I asked Amnesty to amend their page which incorrectly listed gender as a protected characteristic under the Equality Act. This is their reply. It is really a dangerous cult
Dear Alessandra,
Trans rights are human rights and Amnesty International stands unequivocally for trans rights. We live in a society that is more likely to discriminate and commit violence against transgender people, so we are proud to stand with them here in the UK and everywhere around the world.
For trans people having their gender legally recognised is essential to live freely, authentically and openly. We support reforming the Gender Recognition Act, which you can read more about here; www.amnesty.org.uk/we-support-reforming-gender-recognition-act
We dispute your assertion that championing the rights of transgender people affects women. Restricting the rights of transgender people will not advance or protect women’s rights. Our campaigning is based on Amnesty’s research on legal gender recognition in multiple countries and on existing human rights standards. It also draws from our long-standing work on violence against women and its root causes. We invite you to read more about our work on gender identity issues here:

We will have to agree to disagree.
