      Where are the grown ups? [part II] Yesterday @AmnestyUK tweeted its campaign to allow the legal sex of children to be changed https://twitter.com/AmnestyUK/status/1202845125971501058 … It got a lot of comments. Serious comments. Amnesty only responded to one. Yay to @EnbyLawyer @Mermaids_Genderpic.twitter.com/AIjCzDqSsl

      Amnesty are calling for a change in UK law to "allow all trans people to legally register their 'true gender' (incl 'nonbinary') regardless of their age". There are different views on this; child welfare and women's rights and other equality implications

      As a charity that spends £20m a year they could have done some research and thought this through carefully. They could point us to the research paper which underpins their advocacy campaign But they haven't (yet -- if it is there please do Amnesty)

      Instead their statement includes startling claims "Everyone has the right to be who they say they are" Really? 🙄 really? Can you point to the UDRH article please? You can't just go round making up new rights, it undermines the whole idea of rights & you as a serious org!pic.twitter.com/4mkxXcAtPZ

      & the idea that children (& parents) should keep a child's sex secret from GP, hospital, school ... & encourage a growing child to lie about their sex & fear that if others discover it they will do the them harm. How does this reconcile w child welfare & safeguarding Amnesty?pic.twitter.com/77Jjk6nRac

      What is noticeable is that none of @AmnestyUK senior staff @KateAllenAI @tomdavies77 @felixjakens @NiallCouper have tweeted the campaign. Nor has the chair of trustees @eilidhdouglas. Maybe they are unconvinced ?

      Interestingly enough none of them seem to have tweeted Amnesty's earlier position campaigning on changing the Gender Recognition Act self-ID either 🤔https://www.amnesty.org.uk/have-your-say-gender-recognition-act …

      Amnesty's position matched Stonewall's & Mermaids'. "Transwomen are women" There will be no impact on single sex services "There is no evidence from countries implementing a self-determination system that this has had any impact of anyone except trans people themselves. "pic.twitter.com/JLOR7SbEY5

      How did they come to this position? What research did they do? Under the heading "Women's Human Rights" they say..... .... they talked to Stonewall & Mermaids....🤦‍♀️ Doesn't Amnesty know something about women's human rights themself? Why didnt they do any analysis themself?pic.twitter.com/RrJ041NIn3

      Over on Instagram @AmnestyUK is promoting #7daysoftranstruth Not here though, where the crowd is more demanding of evidence & argument To advocate for a major change in the law w implications for womens rights & childrens rights needs better than homilies Discussion is good!pic.twitter.com/9YQaH4sfB2

      The only trustee of @AmnestyUK I have seen tweeting the campaign is @senthorun ("Dr Sparkles" last seen defending Universities deplatforming of Germaine Greer 🙄 https://www.facebook.com/watch/?v=347074782687024 … )

          As a charity whose mandate is to promote human rights as set out in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights @AmnestyUK it is the Trustees' *collective* responsibility to ensure that the charity pursues its purpose. Not take dictation from @Mermaids_Gender or @stonewalluk
