Pretty much, yes.
Amnesty has a clearly identifiable political stance. An organisation like that ought to be agnostic but its alignment with the ‘progressive’ hard left is obvious.
There are other organisations whose assessments of what’s going on in Gaza I would take seriously, but right now, Amnesty’s underlying politics are such that I find it safer to disregard them.
Also, it’s not my interpretation of their stance that’s the issue with regards to so-called ‘trans’ issues. It’s black and white. It campaigns for any person of any age, to have their ‘true’ gender legally recognised. Leaving aside the fact that genderism is from the outset grounded in extremely flaky pseudo-science, that amounts to a charter for the destruction of women’s rights as well as any hope of effective child safeguarding. Amnesty is a mess. Avoid.
