Midwest Chick's Place

Amnesty International decided to take on J.K. Rowling. Actually, I’m pretty sure they didn’t know they were doing it, or they might have just left well enough alone. Because they are out of their league.

What did they do?

The other day, the human rights organization made the very bad choice to list Beira’s Place, a women’s rape crisis shelter, as well as For Women Scotland and the Gay Men’s Network, as hate groups.

Why the hell did they put out a ‘report’ that called Beira’s Place and the other groups ‘hate groups’?

Because they believe in the gender binary, Beira’s Place only allows biological women to use its services. Gone are the days when Amnesty lobbied to protect political prisoners. Instead, they’re now pushing to abuse women and punish gays and lesbians who don’t bend the knee to the radical trans agenda.

Beira’s Place was started by J.K. Rowling. Whose opinion of the trans agenda is well known.

They released the Kraken.

We act for Beira’s Place, a sexual violence support service for women across Edinburgh and the Lothians. Our client has supported hundreds of women who have experienced sexual violence in the course of their life.

As a human rights organisation, Amnesty International UK (“Amnesty/You”) will be well aware that there is an epidemic of violence against women and girls. You will also be aware that the vast majority of violence against women and girls is perpetrated by men and that for women, recovery from sexual trauma is achieved in a women only setting.

The Equality Act 2010 recognises that it is a basic right for women to have access to single sex paces to recover from sexual violence. Beria’s Place supports all women, regardless of their gender identity. For the avoidance of doubt, and as clarified by the decision of the Supreme Court in the case of For Women Scotland v. Scottish Ministers, whether someone is a woman is determined by their biological sex.

Amnesty Report

On 8 July Amnesty published a report entitled “A growing threat; the anti-rights movement in the UK” (“the Report”).

Page 20 of the Report erroneously and maliciously categorises our client as an “anti-rights organisation” said to be targeting the rights of women and LGBT+ people in the UK. The Report accuses our client of having the aim of restricting “human rights by undermining human rights protections in law and practice.” Furthermore the Report claims at page 4 that organisations including our client “seek to weaken existing human rights protections and prevent further progress.“

To suggest that our client, which supports some of the most vulnerable women in society, is “anti-rights,” is “targeting the rights of women or LGBT+ people,” or is seeking to “weaken existing human rights protections” is grossly offensive and entirely without foundation.

The report has been withdrawn, at least for now but Rowling et al are putting the screws on and will not let up.

Organizations such as Amnesty International, the Southern Poverty Law Center, anything associated with the UN, the ACLU, the National Organization for Women, etc. have all passed their sell-by dates. They exist only to gin up controversy and call anyone who does not bow to the liberal agenda names.

They all need to be defunded and disbanded.
