@LadiesFootball new Transgender Policy lets women and girls down and does not follow any of the science. It is vital that female sport remains separated by sex.

World Sports Governing Bodies realise the importance, based on fairness, equality, safety, dignity and participation levels, of keeping sports Single Sex, as it has been proven that male puberty gives a physical and unfair competitive advantage over women. #SaveWomensSports

Following scientific research, World Rugby, FINA (Swimming), World Boxing, Irish & Scottish Rugby have all come out to defend the category of sex in sport, and fairness in female sport, by not allowing men who identify as women to compete in Women’s events. #SaveWomensSports

Whether, like Enoch Burke, you object to gender ideology because it conflicts with your religious beliefs, or like JK Rowling, you object because it conflicts with women’s rights, we need to have open debate about conflicting rights.

The Countess founder Laoise @anliathluachra says in today’s article in @thetimes
“Regardless of how one feels about Mr Burke’s views, they are his religious beliefs and therefore protected under law.” Laoise of The Countess, an advocacy group concerned about the implications

of Ireland’s self-identification gender law, says Burke’s dismissal should “send shockwaves through staff rooms”.
The Burkes’ image as “a family outside the pale; outside the norms of public opinion” meant there was “a collective cultural shudder or squeamishness towards

This morning the Irish Daily Mail reports that politicians are ‘scared to oppose transgender agendas’. Professor Donal O' Shea said 16 is too young for self ID.
Politicians are paid to legislate without fear or favour,

@CharlieFlanagan

they have a responsibility to protect and promote the welfare of children and young people. Fear of lobbyists is not an acceptable reason to do nothing or remain silent if they have concerns.
Irish politicians need to know the huge public support for @CharlieFlanagan

@HSELive

call for an independent enquiry into the @HSELive decision to refer children as young as 5 years old to the Tavistock gender clinic. Mr. Flanagan has put his head above the parapet. He has shown courage.

A common question people ask us is, what harm has Self ID caused in Ireland?

Simply put, it means that women can no longer rely on the unquestioned understanding that men should never enter spaces reserved for women and girls.

That used to be understood, and if a vanishingly rare few men wanted to be women so much that they were willing to undergo sex reassignment surgery and to dress as women, then most people would politely turn a blind eye.

But since Self ID was quietly brought into law under the 2015 Gender Recognition Act, any man can apply for a Gender Recognition Certificate and legally access women’s spaces, with only a solemn declaration of intent. assets.gov.ie/38300/3f615ebf…

“Women’s rights advocacy group The Countess has accused the National Council for Curriculum Assessment (NCCA) of attempting to breach the constitutional rights of parents.”

“The remarks were made as Ireland’s official curriculum body has indicated its desire to see RSE (Relationship and Sexuality Education) and SPHE merged into a single compulsory subject, coming into effect in September 2023.”

“If this plan succeeds, the Countess argues that parents will be denied the right to serve as the primary source of religious, moral, and social education of their children. The group argues that this would violate Article 42.1 and 42.1 of the Constitution, which read:”
