Vexatious
A coalition of gender-critical groups have accused Stonewall of “targeting” the female boss of Britain’s equalities watchdog.
Led by women’s rights organisation Sex Matters, which believes biological sex takes precedence over self-identified gender, the 39 groups said Baroness Kishwer Falkner, chairwoman of the Equalities and Human Rights Commission, was being attacked for taking action to protect women.
They said Stonewall had subjected her to the same sort of “unreasonable, vexatious complaints” used to harass ordinary women at work.
The groups have signed a letter to the Global Alliance of National Human Rights Institutions (Ganhri), which has been persuaded by organisations such as Stonewall to carry out a “special review” into the EHRC, claiming it is anti-trans.
What does Stonewall mean by “anti-trans”? The usual – not bowing to every demand no matter how destructive of other people’s rights.
Stonewall and other groups applied to Ganhri for the EHRC to be stripped of its UN accreditation as an “A” status national national human rights organisation.
They complained after the EHRC advised the government on the protected characteristic of sex in the Equality Act 2010, in which it said transgender people could be legitimately excluded from single-sex services if the reasons were “justifiable and proportionate”.
Reasons such as “for the safety of women.” Stonewall wants men who claim to be women to be able to force themselves on women’s services no matter what the women think. Rights are for trans people (especially the male ones); submission is for women.
