They don’t have the best writers
A crudely written vituperative piece on the Allison Bailey tribunal by one Moya Lothian-McLean:
Barrister Allison Bailey – a co-founder of the LGB Alliance, a transgender-exclusionary organisation – is suing, in one fell swoop, Garden Court, her legal chambers, and Stonewall, the largest LGBTQ+ organisation in Europe.
It’s just stupid and ludicrous to call the LGB Alliance “transgender-exclusionary.” There is no law or rule or unwritten agreement that lesbians and gay men must “include” trans people in everything they do. It’s not particularly obvious why they’re expected to “include” them at all ever. Stonewall, meanwhile, could be said to have become a mostly trans-focused organization, and it can certainly be called one that treats some lesbians and gay men like The Enemy.
Bailey’s case is just one of several legal challenges brought by those who fall under the umbrella of what’s now termed the ‘gender critical movement’. They’re made up of a loud (and often public-facing) minority, that run a gauntlet from rightwing evangelicals, in the American mould, to radical feminists.
Oh sorry are we loud? That must be awful, when the trans minority is so very whispery and gentle and self-effacing. Also “run the gauntlet”? She means “run the gamut.” Too bad nobody at Novara caught that. Embarrassing.
Binding them is an inexplicable opposition – in many cases, what feels closer to virulent hatred – to the existence of trans people.
Mkay now we’re getting defamatory. She’s implying that the gender critical movement wants to genocide trans people.
Increasingly, their focus is on the law and attacking even the current meagre rights it offers trans individuals, from access to healthcare to protection from the likes of conversion therapy.
From the likes of? This fool cannot write.
An interview with a Stonewall lawyer follows, but it’s too stupid and dull to go into.
And the LGB-alliance is straight-exclusionary!! Why doesn’t anyone ever shame them for that? Remember, every organization must represent all people in the world, no exceptions.
So are the LGB’s in the trans community excluded from the LGB Alliance, or are they excluding themselves in their entirety because it’s not called the LGBT Alliance? I think the latter. This is the problem with conflating “gender identity” with sexual orientation.
I suppose it’s about time to start referring to Stonewall as “lesbian-exclusionary” at every possible opportunity. After all, if Stonewall excludes women who won’t sleep with men in skirts, then that’s excluding lesbians. And it sure sounds like that’s what their Stonewall’s new gig is. Which is why the LGB alliance came about in the first place.
The lesbian-exclusionary Stonewall organization. I don’t think I’ve said that enough times yet.
Papito, I approve.
In fact, I have added that phrase to my document of handy online phrases I use frequently (such as log-in names and HTML shortcuts), so I can copy-and-paste whenever I want to use it.
“Objection, m’lud! The submission by my learned colleague assumes facts not in evidence. Lotsa facts”
Stonewall excludes homosexuals. They’re fine with homogenderists. In fact, they’re anti-homosexual, because they believe that every gay, lesbian, and bisexual is legitimately attracted to others of the same gender. Homosexuality results when bigotry gets in the way of that.
That’s what it comes down to.
“that run a gauntlet”
Well the gender critical do end up running the gauntlet of verbal blows from the TRAs
And sometimes physical blows.
