In the middle of a war, the Islamic Republic still finds time to flog this young women for music.

Anita Papist, a young Iranian singer, has been sentenced to 74 lashes.

Her crime? Singing and uploading her video on Instagram.

The regime confiscated her passport. Blocked her phone. Now they want to silence her voice.

This is called gender apartheid. A total apartheid against women.

Be her voice

@LGBAlliance_USA How does a law like this unfairly target lgb(tq) children? The clue is in the term, children? No child should have access to adult content. The clue being adult. Thanks for stepping up and writing an article that should never have required to be written in the first place 🙏🏻.

[The Iranian @JustAnIranianIr]

In Afghanistan 14-year-old Afghan girl Nazgol was forced by her family to marry a 63-year-old man — a local Taliban-linked mayor on his 4th marriage.

Just days later, her wedding video went viral on social media.

When other men saw the footage of his young bride, the old man felt humiliated and lost his “honor.”

In a rage, he strangled Nazgol to death, to erase the stain off his honor !

Her wedding was her death sentence.
She never got to turn 15.

I am taking legal action against my trade union, Unite, for discrimination, harassment and victimisation due to my gender critical beliefs.
I would be very grateful if you could share my crowdfunder and donate if you are able.

Female victims who k!ll their abusers in self-defense spend an average of 15 years in prison.

Abusive men who murder their female partners spend an average of 2 to 6 years in prison.

[For Women Scotland @ForWomenScot]

One of the myths circulating on Bluesky in the wake of the @AmnestyUK report is that Beira's Place doesn't offer support services and is simply a helpline.

This is untrue. BP offers support sessions along the same model as other RCCs in Scotland.

@DreyfusJames Homes Under the Hammer? …….. but only specific ones…… with people they disagree with but can’t use their grown up word with inside…….. and they are actually using hammers?

[AHF 💜🤍💚 @AHF1888]

All the entities on this list, despite being setup by different people, at different times, in different places and for different important purposes, somehow all managed to be all about me. Insulting me. Me, me, me! 🙄 #delusional

[India Willoughby @IndiaWilloughby]

Can’t say it loudly enough because it is the truth - the ultimate defence. All of the entities on the list published by Amnesty last week were launched SPECIFICALLY to persecute or ban trans people. Every single one. Without exception.

Take that motive away, none would exist.

The Edinburgh Funder is trying to bully people into silence. @amnesty @AmnestyUK

[AHF 💜🤍💚 @AHF1888]

Please ignore this ignorant post and access help if you need it. This free service from .@beirasplace is open to women in Edinburgh and the Lothians.

[Theresa ♿ @TheatreSpoonie]

Just a reminder Beira's Place is NOT a rape crisis centre. If you need immediate support they sign post you to ERCC, Rape Crisis Scotland, or the NHS. Their actual remit is tiny and limited and their building isn't accessible.

[Róisín Murphy @roisinmurphy]

“I believe biological sex is real, binary, immutable, and distinct from gender identity. While I support trans people living their lives free of harassment and discrimination, I do not believe gender identity should override sex in single-sex spaces that affect women’s safety and dignity. “ says it perfectly x

@Sorelle_Arduino He fell for that excuse 🤣👍🏻

Over three years since I wrote this thought experiment and in that time, not one person has been able to find a single flaw in it.

(Calling me a transphobe or a bigot doesn't count)

[J.K. Rowling @jk_rowling]

The gay rights movement is currently host to a cannibalising ideology that blames and shames homosexuals for not sleeping with members of the opposite sex. Amnesty International is on the side of the persecutors.

[AHF 💜🤍💚 @AHF1888]

@SVPhillimore I don’t see the concern around confidentiality? There’s no way he could be identified by the information provided. A bigger concern for me is the intent behind the call, but it’s never about the women suffering abuse, it’s all about these men imposing themselves on women. 😔

[AHF 💜🤍💚 @AHF1888]

@WingsScotland A visual and oral representation of aspects of the trans movement including, but not limited to; a complete lack of self and situational awareness, generic nylon wig, tantrum, not being able to use an indoor voice and entitlement that they think everyone else should play along 🤦‍♀️

[J.K. Rowling @jk_rowling]

Trans-identified men in Edinburgh are fortunate enough to be welcome at the Edinburgh Rape Crisis Centre, which was headed for a while by a trans-identified man who believed, and said publicly, that women who wanted a female-only service were bigots. That same rape centre admitted a male as a client because he called himself non-binary. The man was subsequently convicted for rape.

Beira’s Place was set up by me to provide women in Edinburgh and the Lothians with the female-only service they were being denied. Internal emails between ERRC staff were revealed during an unrelated court case, which showed them to be angry and dismayed that there was now an alternative service for women. One might have thought, reading those emails, that ERRC staff’s priority was the ideological conversion of rape survivors rather than the provision of a service that traumatised women required to feel safe after rape.

Beira’s Place has been exceptionally busy since it opened. We’ve taken on more staff and are currently looking for larger premises. We’ve helped women who’ve admitted that they didn’t want to use the alternative rape centre because of its very loud and public ‘trans women are women’ stance. We are also open to any and all trans-identified women who need support after rape.

In short, you’ll be relieved to hear that the trans-identified men for whom you feel such empathy and compassion aren’t losing out. It was biological women who were being shamed for their entirely legitimate desire for a male-free space. Apparently you’d have preferred that situation to continue, but I think you’ll find that most people, whether male or female, will see that as evidence of your cruelty, not mine.

[J.K. Rowling @jk_rowling]

Amnesty is no longer the organisation that defended all who were persecuted for their freedom of speech. It has become a self-appointed, vainglorious policeman of wrongthink. It tweets out ideological slogans. It demonises those who disagree with those slogans. It intervened in FWS v Scottish Ministers, on the side of those determined to keep men in women’s prisons and rape crisis centres.

Some of us haven’t forgotten that Amnesty stopped supporting the since-murdered prisoner of conscience Alexei Navalny because they deemed he’d said unacceptable things in the past. They reversed that decision due to public backlash, exactly as they withdrew the recent defamatory report, before I or anyone else had responded to it, because they panicked on seeing the reaction. A cynic might think they changed their minds on both occasions, not on principle, but because they were afraid of losing money.

You cannot be simultaneously an impartial defender of freedom and speech and a wealthy international witch hunter that publicly vilifies and intimidates small campaigning groups with whom you disagree. As for ‘silencing’ Amnesty, I have neither the power nor the desire to do so. I want them to explain as loudly and extensively as possible why they are using their might and formerly lustrous reputation to attack small non-violent campaigning organisations with legally protected beliefs.

[For Women Scotland @ForWomenScot]

The Times reports that the defamatory paper was discussed at at a meeting for funders and women's organisations on 8th July.

@AmnestyUK says they did not "organise the event", but presumably someone signed off on attending it with the paper!

@JohnCleese Given the disappointment we all feel over Amnesty, particularly yourself, would you kindly consider offering your talents to women’s and children’s rights groups again? A comedy or variety gala or benefit? Get .@DreyfusJames and .@Glinner? Funds to .@lumos and .@beirasplace?
