But they are antirights Barbara, no matter how much you like them because they dont agree with you. If there was a charity intending to protect "race based rights" such as not being visited by a black doctor they would rightly be labelled as antirights. Why not anti trans orgs? Because you agree?

Interesting analysis on why Amnesty got it right when calling Beria’s Place and anti-rights organisation.

Als je naar Harry Potter kijkt, denk er dan even aan dat je iemand financieert die Amnesty International wil ruïneren met SLAPP rechtzaken.

Of course, Fifth Circuit being Fifth Circuit, this could just be the usual Federalist Society antirights dance, but the principle holds: you can no longer assume good faith in any decision that makes zero sense.

Scottish Daily Mail, not the English one
Rowling rape support centre brands Amnesty’s anti-rights accusation ‘deeply offensive’ Scottish Daily Mail14 Jul 2026By Lettice Bromovsky Centre founder: JK Rowling JK Rowling’s women-only rape support centre has hit back after being branded an ‘antirights organisation’ by Amnesty International, describing the claim as ‘deeply offensive’. Beira’s Place, the Edinburgh-based service founded by the Harry Potter author in 2022 to support female survivors of male violence, issued its first public response after Amnesty was forced to remove its report, A Growing Threat: The Anti-Rights Movement in the UK, due to the growing backlash.

"Stand Up For Freedom (Unless You're Trans Because We Care More About Not Getting Sued By Bigots Than Actually Supporting Human Rights)"
Amnesty International report: "A growing threat: the anti-rights movement in the UK" "Executive Summary: To understand the rise of an anti-rights movement targeting the rights of women and LGBT+ people in the UK, it is important to situate it within the broader context of a general deterioration in human rights protections1. Successive governments have introduced legislation that severely restricts the rights to protest and freedom of assembly and have passed increasingly restrictive immigration and asylum laws that raise concerns about the UK's compliance with its international legal obligations. In addition, in the context of Brexit and the political and media narrative of ‘taking back control’, there have been repeated attempts to replace the Human Rights Act with a British Bill of Rights, alongside ongoing calls from some politicians for the UK to withdraw from the European Convention on Human Rights. Since 2010, repeated cuts to social security and chronic underinvestment in public services have undermined economic and social rights. Changes to tax and social security policies have disproportionately affected women, particularly racialised women and single mothers." "The UK has also experienced a significant decline in protections for LGBT+ rights, falling from 1st to 22nd place in ILGA-Europe’s annual Rainbow Map between 2015 and 2026. Key factors contributing to this decline include the failure to reform the legal gender recognition framework, the absence of a ban on conversion practices, the treatment of LGBT+ asylum seekers, and the implications of the Supreme Court judgment in For Women Scotland Ltd v The Scottish Minister. In July 2025, Amnesty International UK released a study of 65 anti-rights groups in the UK, 32 of which spent £106 million from 2019 to 2023, a rise of more than a third. These actors were divided into categories based on their primary interest or characteristic; however, the distinctions between categories are often blurred. For example, the Christian Institute is classified as an ultra-conservative Christian policy and advocacy organisation, but its work encompasses abortion, trans rights, education and other issues. These organisations form part of a wider anti-rights ecosystem—a network of groups that work on different issues but share similar goals and often support each other's efforts to roll back human rights protections. The 2025 study showed that the biggest spenders are UK branches of US groups, including Alliance Defending Freedom (ADF UK), which played a pivotal role in overturning Roe v Wade in the US and continues to challenge the rights of women and LGBT+ people worldwide. Investigative reporters have shown how ADF's influence in the UK is growing and highlighted its close ties to the Trump administration. This briefing is an update of the findings published in July 2025 and includes gender-critical organisations, which were examined in detail in a separate briefing published in May 2026." "This is a fast-moving environment, therefore the report provides a snapshot of the UK antirights ecosystem at the end of June 2026. The financial information available is expected to be an underestimate and likely represents only a fraction of the resources available to antirights actors in the UK. Methodology: The research for this report took place between April and June 2026, following newly released financial accounts for the 2024 fiscal year. It is not easy and probably not possible to fully track all funding for anti-rights organisations in the UK. However, the report presents an estimate of their resources by analysing publicly available financial records. Analysis of the available accounts showed that some organisations spend more each year than they receive in income because they draw on financial reserves. This means that annual income figures alone can understate the resources and potential influence of these organisations. In addition, income figures are not disaggregated by activity. As a result, the research focused on spending as the key metric. Examining spending also showed, for certain organisations, the proportion of expenditure dedicated to policy and advocacy activities."

And since you are in THIS fucked up reality with us, it boggles the mind that you still hold that "in no reality" idiotic position.

There were 2 choices.

1 = every fucking antidemocracy/antirights/antisanity thing we see now, most of which we knew was a definite possibility in 2024

2 = Not that

Disinformation & #AntiRights attacks threaten #Albania’s Draft Law on Gender Equality!

Removing protections for gender identity would undermine EU alignment & human rights progress.

The recent US election is part of what's emboldening these antirights actors but far from the whole story.
The global rise and increased power and funding of anti-rights actors is deep-rooted, very organised and intentional. As is their co-option of language and spaces for #humanrights. #srhr

"The rhetoric against sexual and reproductive health and rights is increasing. We are hearing harmful narratives around ‘family systems’ and ‘traditional values’ and pro-natal narratives are emerging which are extremely dangerous.”

You might have missed it, but Amazon warehouse workers in Raleigh, NC are voting this week on whether to form a union.

If they win, they'll be the first unionized Amazon facility in the South.

Remember that we can always find hope in the labor movement.

Defending #childrights is not separate from defending democracy — it’s central to it. Across Europe, child rights organisations face shrinking funding, political hostility, and #antirights movements.

so yeah maybe we need to ask why JoKe Tro(w)lling is rather uptight about rights, but there might be a Streisand effect to be had here.

The new EU Civil Society Strategy brings progress- stronger protection for rights defenders, better CSO engagement & fairer funding.

But gaps remain: children's rights lack dedicated focus and meaningful participation must be enforced

Proud to represent @felgtbi.bsky.social at the IDAHOT+ Forum in Copenhagen.

Simple narratives are key to draw average citizen's attention and support, but CSO also need a solid and stable funding to refute the well-organised antirights movement.
