No JKs goal was to get Amnesty to pull support for trans people, which she succeeded at.

Now it’s our turn to use our voices and throw our weight at Amnesty to do the right thing.

If Amnesty is incapable or unwilling to care, it must fall.

    it must fall

    That seems very radical. Why entirely abolish an organization that generally fights for the greater good, just because it failed once or a few times? What is going to take its place?

    Because next time it will be gay people.

    Next time it will be Muslims.

    Next time it will be Black People.

    Next time it will be Women.

    Because Fascism does not stop and must not be tolorated.

    Have I ever implied that nothing should be done? Of course we need to fight for change. I simply doubt that axing the entire organization is a good solution. That would be like fighting your potential ally.
