Pro-trans lobby group Stonewall has helped draft gender policies of up to 30 NHS trusts, according to reports.
Government officials have expressed their displeasure over the fact that 30 trusts have allowed the “LGBT” rights group to write policies on equality and caring for patients who describe themselves as “transgender”.
Health Secretary Steve Barclay was reportedly ‘appalled’ that some NHS managers have brought Stonewall in, despite government guidance urging against outside advice being sought.
Additionally, reports indicate that an organisation such as Mermaids, which promotes “child transitioning,” has also been playing a role in influencing policies within the National Health Service.

Reactions
A source close to Steve Barclay said, ‘The Health Secretary has been clear that equality issues in healthcare services should be dealt with by normal management processes rather than by bringing in external providers.
‘He is appalled to hear some managers are failing to respond and will be discussing with officials what further steps to take. NHS trusts and other health bodies should be relentlessly focused on caring for all patients and cutting waiting lists, not wasting time and money on woke virtue-signaling’.
Meanwhile, the health minister Will Quince also said on Tuesday that ‘NHS trusts should develop their own policies without the help of organisations like Stonewall, adding that there was a danger of “ideology” coming before the concerns of patients and staff’.
The founder of the Women’s Rights Network Heather Binning said the guidance produced by NHS trusts includes the “language of gender ideology”, and that it presents “the law as Stonewall would like it to be, not how it is.
Further, Conservative MP Nic Fletcher said, ‘ It’s unacceptable that the NHS continues to place the safety and privacy of women at risk because of ideological capture by a tiny but vocal lobbying group’.
However, Government officials say NHS trusts should have their own policies, leaving the government powerless as trusts join Stonewall despite all the ‘guidance’. Why do they not make their guidance law? They are complicit, despite their bluster.
Hospital listings
The Dudley Group NHS Foundation Trust listed Stonewall alongside its HR and LGBTQ+ teams as ‘contributors’ to its guidelines, while guidance by University Hospitals Sussex NHS Foundation Trust thanks Stonewall ‘for reviewing and suggesting improvements’. It also states: ‘Stonewall has an excellent … language guide available online.’
In February 2021, NHS Newcastle said, ‘ We are part of the Stonewall Diversity Champions Programme , a good practice employers’ forum on sexual orientation, and will work with Stonewall on a range of issues.
‘We have taken part in the Workplace Equality Index – a leading tool for employers to measure their efforts to tackle discrimination and create inclusive workplaces for lesbian, gay and bisexual employees’.
Sheffield Teaching Hospital even received a Stonewall gold award for its inclusion of promoting “LGBTQ” people in the workplace.
The Trust was praised for its work, creating a workplace where ‘LGBTQ+’ employees can ‘bring their full selves to work’.
Stonewall funding
According to Taxpayers Alliance, public bodies donate over a million per year to lobby group Stonewall despite government departments being told to withdraw from the Diversity Champions scheme.
The group, which works with organisations to promote sodomy at homes, schools, and work, has previously been accused of taking an “extremist stance” by a founding member.
Meanwhile, membership for the scheme cost taxpayers at least £709,225 in 2021-22 with 234 public organisations paying subscriptions.
The number of paying organisations has reduced from 327 between 2018-19 and 2020-21 as most police forces, Companies House and the Museum of London left the scheme.
However, 175 public bodies have admitted to remaining members, including the Foreign, Commonwealth /Development Office (FCDO) and Department for Environment, Food/ Rural Affairs, despite Liz Truss pushing for all government departments to leave in May 2021.

How far has Stonewall gone?
Promoting same-sex relationships in the name of “an all-inclusive society” has eaten deep into all sectors across the UK. As the psalmist said:
Psalm 12:8 The wicked walk on every side, when the vilest men are exalted.
In education, teachers who disagree get fired while in other sectors they either asked to step down from senior roles or or suspended from committees.
A Christian teacher was banned from teaching for addressing a girl as a girl. And a court says parents can’t object to their 4-year-old forced into ‘gay pride’ event.
King Lawal, a Christian local councillor, also got suspended and is under investigation for tweeting that pride is not a virtue but a sin.
The Bible says,
Proverbs 16:18 Pride goeth before destruction, and an haughty spirit before a fall.

Our position on ‘trans’:
Stonewall is particularly involved in the ‘trans’ issue, the Bible is clear, Christian Voice has in previous articles maintained Biblical teaching that there is no possibility of altering God’s creation. Leading scientists and researchers have said human biology can not be changed. If you are born with XX chromosomes you cannot change yourself to XY, and vice versa. No amount of gender hormones, no surgical mutilation can achieve it. It is stupidity and wickedness for any nation to allow its people to try.
The Bible says,
Genesis 1:27 So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.
Isa 45:9 Woe unto him that striveth with his Maker! … Shall the clay say to him that fashioneth it, What makest thou? or thy work, He hath no hands? 10 Woe unto him that saith unto his father, What begettest thou? or to the woman, What hast thou brought forth?
Matt 9:12 But when Jesus heard that, he said unto them, They that be whole need not a physician, but they that are sick.

It strikes me that Stonewall are the 5th column in our midst, and have been very successful in their own terms, up till now. However, the transgender issue maybe a tipping point in our nation, Stonewall’s high-water point, I hope. People know in their hearts that sex is a matter of genetics, not personal opinion, and they don’t want their own children damaged by this malign and decadent influence. Time to be as ‘wise as serpents and innocent as doves’ in planning the counter-offensive.
