The full name of that €4 million EU-funded project: "Fostering Queer Feminist Intersectional Resistances against Transnational Anti-Gender Politics (RESIST)"

It defines victims of "anti-gender politics" as "women & lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans, and intersex (LGBTI+) persons"
The website of the project on the EU’s Horizon funding info site says it’s getting just under €2.5million but one of the coordinators, UCD, is claiming €4 million.

They talk about the struggle for “gendered freedoms” and “gendered and sexual liberations”
It's part of a "topic" (EU Horizon funding speak) called

"Feminisms for a new age of democracy"

worth €49 million

It's not the only project funded under that theme. Another one attempting to force-team women's rights with queerness is getting over €2 million (caps lock theirs!): "ANTI-GENDER BACKLASH & DEMOCRATIC PUSHBACK"

One of the partners is a Swiss museum that hosts kiddie drag shows
There are 5 projects in total on the fighting anti-gender politics trip. The idea is to shoehorn queer stuff together with things like abortion, so that you won't be able to tweet #SaveWomensSports for example, without being called a fascist.

Clever!

The @IrishTimes has been held hostage by NGOs and @tcddublin kids promising boycotts. But this measured-ish seeming report by @cpkeena suggests a change in how they report on gender ideology

What’s been going on in Ireland while they were #BeingKind? 1/
irishtimes.com/ireland/social…
Like elsewhere, the whole gender clinic concept is a smokescreen. The fact that there’s no state-managed paediatric service doling out puberty blockers and hormones to kids doesn’t mean that Irish kids aren’t taking puberty blockers and hormones. There are 2 routes 2/
If you’re an Irish kid who has gender dysphoria, you find out quickly (usually via Reddit Discord or Facebook) that the waiting lists are mental. You’re quickly given 2 options on the forums 3/

I’ve been told that the UN Independent Experts are supposed to declare all their donations and meetings. Unfortunately I couldn’t find any for @victor_madrigal. Luckily the Arcus Foundation was able to fill in some gaps:
From the Arcus website: "Through a grant to the Harvard Law School Human Rights Program, Arcus will support the historic work of the UN Independent Expert on Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity to define human rights in relation to sexual orientation and gender identity..."

Germany: last Thursday a girl comes home from school and her mother notices she has been given a worksheet loaded with gender ideology lessons (cis women, born in the wrong body, menstruators…) 1/
I deleted the last tweet because I want to be sure this is 100% factually correct: UNESCO, in collaboration with Procter & Gamble's Always®️ brand, has published an educational publication on puberty and menstruarion. 2/
The material is made available on a platform for teachers, and German teachers are using it. It’s pure queer theory gender ideology:

France 🧵

Trans trouble has sparked a war within a government body responsible for fighting racism and discrimination.

The body is called @DILCRAH. Members of its scientific committee came out fiercely against recent censoring of debate and deplatforming of certain speakers 1/
The speakers in question are, of course, critics of paediatric gender medicine,particularly the collective @OSirene who have been demonised by trans activists. But then @DILCRAH *denied* they had ever defended free speech, claiming the scientific council had gone rogue 2/
DILCRAH, which works directly under the French prime minister, reaffirmed a commitment to trans rights and *launched a complaint of discrimination* against @OSirene.

Their complaint has just been rejected /3 Image

LIVE: The European Parliament are currently discussing the violence against women and girls directive. Opened by @RobertBiedron and @JFLopezAguilar

🔴multimedia.europarl.europa.eu/en/webstreamin…

Background: peaked.substack.com/p/eu-law-for-w…
One of the male chairs already used "gender" instead of "sex". Not sure if they themselves even know what they are talking about.

@EvinIncir is demanding definitions of consent and rape, but so far has not identified the issue of not having a clear definition of "woman"
She's going hard against prostitution, one of the most obvious forms of violence against women and girls. I worry that they are going all-in on this to give something to the feminists but then hand over the other concessions to TRAs.
