- More and more countries are waking up to the harms being inflicted on young people by gender ideology, gender affirming medicalisation and gender affirming surgery. Norway is the latest:
- It blows my mind that some people actually really genuinely support the idea of males being permitted to compete in the women’s category. If you told me twenty years ago that this would happen in the future, I wouldn’t have believed you.Sadie (Camden) Schreiner's time in the 200m makes him the 3rd fastest D3 collegiate runner in the nation in the women's category. For perspective, his time ranks him 1,619th in his rightful category of the men's division. 1619th->3rd. But no yeah men can totally become women!
- Some Irish media outlets are incorrectly reporting that transwomen have been banned from rugby by the IRFU. This is incorrect. The new rule states that only people who are born female can play in the women’s category. Please stop the spin that’s pushed by activists.
- Can anyone explain to me why a group of women gathering to speak about women’s rights is being branded as hate? I see the hashtag #noplaceforhate - about #LetWomenSpeakBelfast - but why can’t women gather to peacefully speak? It is not hate to speak about women’s rights
- Massive news just in. A woman in the UK - Maya Forstater - who lost her job because of her gender critical beliefs, is to receive over 100k in compensation from the organisation who dumped her. I’ve no doubt it’s just a matter of time before similar cases happen in Ireland.I have received the "remedy" judgement in my case. @CGDev has been ordered to pay over £100k in compensation for loss of earnings, injury to feelings and aggravated damages for their high-handed conduct. Thank-you to everyone who supported my case forstater.com/discrimination…
- Seeing one of Ireland’s greatest sporting heroes - Barry McGuigan @ClonesCyclone - standing up for women and women’s sports and for common sense, fairness and safety, and I cannot help but think how quickly this stuff would be dealt with if everyone just said it:It’s completely unfair to allow men who have transitioned to compete against women in ANY Sport which involves a competition of physical strenght and endurance.
- Seriously. Who supports this? Seriously though.The face of a man as he beats the women in a women’s race. Well done fella, well done.
- The most chilling thing about the mob who chanted in unison, hundreds of voices, with hatred directed at women who had gathered to peacefully speak - calling us Nazi scum’ - is that they are largely from government funded organisations. State sponsored. #LetWomenSpeakDublin
- Graham Linehan’s @Glinner book has gone straight to number 1. And @roisinmurphy album is in at no. 2. Both Irish!! Things have been particularly stifling here in Ireland. There is a lot of fear. Tomorrow we have the first ever #LetWomenSpeakDublin event. Time for braveryThe funniest thing about transactivists raging at Richard Ayoade is that now their intimidation racket is crumbling they're going to spend the next few years realising they'd only bought temporary silence by creating fear.
- Replying to @jessica_keachie and @AdeleIslaBeautiful photo. Best of luck to your grandad. I'm going to purchase a copy now.
- It is becoming increasingly common that I meet people who openly tell me that they don't agree with me on gender issues. I'm always curious about this and try to understand their position. I ask if they agree with the medicalisation of children with puberty blockers and cross sex
- A historic moment in Ireland today as one of our very best and brightest (aka saint and scholar) @HJoyceGender is interviewed for the first time for an Irish newspaper. Phenomenal piece. Thank you @AlanEnglish9 @TheSundayIndo
- My article 'A New Religion': I explore parallels between gender identity theory and religions and argue that as a phenomenologist of religion it is difficult to study the theory because of the compulsion to believe. Thank you @broadsheet_ie for publishing.
