Stonewall faces a corporate reckoning following the Cass report
by Lucy Burton, Telegraph:
It’s time for businesses that followed the charity’s advice to finally ask some questions.
It’s not often that an experienced executive admits to hiding in their own office, but that’s exactly what someone confessed she was doing last week when we spoke on the phone.
Being out of earshot was the only way she felt able to discuss her thoughts on the charity Stonewall and its more recent hold on UK plc. “We’ve got a section of HR that’s gone completely off the rails, with views you must follow,” she said.
Her hushed tone is hardly a surprise. In recent years women have found themselves attacked or even sacked for debating transgender identity politics.
Barrister Allison Bailey lost her job when she told colleagues that Stonewall was involved in “harassment, intimidation and threats” against those who opposed its view on transgender issues.
Kathleen Stock, the Sussex University professor forced to quit over her gender identity views, has previously argued that the “once great” Stonewall was now a threat to freedom of speech and doesn’t belong in UK universities, government departments, schools or local authorities.
The big corporations which pay Stonewell to vet their internal policies and rank them in exchange for a fee have largely stayed out of all of this. But the tables could be about to turn.
