Ireland is supposed to be a shining beacon of progress these days...

but in fact, we have sleepwalked into a nightmare.

As we send out our first tweet to the world, our thoughts go to the female inmates of Limerick Prison.

If no one else will speak for them, we will.
A violent male-bodied person with a stated intention to kill & rape women has just been transferred to the Female Estate because they had a Gender Recognition Certificate. thejournal.ie/limerick-court…
We condemn in the strongest possible terms what is nothing less than State-sanctioned torture of the most vulnerable women in society, 79% of whom are typically survivors of Child Sexual Abuse, Domestic Violence and Rape.
prisonreformtrust.org.uk/PressPolicy/Ne….
Why are there two (that we know of) fully intact, extremely dangerous males, in the women's wing of Limerick Prison?

Why are the public not aware?

How has this been allowed to happen again?

...when a full year ago, the alarm was raised here:
lawsociety.ie/gazette/top-st…
This is the horrific fallout of the Gender Recognition Act which was enacted without any public awareness, debate or consultation.

To this day, the public has no idea that all medical gatekeeping & safeguarding has been dismantled.
They have no idea that any man who says he is a woman can fill out a form & their legal documents, including their Birth Cert, are changed.
Without the need for any surgery or hormones.

Irish Women have been failed.

Society has been re-ordered without our consent.
We endure language that erases us & laws that fail to protect us. Female prisoners should NOT be exposed to predatory males.

We are not 'anyone with a cervix' as @HSELive tell us.

We are women. We will not be erased in language or in law.

CHILD TRANSITION will be the medical scandal of our time. 4 major studies have come out in the past year (1 still at pre-print stage). These papers address key issues in the debate on treatment of minors experiencing gender dysphoria (GD). They are undoing decades of misinformation.
Together these studies paint a picture of medical malpractice, especially with 4 major studies in 1 year. Clinicians and psychologists are finally conducting and publishing studies on the effects of medical treatment of GD and on the claims proponents of this treatment have been making (kids are certain of their gender identity, they will kill themselves if cannot transition, better a trans child than a dead child etc). These studies show the devastating effects of PBs and that this treatment doesn’t resolve difficulties kids are having or suicide ideation. We predict there will be an avalanche of these studies over coming years.
1. In Finland a study examined all cause and suicide mortality over thousands of gender distressed children and compared to a control group. They concluded that Clinical gender dysphoria does not appear to be predictive of either all-cause or suicide mortality when psychiatric treatment history is accounted for.

***NEWS***
We’re very pleased to announce that the Gender Recognition (Amendment) (Prisons) Bill 2023 was lodged in the Dáil on Thursday 26th Oct by Peadar Tóibín, leader of Aontú. (1/5) @AontuIE
thecountess.ie/historic-bill-…
This means that a debate will now take place in the Dáil on the issue of housing trans identified males in women’s prisons. The Bill, drafted by Laoise de Brún BL, founder of The Countess, required a TD to introduce it in the Dáil, along with 10 signatures from TDs. (2/5)
We are grateful to Peadar Tóibín for introducing this bill, and for his cross-party lobbying over several months in order to bring this bill forward. (3/5)

We are launching our latest Countess Campaign.
The Gender Recognition (Amendment) (Prisons) Bill 2023, drafted by Laoise de Brún BL and introduced to the Dáil by Peadar Tóibín TD, will remove men from women's prisons and ensure prisons are single sex.
#KeepPrisonsSingleSex
We are the first GC campaign group that we know of worldwide in a self ID jurisdiction that has drafted an amendment to gender self ID law in order to exclude prisons from the scope. 
#KeepPrisonsSingleSex #WeWillBeHeard
We have hit 17k followers on Twitter! To help us celebrate this milestone, please support our campaign to remove men from women's prisons. 
We are calling on you, our followers and supporters, to help us force this debate. A debate that never happened in Ireland.

In what can only be described as a huge about-turn, one of the principal architects of gender self-id in Ireland, Fianna Fáil's Willie O'Dea, appears to have had a change of heart about the wisdom of implementing the self-id model of gender recognition.. #KeepPrisonsSingleSex Image
O'Dea, who was a member of the Gender Recognition Bill Committee that removed the requirement for a medical assessment in order to obtain a gender recognition certificate and replaced it with the disastrous self-id model,
gave his support to the women who were protesting outside the Dáil with the message "No Males in Women's Jails." The housing of violent male sex offenders in Limerick women's prison has come about as a direct result of the self-id model of gender recognition,

And so Ireland joins the circus and includes a "non binary" category in the Dublin marathon.
Let's have a look at the "non binary" "winners" in other marathons, shall we?
Jacob Caswell, the winner of the "non binary" category in the New York marathon, ran a time of 2.45; Image
Kae Ravichandran, the winner of the “non binary” category in the Boston Marathon 2023 and Blank Bruno, the winner of the “non binary” category in the Chicago marathon 2022.
The one thing all of these competitors have in common is that they THINK they are neither male nor female. ImageImage
In a marathon that already has over 60% male participants, Dublin has now introduced a new category, which they plan to also divert funding to in prize money, which will also go to men. all the while lamenting the reduced female participant rates. How very progressive.
