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Those who've been defamed are owed an explanation of why Amnesty claimed to have withdrawn the report because of its 'language' when, per @thetimes article, it had already expressed exactly the same beliefs, in the same language, months previously.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.'
3/ Making lists of political enemies is the sort of activity Amnesty used to actively and admirably campaign against, now it does precisely that. Further, the "report" in question counsels unlawful belief discrimination by regulators and funding bodies.
2/ Amnesty has absolutely no right to dictate what political opinions gay men may or may not hold on gender ideology. It has no right to "evidence launder" a list of dissent lesbian and gay groups as targets for opprobrium or public condemnation.
1/ Amnesty International chose to libel the Gay Men's Network as an "anti-rights" group along with several LBG organisations. We object to NGOs who espouse gender ideology misusing their formidable funding and influence in this fashion and we are seeking a formal apology.
Sabíais que, según @amnesty, la brutal opresión que sufren las mujeres y las niñas en Afganistán se debe a que ellas mismas se identifican como niñas?
A los traidores a las mujeres, ni agua. Corta el grifo y no financies esta mierda.
El Orgullo nació para combatir la discriminación, no para blanquear una práctica basada en la disponibilidad reproductiva de las mujeres. La explotación no se celebra.
La emancipación nunca ha consistido en que el oprimido altere su propio cuerpo o su naturaleza para escapar del yugo (dejar de ser negro o dejar de nacer mujer).
La emancipación consiste en destruir el sistema social que usa esa característica para oprimir.
OK so “queer” was reclaimed. It went from a slur - to a political slogan - to a broadened identity - to a market - to a HUGE industry. The first rule of markets is expansion, and I have seen the expansion firsthand, and the cynicism behind it in my industry; the music industry. As long as a market is expanding, it is very hard to to fight its negative effects. While the money is pouring in nobody wants to critique it, even its worst excesses, even authoritarianism and child safeguarding get a slide.

-Entrevistador: todos deberíamos ser comprensivos con las personas trans.
-@Martina: Somos muy comprensivas. Pero ¿qué pasa con las mujeres y las niñas [obligadas a competir contra hombres]?
Je suis née sous contrat. Vendue avant même d’avoir un prénom.
J’ai grandi avec une douleur sourde, invisible aux autres.
Aujourd’hui, je parle, et je me battrai jusqu’à ce que plus aucun enfant ne vive ça.
La gestation pour autrui n’est ni un acte d’amour, ni un choix libre.
C’est un marché. Une industrie qui exploite les femmes et commercialise les enfants.
Derrière chaque contrat, il y a une mère effacée. Un bébé transformé en produit.
Merci à @todonoticias (Argentine) d’avoir relayé mon témoignage. Ce n’est pas mon histoire qu’il faut retenir, mais l’alerte qu’elle représente. Parce que ce que j’ai vécu, des milliers d’enfants et de femmes le subissent aujourd’hui, dans le silence et l’indifférence.
