    It was so much easier to blame it on Them. It was bleakly depressing to think that They were Us. If it was Them, then nothing was anyone's fault. If it was us, what did that make Me? After all, I'm one of Us. I must be. I've certainly never thought of myself as one of Them. No one ever thinks of themselves as one of Them. We're always one of Us. It's Them that do the bad things.

    Bernard & Terry Reed, founders of Gender Identity Research and Education Service (GIRES) and authors of many invaluable transgender resources, will discuss how to put theory into practice, the challenges ahead and the benefits of using a best practice model of transgender healthcare.
    Dr Tomas Ahern, Endocrine Unit, St Colmcilles Hospital, Loughlinstown, will speak about Endocrinology and Hormone Therapy for transgender people in Ireland. He will also discuss the services provided, barriers in service provision and how they can be addressed.
    A General Practitioner (TBC) will speak on how primary health care workers can address the needs of their transgender clients and their families. This will include referral pathways, monitoring of treatment, counselling and other needs of transgender clients.
    This seminar will be of enormous benefit to general practitioners, primary health care providers, endocrinologists, mental health workers, transgender people and their families, social care workers, school principals and other interested parties.
    Lunch will be provided free of charge. Parking is available. If you need further information or if you are interested in attending, please contact Vanessa Lacey:
    RSVP before 14th February 2013 to Vanessa@teni.ie

    Whatever the members feel like - I don't particularly mind if there are social events put up - It could potentially get very cluttered if every single event in the George and Panti were put up though - I'm easy - if there is a big demand to have one or other or both then we can go with that

    Yeah I agree with one off events. Like not posting about regular gay nights but say if there was a pub quiz on in the Front Lounge for example? Or a brand new night?

    Wonder why they don't make it the same weekend as Dublin Pride. Actually is there Pride days in other cities in Ireland (eg Galway etc.) and if so are they on the same day?

    The prides are usually on different days that way people can travel round and go to a few off the top of my head pride is celebrated in cork, galway, kerry, belfast, waterford, sligo, dublin, and derry ( called foyle pride ) there may well be more. The dublin pride is usually in and around the anniversary of the stonewall riots

    I listed all the pride dates above

    The first date is the date of the parade or main event

    They are all staggered from May to September which I think is a good idea

    They spread them out so people can attend more than one. If they were all on the one day, each one would have less people attending. I'll hopefully be going to Dublin Pride and definitely Belfast Pride the following Saturday.

    Belfast was left out, that's why I added it in a separate post :)
