I sent the following letter to the editor:

Dear Sir / Madam,

I read with great interest Sarah Vine's impassioned defence of motherhood, and I must say that I could not agree more.

However I take issue with Ms. Vine's calling Stonewall a 'gay rights organisation'. Stonewall has not represented gay rights for some time, and many of us in the LGB 'community' (such as it is) believe that Stonewall now actively works against the rights of gay, lesbian and bisexual people, instead preferring to, as Ms. Vine so trenchantly points out, erase women and strip them of their hard-won rights.

I would hate for your readership to think that gay men and lesbians are supportive of, or worse, responsible for this perfidious and reprehensible war against women. We are not. Stonewall does not, and has not for some time, speak for the gay community. Stonewall speaks for a vanishingly small but disproportionately loud group of misogynists and homophobes who seek to wield whatever legislative sledgehammers they must to ensure that women and those who are same sex attracted are silenced, deplatformed (in the case of Jo Phoenix) and sacked (in the case of Allison Bailey).

Stonewall have been dealt a great blow to their credibility in recent weeks when barrister Akua Reindorf's review into the University of Essex's deplatforming of Jo Phoenix found that the organisation had misled the university, and that their policy 'states the law as Stonewall prefers it to be, rather than the law as it is.'

In response to these comments the CEO of Stonewall, Nancy Kelley, likened the holding of gender-critical beliefs to anti-semitism. Proof, if further proof were needed, that Stonewall has lost its way.

I must also offer the most minor of corrections. Ms. Vine tells us that the House of Commons is a member of Stonewall's 'Diversity Champions' scheme, but this is incorrect. As was reported in The Telegraph on May 29th, the House of Commons has not renewed it's membership to the scheme. May the rest of the government, civil service and business world follow Liz Truss's sage advice and withdraw their membership too.

Kindest regards,
