I bet none of them have spent the time considering the implications of the adoption of gender ideology on women & children's human rights that @jk_rowling has
Yesterday a young staff member of @RFKHumanRights was on here saying how JKR's statements "go against everything we stand for as an organisation, saying how it was "the youth" that had brought it up and that the board had been slow to move.
We got into conversation when I asked for their reasoning about whether there was any legitimate conflict of rights.
I got back the 13 word mantra "Trans women are women etc.. ....analysis done!"
He also called me a TERF and told me to "sit down dear"
(He later privately apologised for "TERF" after I explained that it is a slur associated with threats of violence against women)
We talked, and he said such things as "sex is assigned at birth" and "gender is a social construct"
I've blanked his name out because he has put his account on private, and because this isn't really about this one young staff member's lack of argument.
It is about the organisation that says #speaktruthtopower condemning JKR for speaking up for women's rights.
Kerry Kennedy's statement suggests that the senior leadership and trustees @RFKHumanRights have not engaged with the issues but have been strong armed into a position.
I bet most of the people on the board are in some agreement with JKR's nuanced and compassionate view about sex and gender identity.
Serious people, serious organisations need to step up, do their job, make space for serious debate.
On March 13 2024 I made a complaint to the Judicial Conduct Investigations Office about Master McCloud, a serving judge who has been engaging publicly and inappropriately in debates on sex and gender.
