Check out and support https://lgballiance.org.uk/

I know they are based in the UK but it's a start

I can't support them given how vague they are, and how they've made some pretty bizarre choices and statements. Until they become completely transparent, they're likely as scummy as any other LGBT "charity" for the moment

Can you elaborate? What did they say that you find bizarre?

They just basically obsess over shit that doesn't matter (Stonewall) and demanding money for some unknown mysterious cause, that then never goes anywhere, especially not to LGB people in need.

They also posted something that some users interpreted as being anti gay marriage (or rather, anti marriage in general.) Now, I'm not bothered by that myself because my opinion of marriage is also low. But I do question why they randomly said such a thing that had little to do with their apparent (but very vague and largely non-existent) "goal"

I suppose their purpose is to "drop the T" but they haven't really given any hints on how to do that.

Yes, that tone deaf tweet about gay marriage. Badly worded, they do need to remember that their detractors are going to grab at anything they can to discredit them.

I reckon Stonewall does matter in the UK. Basically they are largely responsible for the 'stonewalling' of UK businesses, charities, the police, the NHS etc through providing training and 'advice' and their Stonewall Index which largely comprises of companies trying to vie with one another to be as high as possible (basically by focussing on the 'T'). They have bought in 110% into gender identity and set much of the tone of the discourse round LGBT issues in the UK

Don't know about anything else. We can all have our own opinions!
