divisive agenda that will damage women's rights and promote lesbophobia. They have actively contributed to the poisonous tone of the 'debate' by refusing to accept women's concerns and dismissing anyone who does not agree with them totally as bigots. I am incredibly sad and disappointed at what this organisation has become.

It is very confusing to me that you have adopted such a biased position on gender self identification, closing down debate in support of the Transgender lobby and against members of the gay, lesbian and bisexual community who have legitimate concerns. Why?

Your repeated failure to stand up for the LGB - in particular lesbians who are being targeted by transwomen for their sexuality - is shocking. Remember you’re there for ALL not just the ones bringing you in the most funding.

As a child I wanted to be a boy, I dressed as a boy and took a boy’s name. I am now perfectly happy in my bisexual woman’s body and I am a mother, which is the best thing that has happened to me. I hate to think what would have happened to me if I was that child now, possibly a lifetime of surgery and medication, not being a mother and I certainly don’t think I would be happier. Actually what I was resisting was society’s stereotypes for what I should do and look like, it turns out that there was nothing wrong with me it was other people’s expectations. Thank you for starting this petition.

I am the facilitator of the transwidows thread on mumsnet. I strongly support this petition but have to do so anonymously for fear of being doxxed.

Stonewall FT Volunteer 1993-4 #AgeofConsent campaign because she thought the Consent (or lack thereof) of young gay men was important, who also witnessed lesbians warning of PIE piggy-backing (PIE = Paedophile Information Exchange) and of the blanking of these warnings by gay male elite.

STONEWALL has turned its back on its original mission, to the detriment of gay and lesbian people, to the detriment of women's rights and to the detriment of vulnerable children.... all this to cater to the demands and goals of wealthy white autogynephilic males who want to depathologise their paraphilia while making profit off the medicalisation of GNC children and young people and making vast (legal) changes in society which undermine progress towards sex-based equal rights... shame on you...

Stonewall should stand for *all* gay, lesbian and bisexual people.
