Labour is now committed to its section 28 on steroids Let’s remember: section 28 was a horrendous law that intimidated teachers and others, suppressed the dissemination of information about homosexuality. It was homophobic and it was awful. But it did not create a criminal offence. It did not prescribe penalties. The Labour Party’s draft bill to ban “conversion practices” is also homophobic. It also sets out to suppress the dissemination of information. But it is far, far worse than section 28 It will criminalize a parent who says: “No, you’re a boy. Maybe you’re gay. That’s fine: Let’s get you some therapy to explore the causes of your distress.” It will criminalize a parent who says “No, I refuse to pay for binders, blockers, testosterone. You’re a girl. It’s fine to be a lesbian.” Such conversations may cause extreme distress. The minor may call them abusive. We’re talking about a criminal offence of refusing to allow your child to take harmful drugs. Of suggesting she might be a lesbian - not a boy. Of refusing to go along with her insistent demands. ***With a potential 5-year prison sentence.•*** Let’s stop Labour’s Section 28! We will not accept this latest iteration of anti gay and anti lesbian legislation - however well it is dressed up to look “progressive.”

We also emailed @amnesty last week following their libellous characterisation of LWD & other feminist, LGB, parent & clinician orgs as 'anti rights', on the basis of us being 'gender critical' or promoting 'conversion practices'. This latter accusation is particularly egregious given the govt's recent publication of a badly drafted CP Ban Bill which would criminalise the concerns of parents & feminists like ourselves who oppose the harms to young people of puberty blockers & "gender affirming" care. Along with @LesbianLabour & @LabourLGB, we are socialists & feminists who reject the sexist stereotypes of the gender identity politics which has, sadly, crept into much of the left & parts of the @UKLabour party. All polling shows we reflect the views of the majority of Labour members & voters - and, probably, of Amnesty supporters too. We await with interest Amnesty's prompt reply to our letter...

Lots of people assume the nutty Amnesty UK report was produced by a young intern. In fact it was written by Chiara Capraro, Gender Justice Programme Director at Amnesty International UK. She has been expressing these deranged views in writing and interviews for some time. But this latest “report”/“briefing” is so outrageous that it has for the first time provoked widespread condemnation and disgust.

Thoughtful Therapists@ThoughtfulTs·
Amnesty International chose to potentially libel Thoughtful Therapists as a 'conversion practices' group, along with many women's rights and LGB organisations, in their report 'A Growing Threat': web.archive.org/web/2026070908… Please see our response to Amnesty

Chiara Capraro has now locked down her account on X and seems to have disappeared from LinkedIn. She has been writing defamatory rubbish for Amnesty UK for ages but she finally crossed a line and can’t retreat from here.

@XXtheSpot @Jebadoo2 @nmdacosta Nope. Chiara Capraro is not a student. She is the Gender Justice Programme Director, she is in her forties, and she has been writing this kind of crap for ages.

A reminder to those calling this photograph "upskirting": this was a public event; it was videoed; Fred knew that; he's facing the video camera here; and the video is still available on YouTube. This photograph is hardly what revealed Fred's upper-thigh fat to the world.

Sadly, Fred's refusing to debate me. To prove I have no hard feelings, and that Fred does engage with some lucky women, here's a picture of him debating @HJoyceGender. I hear he left an indelible impression on the audience. And the chair.

@suzanne_moore Yes, it reached a level of ridiculousness that ignited a collective fury.

You know what this idiotic Shamnesty report has brought out on X? A wondrous solidarity between all kinds of women and our allies. There is nothing more threatening to the establishment than the grassroots organising of women and yes these fools ARE the establishment.

@eleanor_leech Given that this is the first time her nonsense has prompted such a furious, widespread backlash, that’s not so surprising!

@C_scip @sappholives83 Chiara Capraro is not an Intern. She is the Gender Justice Programme Director of Amnesty UK. She is in her forties.

@sappholives83 Nothing will happen. They'll blame it on some intern and move on. Amnesty has been in the deep pockets of pro prostituion and trans lobby for years now.

The LGB Alliance poses a direct threat to trans people. They weaponise LGB people and our rights to justify attacks on trans people’s rights. Their leadership repeatedly promotes transphobic rhetoric online & aligns itself with openly homophobic people. They do not speak for us.
LGB Alliance@AllianceLGB

LGB Alliance have written to Amnesty UK about its bizarre report “A Growing Threat: The Anti-Rights Movement in the UK”. We look forward to their prompt response.

@GyllKing @ThomasWillett9 Also doesn’t even live in the UK, set up the “charity” then left to the Netherlands. Thats the thing about anti rights groups, they leave to make sure their policies never affect them personally

Human rights depend on truth. Today Genspect sent a formal legal letter to Amnesty International UK challenging its false allegations that we promote "conversion practices" and are part of an "anti-rights" movement. We have requested the withdrawal of these claims and a full explanation of the evidence relied upon.
