Rattling the can
Amnesty International still intent on destroying women’s rights.
Trans people should have the same human rights as everyone else has. There are no special rights for trans people. Nobody has a right to be constantly affirmed as a planet or a porcupine or trapped in the wrong body. Men who pretend to be women are a threat to women’s rights in too many ways to list.
It’s interesting how careful Amnesty is not to spell out these purported rights that have been dealt a blow. What rights? There is no right for men to use women’s spaces or take jobs reserved for women or accept prizes for women or force people to call them women.
Trump on the one hand, Amnesty on the other. Bad times today.
There’s a bad moon on the rise.
(Also: clowns to the left of me, jokers to the right. This one is my current theme song.)
Oh, I dunno. It transmogrifies into the question: who is the dumbest? Amnesty appears to be flushing its reputation straight down the gurgler, so it gets my vote; while at the same time admitting that Trump is always a pretty formidable contender.
This prompted me to find out which country is actually number one on the Europe LGBTI Equality Index, and I found the whole list here. The answer is: Malta (which I wouldn’t have guessed). [That notwithstanding, I’d love to visit Malta!] Number two is Belgium, followed by Iceland and Denmark.
