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.

I sense that your politics is the lens through which you view this issue, not the veracity of their findings or the facts on the ground. Either what they report is correct or not. Disregarding their findings because the wider organisation do not align with your political world view is strange at best.
