Today, on #TransDayOfVisibility, I would urge you to follow @TranScribe_IRL and listen to the stories of Irish trans people dealing with our Irish trans healthcare system. (Recently ranked worst in the EU.) Raise up their voices. It's a national scandal no-one is talking about.
One of the most powerful campaigns during Repeal were the stories shared on the "In Her Shoes" page.
It was impossible to read those stories and not grasp the horrible human cost of our decade's-long abortion ban on ordinary people's lives.
This is no different.

Our abortion ban was a scandal that was underpinned by a lack of regard for women's bodily autonomy and a deep distrust for women.
This is no different.
This is a scandal underpinned by a lack of regard for trans poeple's bodily autonomy, and a deep distrust of trans people.

Just like women travelled then to get access to their basic human rights, trans people travel today, with all the same issues in regards to finances and aftercare, and just like those women were virtually invisible then, we aren't seeing trans people now.
I think there should be an independent public inquiry into how trans healthcare in Ireland has turned out to be the worst in the EU, that has, at the heart of it, the testimonies of trans people in the system.
For example, how did it happen that over 100 Irish trans people were on the wrong waiting list for years?
