TRANSGENDERSo the UN is preparing to blast the UK on LGBT rights (but we know which of those letters it’s preoccupied with). We can guess which organisations the special rapporteur for Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity (SOGI) listened to on his fact-finding visit.

I like how the UN still think anyone gives a shit about what they say.

I'd take them more seriously if they actually tried to tackle Saudi Arabia and it's issues rather than giving them a seat on the women's rights commission.

Yeah, that's like asking a wolf to sit in on the discussions of safety for sheep.

Seriously though, why would anyone listen to them with that sort of attitude? You're not making me think you have a point when you put known violators of human rights in that role. Not really great if you want people to listen lol.

Not to mention everyone ignores the UN anyway, they just want to pretend they're relevant.

The UN, other than the Security Council, seems to serve very little purpose other than to protect the human rights abusers from scrutiny by playing “look squirrels!”.

Which is why I ignore them. Maybe tackle the big issues like actual abuses not the places where someone is MEAN on twitter. Pathetic from the UN.
