-| text = As Global Chair of BNY Mellon's LGBT network, I put us forward for Stonewall's Champions programme every year. Back then – this would have been around 2010, well before Ruth Hunt took over in 2014 – Stonewall's remit under Ben Summerskill was lesbian, gay and bisexual only; it didn't cover trans. That left us in an odd position: a global bank wanting to do right by all its people, but told that for trans inclusion we would have to separately find, vet and fund a second specialist organisation. And then there was the money. Getting one budget line signed off for a diversity subscription was hard enough; getting a second approved – for what was seen at the time as a niche topic – would have been all but impossible. Most firms never managed it. So when Stonewall brought trans expertise in-house in 2015, it was genuinely welcomed: it meant trans was covered under the single budget line we already had, we could work with one organisation for everyone, and it sent a signal, from the biggest name in the field, that trans colleagues were part of the same family. For those of us doing this work inside big institutions, that mattered.
