Amnesty International bows down to UK TERFs

@Natasha_Jay wow who got to them?
@celeduc nobody "got to them." They're just showing their true colours. IOW, it's more important to not rock the boat than to stand up for people's rights, so they self-censor.
There's a LOT of that going around. Welcome to end-stage capitalism.
-
@jerrej @Natasha_Jay Not really. They say that after they say that anti-trans organisations aren't "anti rights".
Thank you for this clarification. I assume now that they had to backtrack for some reason, which reason isn't readily obvious from the OP or the linked article.

@Natasha_Jay@tech.lgbt has anyone an archive.org link to the original statement they now redacted and unpublished?

Reminder: long before she started being a writer, Amnesty International was employing a certain J.K. Rowling. Do with that information as you will. -

@Natasha_Jay To be honest, they bow to any lobby big enough to put their money at risk.

@jerrej @diffrentcolours @Natasha_Jay I've seen enough people making an apology post COMPLETELY VOLUNTARILY AND IN NO WAY RELATED TO ANY THREAT BY J.K. ROWLING'S LEGAL TEAM to recognize one when I see it.

@Natasha_Jay Human rights, but only for the right humans.

@jerrej @diffrentcolours @Natasha_Jay
tl'dr j.k. rowling promised to fund any effort by any org offended by the cited report if they sued AIUK about it. even if AIUK won the lawsuits they could have been potentially bankrupted.
sadly I do not think this move will save them from the lawsuits.

@Natasha_Jay I've been told the threat of JKR and her boundless Potter wealth is behind this about turn. Hopefully, others here can confirm?

@SiegeFeathers @cve @Natasha_Jay Thanks for this weblink. Before I noticed this comment I did a long search and found the pdf file on some Christian UK site
: https://www.christian.org.uk/wp-content/uploads/Report_-_A_growing_threat__the_anti-rights_movement_in_the_UK_July_2026.pdf The file size is different but when I convert both files to dot txt files the content regarding the words looks exactly the same. -
