This is one of the things that scares me most about AI. Its literally a drug. Its designed to suck you off at every possible opportunity. Even a little bit of use for "research" can quickly spiral into full blown psychosis.

They'll rape us anyways, so better to ring the bells than stay silent. Thank you for your continued courage when facing such rogues, Ethel. Solidarity, always!

J.K. Rowling posted an upskirting photo of a trans woman to her 13.7 million followers in retaliation for said woman refusing to unblock her on Twitter. In response, Gina Martin — lead campaigner behind the UK's 2019 upskirting laws — came out in support of Rowling's victim, Freda Wallace.

The email from Amnesty International UK is even more gaslighting than their public statement… 😖 Including ‘gender critical’ transphobic tropes such as “rolling back women’s hard won rights” and treating trans people with “dignity”! F*ck them!!! 😖😣 Donation cancelled.

AMNESTY INTERNATIONAL Dear Lead Activist As you may well have seen, Amnesty International UK recently made a public apology for the publication of the briefing "A growing threat: the anti-rights movement in the UK". This document should never have been published, and full responsibility for this error rests with Amnesty International UK.The briefing was taken down shortly after publication, was not actively promoted, and will not be republished. We have an ongoing internal investigation into how this briefing came to be published. As part of this process, we have also withdrawn an earlier more discursive briefing, "Like a Snowball," which similarly referenced a wide range of organisations. AIUK holds itself to the highest standards of research, evidence and editorial oversight in all its publications. We have concluded that this briefing does not meet those standards. We will commission an independent external review to learn from this moment to ensure our work meets the high standards expected of us and of the wider Amnesty movement.Amnesty International UK is deeply committed to our work on gender justice. We are committed to the rights of all women and all girls the world over who face multiple and increasing attempts to roll back their hard won rights. We are committed to the rights of all trans people, in the UK and globally, as their fundamental human rights, dignity and very existence comes under sustained attack. Our commitment to the idea that all people should be safe from gender-based violence, oppression, discrimination and hatred remains emphatic and absolute. It is my mission as CEO to defend the idea that rights belong equally to everyone, to build bridges and synergies in a world where divisions are becoming both deeper and more entrenched.We know that this will be disappointing, frustrating and upsetting for our supporters, members and activists and for this, too, we apologise without reservation. We know that you champion and represent the organisation, put your trust in its outputs, and rightly have high expectations of our research and our actions. We commit to listening, learning from our mistakes, and ensuring AIUK remains a fearless champion for human rights and universal equality. Yours sincerely Kerry Kerry Moscogiuri Chief Executive Amnesty International 🇬🇧

Had to remove the post sharing the fundraising video as Paypal has suddenly decided that it would lock my account and demand I use my pre-2017 number in spite of me having updated it several times. Will have to call tomorrow to try and get it unlocked. Thankfully there was nothing in there. 1/2

1. In an incredible new landmark review, the Health Council of the Netherlands has declared that gender-affirming care for trans youth works, reducing wait times is "morally urgent," and regret is rare. It is the latest of many Euro countries to advance care. Subscribe to support our journalism.

Landmark Official Dutch Review Recommends Trans Youth Care, Call For Expanding Treatment

The review finds that wait times must be shortened, that few people detransition, and that trans youth care has enormous benefits.

Biologist here (zoologist specifically)! This is a really good example of junk science being used to push a political pseudoscientific agenda. Even ignoring that the piece is absolutely filled beginning to end with fallacies and even actual factually incorrect statements, it also doesn’t even 1/2

In a new #Viewpoint we argue that the binary definition of #BiologicalSex based on gamete size is a scientifically robust framework that is entirely compatible with the diversity of sexual phenotypes and human gender identities. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...
