@CordyHaig @rcgp 1. Autogynephilia is included in DSMV as an associated descriptive feature of Transvestic Disorder. It is an extremely controversial concept developed by Dr Ray Blanchard, which Ms O’Malley herself admits is under researched...... @CordyHaig @rcgp 2. Dr Blanchard chaired the working group for DSMV which considered whether autogynephilia should be included as a specifier of Transvestic Disorder, a paraphilic disorder.

Extraordinary to see the gushing praise for John Pilger

Has nobody read or listened to him for the past 30 yrs while he denied genocides, aided & abetted dictators, spread their lies, punched down on Syrian civilians & rescuers suffering Assad crimes vs humanity, supported Putin @Brian_Whit five years ago

Pilger, a regular on Kremlin channel Russia Today, praised & promoted notorious Assad & Putin propagandists & war crimes deniers Beeley, Bartlett, Ford et al

Clare Daly and Mick Wallace may say they have criticised Assad in Syria, Wallace did after all say in the Dail he is 'far from an exemplary democratic leader'!

They have also done a great deal that acts as a support to the genocidal Assad regime 1. Daly & Wallace organised for known pro Assad propagandist & associate of Assad family Peter Ford to hold a meeting in Dublin. Ford was outed at that meeting as working for Assad by Vincent Brown.

@colettebrowne @Hippoclides No, Clare Daly while she may say she criticises Assad has done a great deal to support his regime:

Daly & Wallace organised for known pro Assad propagandist & associate of Assad family Peter Ford to hold meeting in Dublin. He was outed as working for Assad by Vincent Brown. @colettebrowne @Hippoclides Daly met with key regime figure Fares Shehabi, EU sanctioned for support of Assad regime, war profiteer & gangster, provided propaganda photo op for regime & in Dail expressed admiration for Shehabi & 'challenged' Irish govt to invite him to Ireland to inform them about Syria

'Cluster bombs pose a particular threat to civilians for 2 reasons: they have a wide area of effect & they have consistently left behind a large number of unexploded bomblets. The unexploded bomblets can remain dangerous for decades' @simoncoveney @MichealMartinTD

'Cluster munitions are prohibited by the Convention on Cluster Munitions, adopted in Dublin in May 2008. 120 states have joined the Convention.'

Russia has not, & with Assad routinely uses these weapons which have devastating impact on civilians esp children in Syria.
