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
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."
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.
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?
"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
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?
“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."
Women's boundaries are not "hatred"
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.
