I have received a response from @RTE following my FOI request and can now confirm that training sessions have been carried out at Ireland's national state broadcaster by both ShoutOut and BeLong To - both of which deliver workshops that promote gender identity theory.
My question for RTE is this - how can our national state broadcaster maintain an impartial stance on issues relating to gender identity when training is being given to staff that encourages a particular way of thinking about it? Has the impartiality of RTE been compromised?
When women express concerns about the erasure of the word woman, when people ask questions or disagree with gender identity theory, then how can RTE fairly cover these issues when staff are being taught to think about them in one particular way?
The uproar that erupted following the three @rteliveline shows that explored issues relating to erasure of the word woman from legislation, the banning of women from the @NWCI AGM, and gender identity theory more broadly indicates that these types of discussions are all too rare.
Can @RTE provide assurance that they will allow space on our national airwaves for people who do not subscribe to gender identity theory? For people who believe the word woman should be retained in our legislation? For people who do not believe people can change sex?
