A few years ago, a former journalist speculated that the debate over transgender had the potential to break Stonewall. Based on a flurry of recent news stories, it now seems their words were strangely prophetic.

A once well-disciplined campaign group is under fire over its approach to trans rights and its treatment of those who dare to disagree.

It’s hard to exaggerate the staggering influence Stonewall has had. Founded in May 1989 to protest Section 28, which forbid local authorities from promoting homosexuality, it has campaigned very effectively on a variety of causes.
