Amnesty International and the GRA consultation

[JamPasty]

Please tell me I'm not mad in being fucked off about this. Amnesty International appears to be supporting self-ID!

I really respect their work and have until now totally trusted their judgement on things. How in fuck can they support this erosion of women's rights?

Might be worth adding to one of these as there's quite a lot of information and discussion.

They've always supported it.
Even had Shon "Enjoy ur erasure" Faye presenting "Amnesty Women's awards" rather than a woman.

Amnesty has been a joke since it decided to support pimps

I'm concerned that Jess Phillips MP was meeting Amnesty instead of going to the WUPK/FPFW/TG meeting in Westminster.

Thanks everyone - sorry I missed the other threads on this - I was just so bloody furious
