‘Can’t believe they’re going after Amnesty’ say the people who went after a rape crisis centre for women.

[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.

A "transbian" is nothing but a straight man who watched too much lesbian porn.

A "trans gay man" is nothing but a straight woman who consumed too much yaoi and gay romance

if only there was a word for humans with vaginas 😔 someone should think of one 😔

[Andrew Doyle @andrewdoyle_com]

One of the most deranging aspects of our times is that sensible people are obliged to restate basic facts over and over again.

[J.K. Rowling @jk_rowling]

I hope everyone reads the report. Nothing could better demonstrate how far Amnesty has fallen than their demonisation of gay rights charities for refusing to adopt Amnesty’s approved gender beliefs, or their attack on a rape crisis centre because it is run by women, for women.

[Lin 🇫🇮 @Lfromthenorth]

No, you're expected to not be a fucking predator and to stay out of women's spaces.

The bar is on the fucking floor 🙄

[James Dreyfus @DreyfusJames]

Probably worth bearing in mind that other religions are available, whose views on homosexuality remain far more worrisome than anything she believed.

She had many gay friends, who didn’t necessarily agree with her on everything, but were intelligent enough to understand that mild disapproval, due to her religious convictions, was NOT a barrier to years of friendship, laughter & mutual admiration.

[ViragoWomensWorkshop @ViragoWomen]

It's been brought to our attention that @AmnestyUK have honoured us with a place on their "hate list" alongside other evil entities such as lesbian groups and dv refuges.
We would like to thank everyone who has made this journey possible, and my mum&dad, husband,kids #SoProud

[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?

[Dennis Noel Kavanagh @Jebadoo2]

It's supposed to be a principle of charity regulation that one charity should not attack another. Don't suppose the Commission might consider actually doing something about this stupidity.

[Graham Linehan @Glinner]

So @amnesty have listed @beirasplace as a hate group.

It's a rape crisis centre

How the fuck are they still a registered charity?

[Nora @NoraTheBora]

Ann Widdecombe has possibly been murdered, and @SkyNews thinks it’s appropriate to have a man discussing whether she was a virgin.

Why would whether a woman had ever had penetrative sex be relevant to her possible murder?

He then went on to speculate, on mainstream media, that it was a robbery gone wrong rather than politically motivated. That may ultimately prove to be the case, but speculation about motive before the facts are established has no place in responsible news coverage.

The first instinct when discussing a woman who may have been murdered should never be to reduce her to her sexual history. Ann Widdecombe deserved better. Every woman deserves better.

[Dennis Noel Kavanagh @Jebadoo2]

Oh look. Amnesty have had another think.

Bad luck guys.

You still published it.

Expect a letter from Gay Men's Network this weekend.

[For Women Scotland @ForWomenScot]

“FWS is only ‘anti-rights’ if you don’t consider women to be entitled to any rights in law or public life. It’s a sad state of affairs that Amnesty has sunk so low as to defame prominent women’s organisations, including a rape crisis centre and support networks for abused wives and children."

Ruth Hunt once disgracefully lied to a room full of people and said 50% of children denied puberty blockers attempted suicide.

That alone should frankly disqualify her from public life. She is a key architect of the gender ideology movement in the UK and an absolute disgrace.

[Adam Carter @adammcarter]

And there it is in black and white.

Remember when the Pride in London account said this? I do.

'Who does it hurt if we make every space mixed-sex?'
This is who it hurts: the most vulnerable, those without power and influence, the invisible people politicians don't bother to consider when chasing likes and photo ops. If this girl or an adult acting on her behalf wants to take legal action, contact https://t.co/EQnwivL9hW

[J.K. Rowling @jk_rowling]

Scottish taxpayers, against the vast majority’s will, funded an attempt by the government to keep men in women’s prisons. Never have I been so tempted to move to Monaco and give all the money I’ve been paying in tax to groups fighting the rank misogyny of Swinney’s government.
