Council of Europe So how did our Irish delegates vote on the "conversion practices" ban at the Council of Europe? Before the vote was passed yesterday Stella O'Malley warned ".. it is likely to be seized upon by trans activists across Europe as a mandate for further action. We can expect national legislation, regulatory guidance, and professional rules that extend well beyond the resolution’s original intent."
BeLonG To Youth Services Foreign funding of our NGOcracy "We’re funding existing organisations that all receive funding from the Irish government. We can’t fund advocacy projects or political things, we can’t buy real estate…there’s a whole list of things you can’t fund." said Peter Kinney in 2019. Perhaps the Rowan Foundation needs to review its funding.
Cass Report The ICCL has left the building This morning we learnt the Department of Education has confirmed that there's no obligation on schools to use preferred pronouns as stated in the ICCL guide.
BeLonG To Youth Services Rights for me but not for thee The ICCL is helping to intimidate the rest of society into being afraid to challenge a privileged self-appointed caste to have their own way irrespective of the rights of others, especially those of women and children.
Men "identifying" as women in our prisons Four out of five men who have "identified" as women in our prisons were sex offenders. Not all were placed in a women's prison. The following may not be a definitive list as it's only possible to record those cases reported in the media.
Gender Recognition Act Submission to the Irish Prison Service Prison Rules Review Consultation Any new policy on transgender prisoners must ensure that any changes to the Prison Rules do not negatively impact on the safety and other needs of women in prisons, including women prisoners and women Prison Officers and officials.
AGPs Labour's losing it We all know that WPATH's latest and 8th Version even offers a chapter on eunuchs with plenty of mention of castration. It's not what most of us would consider "healthcare". And "gender affirming care" is an oxymoron.
AGPs What impact assessment was carried out on allowing men to call themselves women? Why are the demands of a tiny minority to use whichever toilet they like in our national theatre according to their "personal preference" given precedence over the majority's preference for the comfort and dignity of single-sex provision?
AGPs Leo's lame defence of the Gender Recognition Act Fortunately Leo's @FineGael colleague Presidential candidate @HeatherH knows what a woman is and has been unafraid to say that the Gender Recognition Act may need looking at again.
Differences of Sex Development Journalists bend the knee to gender ideology In abandoning their own standards to indulge others in the pronouns they demand journalists signal that they have bent the knee to gender ideology. This is surely in breach of the NUJ Code of Conduct.
Gender identity ideology The Gender Recognition Act was a wolf in sheep's clothing No impact assessment was carried out before an 84% male Dáil passed this dangerous and unnecessary Act in 2015 at the behest of activists. Women never consented to allowing men to "self-id" as women, a safeguarding risk to us and to children.
Gender Recognition Act Ratio of Gender Recognition Certificates per head of population more than double here compared to UK Here in Ireland with "self-id" anyone can apply for a Gender Recognition Certificate, and having a criminal record doesn't prevent someone from applying or receiving one either as the Department of Social Protection has confirmed.
AGPs Truth the first casualty in the war on women What a turnabout that the US State Department may actually provide some protection against an attempt to silence women from calling out the men's fetish of autogynephilia which puts women and children at risk.
AGPs Gender Recognition Act has to go "Imagine a law that allowed white people to declare they are black or adults to declare they are children. There would rightly be uproar. Yet women are supposed to accept that any man can say he’s a woman, or be called a bigot."
Equality legislation Our legislators enabled sex deception by men Unbelievably, the submission by the Equality Authority (now part of IHREC, the Irish Human Rights and Equality Commission) believed that the demands of some men to be legally recognised as the opposite sex should be extended to permit them access to women's changing rooms and toilets.
AGPs What about women's "lived experience"? If resisting men's attempts to colonise women's spaces and sports is "transphobic", what exactly are "trans" rights? And if we cannot withhold our consent to this what rights do women have at all?
AGPs "Gender identity" to be protected under our equality legislation? Yesterday's ruling by the UK's Supreme Court will doubtless have significance for any woman in Ireland wondering if legal action can be taken over males being permitted to use female facilities e.g. in the workplace or schools.
Colette Colfer Stifling academic freedom in Ireland By September of 2022 Advance HE in Britain, who operate Athena Swan, had dropped the requirement to foster ‘collective understanding’ from the UK Principles. However, crucially, collective understanding about gender is still required in Ireland.
Gender identity ideology Irish Government discriminates against women and girls For the State to financially support nominally "non-Governmental" organisations which lobby to undermine the rights and safety of women is to effectively discriminate against women.
Autogynephilia What have young women in common with adult men? With Irish figures showing the same pattern of more than twice as many girls as boys in England being referred with what used to be seen predominantly in adult men, why are we not asking why?
Census US returns to reality but sex deception in Ireland continues Between ages 16 to 18 there are 110 women to 46 men yet aged 51+ the sexes are reversed with 3 women to 63 men on the Register. What do young girls have in common with older men?
Laoise de Brún Women seek Seanad seats to protect women and children's rights There are 28 candidates chasing six seats in the two university panels for colleges of the NUI and Trinity College Dublin this month. Many candidates appear to be offering a range of similar positions on a wide variety of topics. Two women candidates however stand out from the crowd. Laoise
Cass Report Has the HSE been captured by gender identity activists? "The children’s hospital in Crumlin, Dublin, was given a 'comfort letter' saying it was still indemnified for the continued administration of puberty blockers to patients with gender dysphoria, following a landmark judgment by an English court." Why?
Equality legislation Men in women's football is not fair The IHRC which with the Equality Authority is now IHREC, the Irish Human Rights and Equality Commission, also opposed a provision which would have protected women and girls in sport. They clearly didn't consider the rights of half of the population, but instead supported men who claim to be women.
Freedom of expression We will not stand idly Poem by Kathryn O'Sullivan, read out at our protest outside the German Embassy on November 1st, the day far-reaching "self-id" legislation came into force placing German women and children at risk of harm.
