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.
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.
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.
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
"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."
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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?
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?
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
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?
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.
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.
"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.
The Institute for Strategic Dialogue and disinformation
The Institute for Strategic Dialogue which sits on a subgroup of the Government's National Counter Disinformation Strategy is not above promoting disinformation itself.
Ireland now to import babies
IHREC says the exploitation of vulnerable women for surrogacy is 'one of the most concerning, novel and emerging forms of trafficking'. "Yet we have enacted a law that legalises what the UN special rapporteur on human rights has called 'the sale of children'."
Activists use those with DSDs - again
Leo Varadkar asked Heather Humphreys, Minister for Social Protection, if she plans to make provision for people who are medically determined to be intersex due to their chromosomes or characteristics to be recognised in law. Now why would activists want this?
Law, not justice
If the Government's plans to protect men's "gender identity" in our equality legislation is successful, it may mean that women and girls will not be able to object to men or boys in our sports, schools, changing rooms.
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?
US money pushes gender ideology in Ireland
"..U.S. government agencies are pouring tens of millions of dollars into dozens of projects and grants to organizations worldwide that support gender ideology, transgenderism, and 'combat so called ‘conversion therapy’ practices,' among other specified LGBTQI+ 'human rights' priorities."
Surrogacy - exploiting women and buying babies
"A society that promotes the idea that women can be containers of babies and that we should do it for love and freedom is such a monstrous society that it is not even able to recognise its monstrosity any more."
Single-sex provision: what does the law say?
Is it misrepresentation of our legislation to state that men who "identify" as some other gender are entitled to use the facilities of women, for instance, when this may not necessarily be correct in law?
