THE PUBLIC HAVE THEIR SAY IN GENDER DEBATE.
We have commissioned the the first-ever independent survey into attitudes to gender which has revealed widespread support among the Irish public for single-sex services and sports.1
RedC questioned a representative sample of 1,001 adults on a range of gender-related issues.
It comes amid calls for a public debate over gender and sex based rights in the light of controversial decisions such as plans to roll out mixed-sex toilets in Irish secondary schools.2
MORE than three-quarters of respondents (77%) agreed that people should have the right to request that intimate medical examinations are carried out by a person of the same birth sex.
62% said public buildings such as schools and banks should have to provide single-sex toilets.3
FEWER than one in five (17%) agreed with the law that a person should be allowed to change their birth certificate as soon as they self-identify as the opposite sex.
34% thought it should be permitted once a person has partially or fully transitioned through hormones or surgery.4
THE majority of those that express an opinion believe sex offenders should not be allowed to obtain a gender recognition certificate.5
OVER half are not in favour of of inclusion of transwomen in women's sports.
MORE Irish people than not believe that trans women should not have access to female changing rooms,
female prisons or women’s refuges.6
We invite you to visit our website and read the full report.
The danger of trans identified male prisoners being housed in women’s prisons has been highlighted recently in the UK, with the Judicial Review Case brought by a female prisoner who claims she was sexually assaulted in Downview Prison by a trans identified male prisoner. 1/5
This prisoner had been convicted of very serious sexual offences against women yet was being held in the general population of the female estate with her in accordance with prison policy.
We have been watching this case closely because both women’s prisons in Ireland 2/5
have each housed trans identified male prisoners with a GRC – the women’s wing of Limerick Prison, which currently houses two convicted trans identified male sex offenders, and the Dóchas Women’s Centre within Mountjoy Prison. 3/5
IRELAND: Where young men assault young women with impunity. We had been hearing reports of gangs of boys throwing coffee/water over female joggers. Now this. This young woman could have been killed. These girls are being forced to run the gauntlet to access public transport. 1/
One gets spat on, one gets a high kick to the ribs & one gets thrown into the tiny gap between the train & the platform. Before we delve deeper, is it not the responsibility & indeed the whole purpose of the man in the high-viz vest, to make this platform safe for passengers../2
to embark the train?? The young man who pushed her in does not immediately run off, like his mates. He seems shocked. He is the one walking over, hands to head, peering over. Not the employee, who is frozen. All of this could have been prevented instead it was let play out.../3
This letter beautifully & eloquently reflects our position. There was no debate. Because there was no awareness or understanding. All cloaked in fuzziness. Enough. Time for a grown-up conversation in this country about the GRA, trans ideology & their catastrophic impact on single
Sex provision & child safeguarding. The mainstream media continue to ignore us & all the while we get attacked by trans rights activists who dox details of our founder’s young family & deceased relatives. These are tactics of desperation. We do not sit
on the fence. We have a hospital consultant as our medical advisor & barristers working on our medicolegal team. There is no evidence base whatsoever for the medical transitioning of children / YP. None. It is eugenics because it results in sterilisation. It’s behoves all us to
This person, who has been convicted of a violent assault, will now be in female crime statistics and will be held in a women's prison.
They assaulted 3 different men, 1 man who was punched in the face
fell and hit his head off the path and suffered a bleed on the brain and a fractured skull.
We now have 3 transwomen held in women's prisons in Ireland.
Why does it matter if they are held in prison and a woman's prison?
Why does it matter if they are in the statistics as Female?
450 out of 678 Female offenders, (2019 statistics) the vast majority, are in prison for theft or government offences-for eg, not paying a fine.
Based on recent years committal rates in Irish prisons for violent and sexual crimes: 3 in 100,000 is the rate of
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/…
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
