Amnesty International says UK anti‑rights report prompted legal threats tied to J.K. Rowling
She probably wants to bankrupt Amnesty International just to send a message that if anyone criticizes any gender critical organization in the UK, she will personally use her billions to bankroll lawfare to destroy them. This is about silencing any and all dissent to her transphobic views.
Alejandra Caraballo496In doing this, Rowling may accomplish what countless dictators and genocidal regimes have been unable to do, destroy a human rights organization dedicated to holding those abusing human rights to account. The key difference is that the authoritarianism is coming from Amnesty's own country.
DaVoin Shower-Handle1And yet we're told to believe it's all those scary trans and LGBTQ people that's ruling the world when the complete opposite is happening right in front of our eyes.
Cassandra of Troy1Transmisic views. They are way beyond phobia.
Cowudi 🍉🐺🐻🐙🌿🌍🌎1wow, I think tjere was a carácter in one of her books intent of eliminating creatueres ( and punishing whomever suporte them) just because of tjey were different... I am unable to remember what happened to her character...
Sofia Kirke Forslund-Startceva6Any one of you who directly or indirectly contribute to her gaining royalties? No matter how "nostalgic" you feel about Harry Potter, you are literally paying for the elimination of people like me. I might not tell you to your face, but how can I not judge that, in the turmoil/stillness of my heart?
Uncle Fella David of Oz (🇺🇸)3JK Rowling trying to destroy Amnesty International really seals the deal on her being a fascist sociopath. Anyone who supports her please unfollow or even block me. If you post about Harry Potter please know you’re helping her hurt trans folks. No IP is worth the damage she is doing.
Were I an incredibly rich author I would simply live my life in a way that meant I did not have to send legal threats to Amnesty International.
Apples n Spice12All of the actors involved in her projects since she became a notorious bigot deserve the reputational hit because what do you mean you are helping her profit from this hate?
Kate Elliott9it's baffling to me, utterly baffling
Helen Rose Thwaite8If she were to expire tomorrow, the comments would be in the vein of those marking Graham's passing ie a world away from that of Neill's. I know which camp I'd rather be in.
Cyber Spice (Wapentake of Upper Skyrack)3Way before she was funding and speaking like she does she had written a novel where one of the characters was a nasty bigoted stereotype of a trans woman. But then in the wizard books she has the nasty bigoted stereotype jewish type characters and the nasty bigoted stereotype chinese character..
Hesper Leveret 🐇2Oh no what has jkr done now
Cyber Spice (Wapentake of Upper Skyrack)1Mouldemort funds so much hate!
This will make global headlines. Threatening legal action against a human rights org that has successfully released hundreds of political prisoners, been instrumental in abolishing the death penalty in 100 countries, had countless human rights wins, esp for women, is not a good look for UK GCs.
Luna 🌙🏴☠️15Sadly it won't leave a mark, people who hate TERFs already know they're the worst of the worst, people who don't hate TERFs will believe what the media does (and does not) tell them, they will be silent on this or frame it as a woke-agenda pro-pedo attack on "real" women
Lying8Fun tidbit: Amnesty International has been defending human rights, including those of women, for longer than Joanne Rowling has been alive.
elizabeth is actually wearing sunscreen6Yes but in the uk it will be ignored
Diamanda Hagan6That assumes the world gives a fuck about trans people. Sorry feeling fatalistic.
Sophie Rebecca 🏳️⚧️🩰6I wish that were true, sadly I feel like this will barely be covered at all.
Sobekhotep 🐊6Unfortunately, mainstream media seems to be ignoring this, and the few that are reporting on it, like Newsweek, are framing it in support of Rowling.
Amnesty International put out a report called "The Growing Threat of Anti-Rights Organizations in the UK". It included a number of "gender critical" organizations threatening trans people. JKR threatened to bankrupt them, so they retracted it. www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/mafq8...
rahaeli48She's still threatening to bankrupt them. Nothing in this report is false. The "gender critical" movement is an anti-human-rights movement, and a billionaire fascist with expensive solicitors in the UK's plaintiff-friendly defamation climate can't change this fact. www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/mafq8...
Darius Baktash2Ooh, I wonder if this could be done in a monthly auto post! Maybe with a randomly generated phrasebook to describe how mildewed her soul has become?
Jon Stout1😞 What the hell is wrong with that woman?
Amnesty International UK @amnestyuk.bsky.social does essential work to fight for human rights. Now is a really good time to support them: donate.amnesty.org.uk
nadiawithaboringj.bsky.social3Does it? Evidence today suggests they fold at the first legal letter from a hack kiddies author.
paul2I'm very disappointed their anti-rights list was withdrawn immediately following legal bullying from JK Rowling. If they'd stood by it I'd have happily donated to a fighting fund.
I see we're at the "arguing with Amnesty International" stage of being a piece of shit.
