If, as women are always told, there is NO CONFLICT between 'trans rights' and women's rights then Amnesty are wrong to characterise 'gender critical' women's rights groups as 'anti-rights'.
If there IS a conflict between 'trans rights' and women's rights then Amnesty has taken the side of 'trans rights' and is therefore anti-women's rights.
This would make Amnesty itself 'anti-rights'.
Translation: oops, didn’t realise people outside our ideological bubble are THIS pissed off about the loss of sex-based rights. We remain implacably opposed to any organisation fighting to retain them, but shove in the words ‘rights of women’ to keep the bigots happy.
One of the many odd things about transactivism is how it accommodates both the idea that you can’t tell whether someone’s a woman by how well they perform femininity and the idea that a trans identified man can prove he’s a woman by demonstrating how well he performs femininity.
@akuareindorf@EmilyThornberry I find the language around this so interesting. Yes, trans people deserve equality like everyone else, but love? Love isn't a right.
As I said in my report to the Human Rights Council in June 2025:
"Particularly concerning is the fact that in a number of countries, such as.... #Canada .... the judiciary and the media call male perpetrators of violence by their self-declared gender identity, thereby also skewing the rates of male and female offending. Since women commit a very low number of violent crimes, ....even small variations can have statistically significant effects. Those statistical anomalies have been detected already in Canada.... Neutral approaches to #sex and #gender also enforce victim blaming of women, minimize abuse, enforce male privilege and affect the ability of State and other actors to identify and define violence against females as primarily male violence, rendering it more difficult to combat."
@CormStrikeFan The Running Grave for me without any hesitation. Least favourite, Career of Evil because I find Robin being in constant peril exhausting.
@Anna53167231@CormStrikeFan I had to read the chapters that resolved the crime several times before I felt I understand what had happened and I'm still not entirely convinced I've fully understood it.
@CormStrikeFan I've done my read and I'm about to start on Audible. Not my favourite. Found the angst and misunderstandings so infuriating. But I did like how it all came together. I loved The Running Grave so much it was always going to struggle to live up to it.
