Transgender lobbying group Stonewall was issued the public funding to “empower trans leaders and organisations” with a “particular focus on leadership, media and influencing” from the Big Lottery Fund. Members of the group include Morgan Page, a former sex worker from Canada who mocked a fellow transgender client for having the “the world’s smallest testicular implants, the size of Cadbury’s Mini Eggs”. Ms Page also claimed that trans discrimination is led by “conservatives dressed up as feminists”, adding that trans people in the US are “bogeymen primarily for Trump voters”. Ms Morgan also ran a workshop controversially called Overcoming the Cotton Ceiling, with the “cotton ceiling” term used by trans lesbian women to criticise biological lesbian women for not having sex with them because they have penises.

She is also joined by former Green Party member Aimee Challenor, who resigned after using her father as an election agent despite him having been charged with imprisoning, raping and torturing a 10-year-old child in the attic of the home they shared. Ms Chanellor claimed she know nothing of the horrendous crime her father ended up being jailed for 22 years for. Debbie Hayton, who is herself transgender, said: “The rules say lottery money should not be used for 'political activity', but giving lobbying groups a grant for 'influencing' is funding political campaigning by another name.”

Conservative MP David Davies insisted that although nobody objects to LGBT services receiving grants, his issue lies with donation's being given for influencing. He said: “Nobody objects to grants designed to provide services to LGBT people. “But my concern with grants explicitly described as being for ‘influencing’ is that the Lottery is taking a clear position at one extreme of what of what is a highly contested political debate.”
