1. We find this talk by Michael O'Flaherty(MOF) disturbing and worrying for many reasons including the outright lies contained in it. We reject the conflation of sex and gender; sexual orientation and gender identity and we oppose the harmful definition of SO contained in the YP.

2. MOF was the Rapporteur responsible for drafting the YP and is currently Director of the EU Agency for Fundamental Rights(FRA). He gave the talk on the YP(at 19mins) at Monash University, Melbourne, Australia (a country where self-ID is taking hold).

3. Not only does he bamboozle the audience by conflating sex and gender identity he lies about the contents of the YP. According to MOF the YP "states the law as it is" and they "ask for nothing new". He mentions Principle 3 but fails to declare it calls for SELF-ID to be the law

4. MOF claims there is "nothing controversial contained in them" when we know that nothing could be further from the truth. Enshrining the nebulous concept of gender identity into law is perhaps the most controversial idea of the modern age.

5. We highly recommend watching this important talk given by @boodleoops which critically examines the doctrine of gender identity in order to understand why we oppose attempts for it to be enshrined into law and why we reject calls to replace Sex with GI.

6. Considering that MOF is giving a talk about the YP at a leading University and sponsored by a human rights law centre we would except him to define what gender identity actually means but even the lead drafter cannot bring himself to explain this ill defined concept:

7.

"Well, I don't want to dissect that definition excessively this evening." (at 25mins)

We are worried that MOF's Directorship at FRA, EU has been extended for three years. It is clear to us that wherever the YP lobbyists go confusion seems to follow.
