Amnesty International picked a fight it's going to lose. The other day, the human rights organization made the very bad choice to list Beria's Place, a women's rape crisis shelter, as well as For Women Scotland and the Gay Men's Network, as hate groups.
Why? Because they believe in the gender binary, Beria's Place only allows biological women to use its services. Gone are the days when Amnesty lobbied to protect political prisoners. Instead, they're now pushing to abuse women and punish gays and lesbians who don't bend the knee to the radical trans agenda.
The problem is this: Beria's Place was started by J.K. Rowling, probably the only person on the planet outside of Elon Musk with the money and the clout to obliterate Amnesty International for their sexism, homophobia, and bigotry.
Here's some of what the letter says:
We act for Beria's Place, a sexual violence support service for women across Edinburgh and the Lothians. Our client has supported hundreds of women who have experienced sexual violence in the course of their life.
As a human rights organisation, Amnesty International UK ("Amnesty/You") will be well aware that there is an epidemic of violence against women and girls. You will also be aware that the vast majority of violence against women and girls is perpetrated by men and that for women, recovery from sexual trauma is achieved in a women only setting.

Standing “O”.
When I saw her associating and hanging around with Stephan King on interviews and panels together I assumed then her leanings were way off center.
It’s so nice to be proven wrong on my assumptions.

I was wondering that as well.
J.K. Rowling is British......an author world-renowned
for writing the globally famous “Harry Potter” series.
Published between 1997 and 2007, Rowling’s seven-book fantasy saga became
one of the best-selling and most successful franchises in publishing history.
A totally beautiful lady....inside and out.
She’s very liberal.
I would not assume anything about her other political beliefs based on this. There are still ACTUAL liberals out there, as opposed to the crazy progressives that dominate the modern left. Such a true liberal might well reject all the trans nonsense but still hold other liberal positions - expansion of government, increased taxation, etc,
She also writes some pretty good mysteries under the name “Robert Galbraith”
She’s probably still left-of-center in most regards. I think she’s the Bill Maher type, who is being left behind by the Progressive lurch into deep space lunacy, but still holds to views we would rather she didn’t. If there’s one thing the Trans movement has done, it’s make regular gays and feminists look positively stodgy.
Thanks for the tip! I just put The Cuckoo’s Calling on order with my library!
Rowling is a progressive, she does, however, have the brain power to be able to distinguish men from women, unlike some legislators and judges.
Hmm. Beria. Beria. Where do I know that name from, that made me think this was a weird name for a place that is supposed to provide some kind of sanctuary for women? This was the summary from some AI thing:
No she is a leftist, she just not an insane leftist
Rowling is a committed Liberal who believes there two and only two genders. On all other issues she is very left. That is not good enough for the woke mob.
One of the reasons I follow her on X
J.K. Rowling’s sexual violence support center in Edinburgh, “Beira’s Place,”
is named after Beira, the Celtic mythological figure and Scottish goddess.
The Rowling center was established in 2022 to provide women-only trauma
support and advocacy for female survivors of sexual abuse and violence.
