"Public discourse around sex increasingly seeks to deny basic facts of human biology."

A Letter "The Reality of Sex" has been published in the
Irish Journal of medical Science. @IrishJMedSci

THREAD: How "Gender Identity" is taking precedence over sex in Ireland.

In Ireland we have Self I.D, a man can change his legal status, his SEX, by filling in an A4 form.
The Hate Crime Bill which is going through the Seanad Éireann at the moment lists "sex characteristics" rather than sex.
It doesn't provide an interpretation for "sex characteristics" yet it provides one for "transgender identity".
oireachtas.ie/en/bills/bill/…
The term "sex characteristics" is used in the Yogyakarta Principles. (YPS)
The YPS are not binding in law yet:
"The Yogyakarta Principles are widely considered by governments, legal experts, international human rights bodies and many national courts (Cont.)
as an authoritative legal statement."-Prof Michael O’Flaherty, professor of human rights law and director of the Irish Centre for Human Rights, NUI Galway.
After this letter in which Prof. O 'Flaherty talks about the
The Yogyakarta Principles, Ireland moved from gender recognition that required just a doctors note, to full Self I.D.
irishtimes.com/opinion/gender…
The YPS are frequently used by Irish Trans Rights Groups, TENI and BeLongTo, in submissions and recommendations for the GRA review.
Recommendations like the inclusion of Non binary identities into the GRA and provision for under 16s.
gov.ie/en/press-relea…
In the Programme for Government: Our shared future, under the programme for LGBTI+ it states they will:

"Amend the gender ground in equality legislation, to
ensure that someone discriminated against on the
basis of their gender identity is able to avail of this
legislation".
This is a concerted effort to remove sex (or gender as synonymous with sex) and for gender identity to take precedence.

We have seen this with the HSE removing the word woman from cervical screening information, they have since reinstated "Woman" for the "interim" after
Irish Women objected to being called "anyone with a cervix" and demanded that women be included in healthcare literature.
Read about this and our submission to the @HSElive to reinstate the word Woman on our website:

"Human sex is an observable, immutable, and important biological classification; it is a fundamental characteristic of our species, foundational to many biology disciplines, and a major differentiator in medical/health outcomes" @HSELive

THREAD #motherandbabyhomesreport is an example of classic whitewash.
the techniques are widely known; narrow the scope & limit the enquiry. Used to great effect in Hillsborough, Bloody Sunday & Grenfell. So what appears to be an open, honest, legal, proper & well-meaning
effort is in fact a smokescreen for a concerted effort to above all else, protect the institutions involved. Our former Minister for Children, Catherine Zappone, it would appear, tried valiantly to do this properly. She oversaw the Tuam Babies excavation which confirmed that tiny
human remains were buried underground in a mass unmarked grave. She spoke of how difficult the process would be, politically, legally & technically to exhume all the bodies. She asked the pope during his visit if the religious orders would pay reparations. It would appear she did

THREAD: Those of us who are calling out the great harm Trans activism & Ideology is doing to our children, will remember this day for as long as we live.
Keira Bell has won.
Here's our analysis of a complex judgement today in Bell v Tavistock, at the Royal Courts of Justice /1
This is a landmark judgment for doctors looking after children with gender dysphoria: in essence the judgement states that children do not have the capacity to make an informed decision to take puberty blockers bc they cannot fully understand the impact the drugs will have. /2
There's insufficient clinical data to guide that consent. This impacts HERE @HSELive : GIDS could not provide the court with basic information about how many of their patients have Autism Spectrum Disorder, despite this being highly prevalent in children with gender dysphoria. /3

THREAD
We welcome any & all MSM coverage of the conflict of rights that has come about bc of the GRA & Trans activism.
The more light shone the better.
thetimes.co.uk/article/nation…
We are a grassroots group. We have members all over Ireland & we are growing everyday.
The reason we keep growing is because our message is resonating. We are calling out the unintended consequences of Self-ID which are catastrophic for child safe-guarding & which obliterate Single-sex provision.
The trans identified males in Limerick are fully-intact males./2
Male bodies do not belong near women in vulnerable states whether that is a prison, a hospital ward, a refuge, a toilet or a changing room. We know that the vast majority of people on this island agree with us. The scope of the article is narrow. The Why? is not examined./3

This is #TransDayOfRemembrance, the culmination of #TransAwarenessWeek
So, what are Trans Rights? Trans identified ppl across Europe have every human & civil right. They can't be fired or refused housing. On average there is just one murder a year in the UK & across Europe.1/
channel4.com/news/factcheck…
And there have been no murders in Ireland.

Ever.

/2
Conflating their lives & mortality rates with those of prostituted people is dishonest. Unsurprisingly, trans identified males who work as prostitutes servicing men in North, Central & South America, lead short, dangerous lives. But that has nothing to do with 'Trans Rights'. 3/

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.
