1. More evidence that Helena Kennedy is aware of and supports the global implementation of Principle 31 (YP+10) which calls on States to end the registration of Sex on birth certificates.
2. Helena Kennedy is Co-Secretary General at ILGA World. In 2019 they produced a report citing the YP and YP+10 as 'soft law' and 'human rights law' in many places throughout the report. ecoi.net/en/file/local/…
3. It is worth reading her forward in full and the section on the YP+10.

6. These people know exactly what they are doing and they must be stopped! Share this everywhere and continue to RESIST.
7. For more information on the person who wrote the above 👆 here is an excellent thread by @MForstater on GATE headed by Mauro Cabral Grinspan who was part of the drafting committee is signatory of the YP+10.
1. Boycott them for sure. However brands like Coca Cola (who own #CostaCoffee) & Nike have far too much global reach and power for boycotts against them to be truly effective. The answer is to look at the root & challenge the #PGLE & ESG policies created by #BlackRock & the #WEF
1. Borloz is in the UK. While he seems to hold a 'respectable' position within the UN, his views on "sex" can only be described as those of extreme biology denialism.
He & others who signed the Yogyakarta Principles often discuss their desire to implement sex self-ID into law.
2. However, it is worth noting that they never openly discuss their aim to abolish the recording of "sex" on all official documents including birth certificates.
This is what Principle 31 of YP+10 calls for & as a signatory it is what Borloz endorses.
3. It is clear that Borloz does not wish to draw attention to the fact that he seeks to establish international policy, which would disconnect human beings from their registered birth sex, with profound human rights implications.
Argentina, Australia, Belgium, Brazil, Canada, Chile, Colombia, Cyprus, Denmark, Finland, Germany, Greece, Iceland, India, Ireland, Israel, Luxembourg, Malta, Mexico, Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Portugal, Spain, USA, Uruguay.
2. Lead by Argentina, these 28 states have just made a joint statement at the UN claiming that sex self-ID is an 'international human rights standard'. @RoisinMichaux
3. This is false and there is no obligation for member states to introduce sex self-ID, under any UN Treaty or human rights mechanism. The references they have cited in their statement confirm this fact.
3. If you are not based in the UK please see this thread for info about the UPR and why it is important to get involved. The UN OHCHR website contains information and deadlines for all UN member states.
1.We welcome the review/investigation into #Mermaids by the @TNLComFund & @ChtyCommission. There is evidence suggesting funding was previously awarded to them based partly on falsehoods relating to the Yogyakarta Principles (YP). #MermaidsInvestigation
2. In 2019 a report was produced by TNLCF's Director for Scotland to assist in a review of the decision to award £500K over five years to #Mermaids after concerns were raised. The report claims that YP are legally binding & that all states must comply. tnlcommunityfund.org.uk/media/document…
3. The YP are non-binding as confirmed by the UK Supreme Court. They do not represent 'international best practice'. They promote highly contested ideas such as making sex self ID the law & abolishing references to sex on a newborn child's birth certificate.
1. National consultations & the UN Universal Periodic Review.
States are not required to hold national consultations for the UPR but many do. Make sure your voices are heard & tell them what you think about the human rights situation in your country.
