JKR and her new org apparently helped get the new Amnesty International report on how TERF organizations destroy lives taken down from their site. Well, guess what? The Streisand Effect is real. Here's the entire report in a thread. Read it. Share it.

Amnesty International put out a major report documenting the influence of UK based anti trans gender critical organizations and their funding. Within hours, GC groups threatened defamation lawsuits and Amnesty was forced to pull it down. Proving the point they're anti rights. Anyways, here it is.

"If all of these industries are so essential to the healthy functioning of the Irish economy, then why does the Irish economy feel so terrible for so many people? The whole trade-off of building your economy around such awful things is that at least the economy is supposed to be good." New column!

The Justice Minister said bio identification is something he will introduce in the future; he envisages a system whereby gardaí can match a face against a database of "tens of thousands of individuals" and get a name back. "Biometric analysis" is different, he says: no database, no name
