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.

What impact assessment was carried out on allowing men to call themselves women?

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?

Leo's lame defence of the Gender Recognition Act

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.

Truth the first casualty in the war on women

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.

Gender Recognition Act has to go

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."

What about women's "lived experience"?

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?

"Gender identity" to be protected under our equality legislation?

"Hate crime" Bill poses safeguarding risk to women and children

"Hate crime" Bill poses safeguarding risk to women and children

The "hate crime" Bill before the Seanad today introduces an entirely new definition of “gender”, which defies the reality of there being only two sexes or genders. It sets a very dangerous precedent in our legislation if it is passed.

Department speaks out of both sides of its mouth

Department speaks out of both sides of its mouth

Just announced: a new public consultation on the next National Strategy for Women and Girls. Is this just another box ticking exercise before proceeding once again with what the gender identity activists in our NGOs and Government want?

Women's protections at risk from adding "gender identity" to our equality legislation?

Women's protections at risk from adding "gender identity" to our equality legislation?

“It is planned that legislative proposals arising from the Review of the Equality Acts will be brought forward shortly. Policy officials are seeking legal advice on a number of matters before proposals can be finalised."

Gardai need to follow PSNI in showing no favour to a political lobby

Gardai need to follow PSNI in showing no favour to a political lobby

Women exercising our right to freedom of expression need to know that the Gardai will protect us from transactivists as the PSNI did in Belfast a few months ago. It's critical that our police force shows no favouritism to a lobby which includes Transactivism given its threats to women's rights.

Women's boundaries are not "hatred"

Women's boundaries are not "hatred"
