Amnesty International press release ^ | June 12, 2014 | Some flack at Amnesty International

A landmark law in Denmark making it easier for transgender people to change their legal gender should set an example to governments across the world, Amnesty International said.

Only the insane will follow Denmark. The rest will mock and ridicule Denmark's example of perverted self-destruction.

We on track literally for child rape to be legal if this insanity continues.

There is no such thing as gender. it is just a social construct made up by people who want to destroy social order.

I want to change my age in accordance with my “self perception.” If you don’t refer to me as a strapping 22-year-old, you’re a bigot, and I’ll sue.

This is natural selection in self destruct mode. What would Darwin say?

Tell it to Michael Jackson, who appeared to want to change into a white woman.

Why in the world are people so obsessed with sexual preferences / perversions when the end of times approaches in the form of Muslim savages. It’s more than astounding.

Amnesty International once had a serious interest in the welfare of people suffering at the hands of tyrants. Now they are focused on killing babies and promoting sexual deviancy.

There is no such thing as a transgender person. It is simply a mental illness that the Progs will not allow to be a mental illness any longer.

Furthermore one can now painlessly change one's official gender back and forth as one pleases.

It's just a way to get free drinks on ladies' night at the clubs.
