One woman made a joke about Adele being a Transphobe on Twitter (she’s not). This was mendaciously used by a ‘journo’ to claim that Trans people were criticising her for saying she loved being a woman. Every right wing media source jumped in to spread hate against Trans people
I know that ethics is not popular with the media but using one (joking) person on Twitter to fuel a worldwide attack on Trans people is seriously messed up. It’s also the definition of Transphobia. Do better. Image
For some reason the media (I’m looking at BBC, RTÉ, Irish Times, London Times & Guardian especially) think it’s OK to be hateful to Trans people & manufacture baseless stories. It’s not. It wasn’t OK in the 80s when they were doing gay bashing, it isn’t now. Image
Yes there are some journalists who actually report facts but if they work on a paper or station that spreads this kind of hate they are equally responsible. They should call out the ‘journos’ who make stuff up.
And here’s an in-depth analysis of the way the joke Tweet was used to fuel the campaign of Transphobia by the British media. Apparently.@EHRCChair doesn’t know what Transphobia is, so I’m including her to teach her about human rights.

The end goal of the so-called ‘Gender Critical’ transphobes - the reintroduction of Section 28 (a British law that institutionalised homophobia, 1988-2003) except now it’s described as ‘the biased views of Stonewall’. Stonewall represents the LGBTQI community.
Britain has a homophobic prime minister, a Transphobic FM & a head of its Equality & Human Rights Commission who claims she doesn’t know what Transphobia is & meets with Transphobic hate groups.

The UK is in big trouble. pinknews.co.uk/2022/02/11/ehr…
Stonewall is the largest & most respected LGBTQI charity in Europe. It fights for the equality of all the community. It has been a target of the far right for some time. The U.K. has not learnt the lesson of the Holocaust & is persecuting Trans people. time.com/5953047/lgbtq-…

Delia Murphy (1902-71) was one of the most fascinating & brave Irish women to have lived. On top of that she was a gifted musician & an important part of Irish diplomacy.
Murphy’s sang froid & consideration for others is shown where she literally sang through the Belfast Blitz (15 April 1941) & encouraged people to stay in place. This highlighted her love of art & of humanity - she saved many lives with her advice: wartimeni.com/person/delia-m… Image
She was known as the Blackbird after one of her most popular songs as well as ‘the Queen of Connemara’. She learnt many of her ballads from Irish Travellers (Mincéirí) who camped on her estate. Tom Maugham taught her ‘If I were a Blackbird’: con-telegraph.ie/2021/02/20/del…

Death, be not proud, though some have called thee
Mighty and dreadful, for thou art not so;
For those whom thou think'st thou dost overthrow
Die not, poor Death, nor yet canst thou kill me.
From rest and sleep, which but thy pictures be,
Much pleasure; then from thee much more must flow,
And soonest our best men with thee do go,
Rest of their bones, and soul's delivery.
Thou art slave to fate, chance, kings, and desperate men,

Thread: Today is Imbolc, which celebrates the first day of Spring in Ireland. It is an ancient Celtic feast & is marked as St Bridget’s Day, it’s Christian re-incarnation. In schools children make St Bridget’s crosses to celebrate it. (pictured: Hill of Tara) #StBrigidsDay
Harry Clarke’s studio depicted her unique cross in their stained glass windows. Here’s the ‘Saint’ & her cross. Historians now believe she is an integration of an early medieval Kildare Abbess & a Celtic goddess. Because of this she holds a popular place in Irish tradition
Intriguingly, traditions re prophecy are associated with the feast in Ireland. Irish Hedgehogs may have been the inspiration of ‘Groundhog Day’. It’s said if one comes out of its burrow, on the day & doesn’t scuttle back in, then good weather is augured! (Pic: Irish Examiner)

Thread: Harry Clarke (1889-1931) was one of Ireland’s greatest artists. His medium was stained glass & he created masterpieces which integrated Celtic art with Art Nouveau. He was not only one of the great Western artists but also a personal favourite. Let’s take a look! Image
One of Clarke’s most moving works is his Agony in the Garden (1924) which is in the Institute of Education & Celtic Culture in Dingle. It is one of a number of stunning windows in the Institute ImageImageImage
