Irish Times: An insightful column from Roe here with some well written bits:

"No party or politician attacking trans people has ever meaningfully protected women’s rights outside the narrow, hostile frame they use to justify disempowering trans people"

Ireland: Trans woman takes legal action after her child is denied Irish citizenship (she has now been given leave to bring the challenge against the Minister for Foreign Affairs.)

The woman's case states that it would be "discriminatory" if she has to claim to be the child's "father" in order for her child to be granted Irish citizenship.

A letter in the Sunday Independent 🇮🇪 today; related to an article by transphobic author John Boyne who is a public admirer of Rowling (which tells you a lot)

Good on ya, Bernie 🫶

#Ireland #IE

Madam, On checking my diaries, I discover that I weighed just under ten stone in 2015, at the time the Gender Recognition Act came into law.

Far from being erased, as John Boyne would have it, there appears to be considerably more of me today. I wholeheartedly support the rights of transgender people to live their best, authentic lives and, as a woman who has been a feminist since the 1970s, I know that this does not affect my rights in any way.

The 10,000 people who marched at Trans and Intersex Pride in Dublin last month would seem to agree. The “greatest sin of our time” is not transphobia but, as so often in our past, the failure to believe women when we tell you who we are.
