@genspect No, Amnesty are right, these organisation are actively seeking to roll back trans rights, ergo are anti-rights.

The anti-trans fanatics really have their underwear in a twist over Amnesty International calling out their blatant human rights violations against trans people.

Transphobia is a sickness & has permeated our government & legal system. It must be challenged, called out & stopped.

@Silenced_Woman_ Litigious thuggery - one of the hallmarks of a TERF.

@speakoutsister If you see Graham Lineham in public, make a scene, call the cops and if all else fails, punch him in the balls.

...can the UK police pay me 25,000 pounds now?

[Kăskă (she/her)🏳️‍⚧️ @KaskaJessica]

Amnesty is correct. Gender critical group are entirely used to attack trans people & nothing else.
GC groups don't actually do anything for the people they claim to support

[MayaSeveryn @MayaSvryn]

Imagine my surprise! 🤦‍♀️
UK terfs and bigots have been manufactured and manipulated by US right wing Christofascists.

[India Willoughby @IndiaWilloughby]

List from Amnesty UK of the umpteen anti-trans groups that suddenly appeared in Britain directly after the US Religious Right ‘Values Voters Conference’ - attended by Trump - declared war on trans in 2017.

UK media has no interest in where these groups came from. Or who funds them.

@Female_Lib_Now No. The new homophobia is women who aren’t lesbians and who have an obsession with trans women telling lesbian women what they should think.

[MayaSeveryn @MayaSvryn]

@speakoutsister And maybe, just maybe, men are projecting their own internalised issues into the debate?

[India Willoughby @IndiaWilloughby]

Can I please ask you NOT to allow the UK to host next year’s International Day Against Homophobia, Biphobia and Transphobia ? Living as a trans person in the UK is now effectively illegal - legal recognition stripped, countless bans, putting anatomical females in male prisons. NHS - only offers conversion therapy. The sham LGBT conversion therapy ban the UK Gov announced this week says conversion therapy will still be allowed if it is being done to help someone’s health. It’s an absolute joke. Do NOT help the UK pink-wash its disgusting treatment of the trans population. @andyburnham @bphillipsonMP @Lord_Collins @jamesmurray_ldn @EU_Commission

[ergopraxis.bsky.social @ergo_praxis]

Apt reminder that the specific, narrow reason transphobes approve of this policy is that they view it as institutionalised corrective rape of an undesirable group. The filthy little cowards shiver with barely concealed glee thinking of sexual violence inflicted on the "deviants".

[Miffy @miffythegamer]

We don’t put other people’s private medical treatment to a public vote, luv. That’s why we have qualified medical professionals.

[Kirsti Miller @KirstiMiller30]

The European Court of Human Rights (ECtHR) recognises that transgender prison inmates are a highly vulnerable group requiring enhanced state protection.

Under the European Convention on Human Rights, particularly Article 8 (Right to respect for private and family life), the Court mandates that prison authorities provide access to gender-affirming healthcare, including hormone replacement therapy (HRT).

Court's legal framework and the broader Council of Europe standards regarding transgender inmates are built around several key principles:

1. Access to Gender-Affirming Healthcare.

In the landmark case of W.W. v. Poland, the ECtHR ruled that denying a transgender inmate access to medically prescribed hormone therapy violates Article 8.

The Court determined that self-determination and gender identity are essential aspects of private life, and states place a disproportionate burden on inmates by requiring them to undergo additional, unnecessary medical consultations to prove the necessity of life-improving or life-saving treatment.

2. Prison Accommodation and Placement.

Placement of transgender prisoners remains one of the most complex issues within European penal systems. The European Committee for the Prevention of Torture (CPT), which operates alongside the ECtHR, enforces standards stipulating that:

•Transgender individuals should generally be accommodated in the prison section corresponding to their gender identity.

•Isolation or segregation should remain strictly exceptional, short-term, and only used for the inmate's protection.

•Inmates must be allowed to express their gender identity through access to appropriate clothing, cosmetics, and hygiene products.

3. Safety and Anti-Violence Safeguards.

The ECtHR and the CPT mandate that national prison authorities actively prevent ill-treatment, intimidation, and inter-prison violence targeting transgender individuals. Because transgender inmates are frequently exposed to high risks of abuse from both staff and other prisoners, authorities are required to train prison staff appropriately and enforce strict anti-discrimination policies.

Body searches must also be conducted in a manner that respects the individual's dignity and does not cause psychological harm.

Labour banned puberty blockers, cheered a ruling that stripped trans people of legal recognition, and polled at 19% anyway. There is a lesson here. My full take: https://t.co/i6HmEs5dsa

On the day a Scottish court ruled that some women with vaginas should be put in men’s prisons - because when they were a baby they had a penis - this 👇.

Barbaric. How can you allow this @bphillipsonMP @JohnSwinney ? Women are going to be murdered and raped by order of the State.

[MayaSeveryn @MayaSvryn]

@KirstiMiller30 @SlightPeeve @SexMattersOrg The understanding and appreciation of satire requires a basic level of intelligence on the part of the reader, which imposes, therefore, a challenge for Terfs and GCrits.

[Steph Richards: (She/her) - Say NO to hate. @PompeySteph]

So a trans woman with a vagina can be placed in a male prison in Scotland.

What are the potential consequences?

Rape? Suicide? Murder? Potentially numerous human rights claims at Strasbourg.

Scotland....you have a problem.

[MayaSeveryn @MayaSvryn]

@IndiaWilloughby @KirstiMiller30 Oh dear. I suggest they all work on their secondary gender characteristics if they don’t want to be challenged when entering toilets for large gamete producers!
