A much-deserved kicking for Stonewall from Baroness Falkner, head of the Equalities and Human Rights Commission [ECHR]. Stonewall made a formal complaint against the EHRC in 2023,  claiming that it was “trans-hostile” and “not fit for purpose”, and criticising its decision to back new legal protections for biological women. Well, they lost.

Now, from the Times:

Stonewall wasted money trying to “discredit” the equalities watchdog over its stance on transgender issues, exacerbating its financial woes, the chairwoman of the Equality and Human Rights Commission (EHRC) has said.

Baroness Falkner of Margravine said that the charity’s decision to attempt to have the regulator stripped of its top-level UN status did “nothing” to help those the charity tries to protect and suggested the action had wasted donors’ money.

The Times revealed last week that the LGBT charity was facing staff cuts of up to half of its workforce in part because of Donald Trump’s freeze on US foreign aid.

And in part – in the main – because finally it's become obvious what a disaster their turn to so-called trans rights and support of gender ideology has been – notably for the LGBs that they betrayed.
