]]> Not-for-profit organisation set up in 2021 with a single mission: to re-establish that sex matters in rules, laws, policies, language and culture.

Executive director is Maya Forstater, who in 2019 took a case in the employment tribunal after losing her job for talking about sex-based rights. This led to a precedent-setting ruling that the everyday understanding of human sex as binary, immutable and important is a protected belief under the Equality Act.

]]> Campaigning and consultancy group which raises awareness, provides evidence and analysis, and supports policy-makers to protect the rights of women and girls in the UK.

Opposes sex self-ID, and also played a large part in the government’s decision to abandon plans to introduce it in England and Wales in 2018.

Brought the judicial review in 2021 that forced the ONS to continue to collect data on sex in the census, rather than conflating it with self-declared gender identity.

Has specific expertise on the harm done to women by allowing males to participate in female sports and to apply for transfer to female prisons.

Director is Dr Nicola Williams.

]]> Registered charity set up in 2019 to advocate for the rights of gay, lesbian and bisexual people.

Founded by two lesbians, Bev Jackson (who in 1970 was a founding member of the UK Gay Liberation Front) and Kate Harris (who was formerly an active supporter of, and fundraiser for, Stonewall).

Supported by Aubrey Walter, one of the founders of the UK Gay Liberation Front, and by many former champions of Stonewall, who see it as the heir to the early gay and lesbian rights movement.

All the other groups that used to support LGB people have switched their attention to the promotion of gender-identity theory, which LGB Alliance regards as regressive and homophobic.

]]> Grassroots feminist campaign formed in 2017 by women with backgrounds in trade-union and broader social movements. 

Aim was to ensure women’s voices would be heard in the consultation on proposals for self-identification and to uphold single-sex exceptions. 

Played a large role in getting government plans to reform the Gender Recognition Act abandoned in England and Wales, after which it evolved into a broader women’s rights campaign.

Public-facing work includes meetings on women’s rights – the harassment these meetings has attracted has been instrumental in raising awareness of the tactics used to silence women speaking about their sex-based rights.
