Amnesty International UK’s latest analysis exposes the scale of anti-trans influence in UK media and maps the rapid rise of anti-trans organisations.

  • Four UK newspapers published 17,000 articles on ‘trans issues’ in five years, averaging 9 articles a day
  • Reporting overwhelmingly excludes trans voices and amplifies anti-trans perspectives
  • ‘Trans issues’ elevated to top-tier political debate, despite low public salience

Posting more as a point of information as no doubt this will be endlessly quoted to show how trans voices are never heard or amplified in UK media!

I'm trying to get my head around this stuff – not least because one of my oldest friends seems to believe it, and I'm seeing her next month.

The Amnesty view seems to be that the only possible explanation for the rapid spread of GC beliefs is a campaign funded by shadowy forces. "This is not happening organically."

And yet the core of GC beliefs is that sexual reproduction in humans is binary. We can see with our own eyes that almost all adult humans come in two varieties – the big ones with cocks and the smaller ones with tits. We are taught in childhood that babies are made when one of each type get together and share bodily fluids. Those who study biology formally may learn that it's more complicated, but they also learn that it's true.

Everything else follows from that. If sex is real and immutable, then we shouldn't be telling kids or vulnerable adults that they can change sex. We should tell them bluntly that extreme body modification will make them into a medical experiment for life. If gender incongruence is only in the mind, then we should consider the possibility that some activist demands may arise from disordered thinking. We should push back kindly but firmly, and ensure rights are balanced.

How could any intelligent person think this is some kind of conspiracy funded by sinister forces? Why would that even be necessary?

Well exactly.

The GC position is one that's been held by decades (and more) by sensible thinking people.

Why they're suggesting it's the GC view that's been manipulated by external forces and not their own - that makes zero sense.

I suspect this is being pushed by a small core of people who know exactly what they're doing and amplified by an army of useful idiots

Amnesty had been a total scam for years. It is no surprise that they are against women having any rights and boundaries.

I stopped supporting them when Amnesty Ireland said Gender Critical feminists should lose access to the media and to political representation. An astonishing thing to say , considering they were set up to represent prisoners of conscience.

They were condemned by Iseult White , whose grandfather Sean MacBride was one of their founders. I call them Amnesia International.

Translation: more and more people are seeing through the lies and obfuscation and are getting fed up with it

I still can’t believe Amnesty are stupid enough to think I AM WHO I SAY I AM is a sensible thing to put on a placard.

It’s a safeguarding nightmare.

It's because they don't think about safeguarding.

What the actual fuck happened to Amnesty?

Every liberal ‘progressive’ institution has been strategically infiltrated / influenced / taken over by men wishing to assert their control over women by preventing our protests against their co-opting a female identity. Every one.

You have to hand it to men (NAMALT™️). The slightest hint of ceding power and they find a new ingenious and more effective means to push their way to the top by stepping on others. (See also, the Republican Party, the oil industry, the techbroligarchy).

I see the gender strategy as operating in parallel to or perhaps part of how a #bekind ‘inclusive’ society must not limit obstruct or judge the flagrant display of men’s fetish behaviour. I’m so tired of it.

It has been a common pattern with key points being missed or ignored in poster’s attempts to challenge the discussion. I used to think it was deliberate but more and more I’m thinking this is a comprehension issue.

I think that's it. As comes up so often on FWR every established organisation, whether media, charity or political has been infiltrated.

Obviously the trans narrative is that they are the victims, but the real issue is how did so many and so easily get captured.

That fact that its taken a few years for some of the population to start saying out loud what the eff is going on?

How come well placed people are starting to say biology isn't real when for centuries, whether through actual lessons or real life experience everyone knew the difference.

Including the vast majority of men who were only too happy to say that biological females are inferior.

Its typical TRA weasel words to make out they are the victims when they are the perpetrators of restricting freedoms.

If I were to say I am a person who is owed a million quid by Amnesty do you think they'd give it to me. 🤭

I also identify as an 'owed a million quid by Amnesty' person. Self-ID, 'I am who I say I am' etc.

Awaits cheque.....
