Amnesty International what has happened to you?

I find this sort of obvious untruth makes me doubt the truth of what Amnesty is saying and campaigning for in countries whose politics I do not fully understand and therefore rely on others for. I don’t like feeling sceptical because I think that is the route to turning a blind eye to the suffering of others. But why would they be truthful about (eg) Iran and Afghanistan if they are dishonest about the U.K.? They damage their cause by being so blatantly dishonest, biased and partisan on this issue.

Ridiculous!
"Poor healthcare"?
I'm sure everyone throughout the world claims "poor healthcare" whether through costs or waiting lists, but it would certainly SEEM as if the NHS was doing everything in its power to help trans ppl.

Someone in some kind of pleather jerkin?

Yes, that's what's puzzling me, too. Can't work it out at all.

Amnesty has been ridiculous on this issue for years, so that part is no surprise.

I just don't believe this claim that they face violence, discrimination and poor healthcare.
Almost every corporation, government dept, council, NHS dept, shop and service in this country are currently waving their flags?!
Amnesty are trolling women who really do face violence, discrimination and poor healthcare.
Something is wrong here - the Charities Commission should investigate.

You'd think Amnesty would understand about the separation of powers.

You haven't been paying attention if you think this is a recent trajectory by Amnesty. Google Gita Sahgal - she was the woman they threw under the bus for religious fundamentalists. All the way back in 2010.

Surely there is an equivalent to a trading standards body to deal with this kind of misinformation?

I’m confused by the accompanying image. What is it meant to portray?

Apart from the fact that it is inaccurate, it is really alarmist. Trans people are treated as if they are made of glass and are constantly being told that they are the most marginalised and persecuted group in existence. Seeing this type of messaging all the time really won't help.

The law is the law, and other people have rights too. We will never be able to have a sensible discussion about this whilst organisations like Amnesty keep carrying on like this.

If they're not happy with the law, instead of talking about what baddies the Supreme Court judges are, why don't they lobby parliament to change it?

FFS you would think a proper organisation / charity ought to get things correct. No-one is targeting trans people, certainly not the government — and the Supreme Court isn’t the government anyway, even if it was!

I’m so sick of this climate where activist organisations seem to think it’s OK to misrepresent reality and facts, and instead just put out hyperbole, scaremongering nonsense and downright untruths. We wouldn’t put up with it on any other issue, so why is it so prevalent on this one? (Transperbole strikes again…)
