Last May I was sued for defamation by David Quinn. I replied to a tweet of his that referred to doctors who perform abortions as ‘deliberately killing patients in the name of autonomy’ I was angry, tired, hungry & in the queue in Dunnes - the perfect storm for stupidity /1

How does forcing small kids into the men’s changing rooms on their own keep kids safe?

Ireland has had Gender Self ID since 2015 - 8 years in, it’s still cis men assaulting, raping, & murdering us. Mostly in our own homes. The nonsense moral panic about trans people is a smokescreen for the real problem - which is cis men #gbv #vawg #TransRightsAreHumanRights

He beat her unconscious, boasted about it online, there’s CCTV footage of him doing it and he STILL walked free. This is why men feel like they can do anything they want - because they know they’ll get away with it. #violenceagainstwomen #Vawg #misogyny

Inclusion and exclusion criteria for ‘womanhood’ are nonsense. Because of cancer treatment I can’t get pregnant, don’t menstruate, had ‘top’ surgery, am on hormone blockers, & have short hair - am I a woman? Nobody should get to decide that except me. #translivesmatter

"People" menstruate because they are women.

Getting capacity stadiums all over the world to scream ‘Fuck the Patriarchy’, teaching young women about gaslighting, creating a gorgeous community of women of all ages and aiming everything at the female gaze? God tier feminism #ErasTour #erastourdublin #feminism

Breast cancer is one of the most common&treatable cancrs.I found mine early enough to treat successfully&today I’m getting a mastectomy(who needs two boobs anyway?) #BreastCancerAwarenessMonth is a reminder to check our bits&that things are very treatable when we catch them early

Every woman that has ever complained about misogyny and systemic unfairness that benefits those in power, and has been punished & shamed for talking about it, is finding the silencing strategy used against #BlakeLively very interesting - and very familiar - indeed #patriarchy
