Amnesty UK was already smearing feminists as 'anti-rights' back in May, according to @thetimes. It appears that, far from being an accidental slip up or an editorial error, the latest defamatory report accurately represents Amnesty UK's deep-seated hostility to all organisations that believe sex is real and important in contexts such as same sex attraction and healing after sexual violence and trauma.

Those who've been defamed are owed an explanation of why Amnesty claimed to have withdrawn the report because of its 'language' when, per @thetimes article, it had already expressed exactly the same beliefs, in the same language, months previously.

Many of the organisations Amnesty has attacked are grassroots campaigners with a tiny fraction of a gigantic, well-funded international NGO's resources. The defamatory report has already had serious consequences for a service supporting women at the most vulnerable time of their lives, as detailed by Beira's Place lawyers in the legal letter sent two days ago. The withdrawing of the report cannot undo the harm it has already done and is continuing to do.

If Amnesty is under the illusion that the women's, children's and gay rights organisations it has attacked will be unwilling to go to court, they have made yet another massive error of judgement. They underestimate both the solidarity that exists between the targeted organisations and my willingness to support legal action, not just on behalf of Beira's Place, but for all women's and LGB organisations falsely branded 'anti-rights.'

The sooner she's in No. 10, the better.

Three Amnesty positions: sex buying should be legal, surrogacy is a human right, trans women are women. In each case the female body is treated as something available for others' use. https://t.co/ozJPwkOIpv

There’s a compilation of published responses to Amnesty International UK’s “anti-rights movement” report in the post below.
Most ask for an apology and an explanation.
Amnesty say it has “temporarily” removed the report for internal review. 🧵

[Dr Pam Gosal MBE @DrPamGosal]

I have visited @beirasplace many times over the years, and I know first-hand the excellent work they do to help women fleeing abusive relationships and sexual violence, and of course, none of this would be possible without the help of @jk_rowling.

Calling Beira's place anti-rights is absolutely shameful 😡

Heather Herbert, who said he hoped Ann Widdecombe’s death was “extremely painful,” is a particularly vile and well‑connected troon. Here he is cheering the arrival on Twitter of “Katie” Dolatowski, a convicted paedophile who targeted young girls (10 &12 yrs) in public toilets on two separate occasions.

[Murdo Fraser MSP @murdo_fraser]

What an utter disgrace @AmnestyUK is. Once a credible human rights organisation, it has been hijacked by women-hating extremists who will even attack a rape crisis centre. Surely time for @ChtyCommission to investigate?

📣🚨 METROPOLITAN POLICE OFFER UNRESERVED APOLOGY TO GRAHAM LINEHAN AND PAY HIM £25,000

The Metropolitan Police have at long last offered an unreserved apology to Graham Linehan and paid him £25,000.

Last September, the Irish comedian and co-creator of Father Ted was arrested by five armed police officers as he landed at Heathrow Airport.

His crime? Three gender-critical posts on X.

He was arrested, taken to a police station and questioned for several hours. In the early hours of the following morning, he was rushed to hospital after his blood pressure rose to dangerously high levels.

The Free Speech Union is proud to have supported Graham in taking legal action against the Metropolitan Police for wrongful arrest and breaches of his free speech rights.

General Secretary of the Free Speech Union, Lord Young, has said: “I’m beginning to lose count of the number of cases we’ve fought in which the police have arrested someone for a tweet, decided to take no further action and then had to pay them substantial compensation for wrongful arrest.

“At some point you’d think the penny would drop: police our streets, not our tweets.”

While we welcome the Metropolitan Police’s apology and compensation payout to @Glinner, this should never have happened in the first place.

It is high time the police focused on our streets, not our tweets.

[Zac Goldsmith @ZacGoldsmith]

It wasn’t kindness. It was cowardice. No one, other than a minuscule minority of deluded, actually believed the gender mantras.
The Ed Daveys of politics have never believed a woman can have a penis. They merely pretended they did out of a combination of cowardice and (what they thought was, but turned out not to be) opportunism.
They lied about something absolutely basic and fundamental. We know therefore that they will lie about anything.

[Sex Matters @SexMattersOrg]

For Women Scotland has won another important victory against the Scottish Government, forcing it to finally remove all trans-identifying men from the women’s prison estate.

The law is clear: male prisoners do not belong in women’s prisons.

Transgenderism really is the biggest pile of shite to ever crawl itself out of the fucking shite bucket.

It's nothing but male privilege, male aggression, male desire, male fetishism, and it's brainwashed half of the world who think destroying women's rights in the name of men in fucking dresses is progressive.

[Akua Reindorf KC @akuareindorf]

To be quite clear, the protected characteristic in the Equality Act is gender reassignment.

A "trans woman" is a man with the PC of gender reassignment.

He must be treated no less favourably, because of the PC, than other men.

He doesn't have the right to be treated as a woman

[Read some Piaget please! @prof_curiosity1]

If you're a homophobic parent with a 10 yr old effeminate son, you can socially transition him, affirm him as a "trans girl," and push toward puberty blockers or hormones. No prosecution. Often celebrated as "care."

But if your 10 yr old autistic daughter wants blockers and you refuse, seek evidence based therapy first, or pursue watchful waiting? You risk being investigated for a "conversion practice" under this framework.

This is homophobia and rigid sex stereotypes rebranded as progressive protection. Many gender nonconforming children (especially those with autism or same sex attraction) naturally desist and grow up gay. Yet the new orthodoxy treats variation as a medical emergency requiring irreversible steps, while pathologising caution.

Banning genuine abuse is one thing. Weaponising "conversion" laws to shut down parental safeguarding and exploratory therapy for distressed children is something else entirely. The Cass Review warned about weak evidence and rushed affirmation. This bill risks amplifying the very confusion it claims to solve.

[The Free Speech Union @SpeechUnion]

When a Prime Minister resigns, we enter the danger zone as they search for a legacy and introduce poorly drafted legislation.

This week, the Government announced a Conversion Therapy Ban Bill that is so broadly drawn that parents, therapists and even religious leaders could face prosecution for well-intentioned conversations about sex and gender.

Speech is always curtailed in the name of preventing ‘harm’. But stopping parents from talking honestly to their children about the risks of irreversible medical procedures will cause actual, real-world harm. This is a fight we have to win.

✍️ Sign our petition and let Andy Burnham — our likely next Prime Minister — know how you feel about this anti-free speech measure 👇

[Jools @JoolsJuevans]

I'm so sick of badly worded laws. This will be a disaster, you do realise you'll be putting parents in prison who question that their 15 year old girl can't be a boy? You do realise that? It's not about same sex attraction it's putting contested gender ideology into law and it's evil.
