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.
"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."
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?
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.
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?
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.
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?
“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."
It doesn't matter whether or not a man is innocently seeking to use women's spaces or services or whether he has an ulterior motive. Women want the norms of privacy, dignity and our need for safety to be respected by Government. It's not "hatred" for women to assert this.
