The Royal College of Psychiatrists has cut ties with Stonewall.
According to documents seen by the Daily Telegraph, the college will not renew its current membership which expires in December. Previously, it ranked 90th in the group’s ‘top 100’ employers for ‘progress on LGBT equality’.
The college reportedly decided to sever ties following internal disagreement over its stance on transgender issues.
The Conflict
The college’s President Lade Smith CBE and Chief Executive Sonia Walter told members: ‘We are acutely aware that there is a risk in being affiliated with an organisation that may speak on matters relating to the professional practice of our members, but over which the college has no direct control.
‘The college has evaluated its membership of Stonewall and decided not to renew when it expires in December.’
Fiona McAnena, Director of Campaigns for women’s group Sex Matters, welcomed the college for sending a ‘clear message that it is putting evidence and the well-being of patients ahead of the demands of trans activist lobbyists’.
She said the College’s ‘recognition that the ideological position of Stonewall may conflict with the professional practice of its members is a significant statement’, and its decision should pressure other medical bodies such as the Royal College of General Practitioners to follow suit.

Over 100 organisations waking up to reality
After years of efforts by Christian Voice to expose Stonewall for what it truly is, over 100 companies are finally seeing the light and cutting ties with the lobby group. Many businesses now feel uncomfortable being associated with the group and have chosen to distance themselves.
Companies are leaving Stonewall over concerns about the group’s position on gender identity. The lobby group has pushed for policies that allow people to change their gender without medical checks, policies that go against the Bible and humanity.
Businesses, government departments, and even NHS trusts have expressed worry that these policies are too one-sided and ignore the need for balance and fairness, especially in areas like women’s spaces and sports.
Stonewall advised and influenced companies through what they call ‘Diversity Champions Scheme’ to not only make life altering decisions but also make the workplace a complicated environment to be in.
More so, organisations seeking to appear ‘woke’ and ‘inclusive’ pay over £3,000 annually to Stonewall’s membership for the sake of ‘recognition.’ These funds should be channelled into something more beneficial rather than promote trans ideologies.
Meanwhile, Stonewall claim that the programme ‘provides guidance and support that helps employers meet their statutory obligations under the Equality Act 2010, but also to go beyond the “legal minimum”‘.
In a now deleted statement, Stonewall has dismissed reports of employers leaving the programme saying organisations ‘come and go depending on what works best for them’, and that the post-pandemic economic downturn had led some employers to leave the programme.

Cutting ties not enough!
Cutting ties with Stonewall is a step in the right direction, but it is not enough. The government and the NHS must go further by declaring the group unfit to influence policies that affect millions of people across the UK.
The Bible says,
Ephesians 5:11 And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them.
One of the most significant issues is Stonewall’s influence in shaping public sector guidelines through its so called ‘Diversity Champions Programme’. The program has increasingly advocated for controversial ideas, including the assertion that gender identity should replace biological sex in determining rights and access to services. This shift has implications for women’s rights, single-sex spaces, and safeguarding in schools and healthcare settings.
Furthermore, Stonewall’s push for self-identification policies without adequate public consultation has undermined democratic processes. Stonewall’s dominance in policy-making has sidelined legitimate concerns from feminists, medical professionals, and the wider public, who worry about the erosion of safeguards designed to protect vulnerable groups. By continuing to allow Stonewall’s influence in the public sector, the government and NHS risk creating policies that are not representative of the broader public interest.
‘No debate’
Stonewall has been accused of shutting down debate through its ‘no debate’ stance, silencing anyone who questions their interpretation of gender ideology. All public institutions must be places of open dialogue, where policies are subject to rigorous scrutiny, but Stonewall’s involvement has arguably stifled such discussions.
Moreover, organisations aiming to appear ‘woke’ and ‘inclusive’ pay over £3,000 annually to Stonewall’s membership programme for the sake of ‘recognition.’ Rather than investing these funds in making real change in the work space, they are used to promote narrow focus on ‘trans ideologies’.
These resources could be far better spent on initiatives that deliver tangible benefits to the wider community—supporting projects in healthcare, education, and workplace opportunities.
