If Gemma got naked in front of the camera she would probably increase her viewership 100 fold but it's a political show and that will always come second place to entertainment. It's still early days for Gemma, she's building her profile on YouTube and the progress thus far has been decent.

But I would take ICT from my point of view.... That 2nd paragraph has gone full tinfoil hat brigade..... but I for one welcome our new luciferian worshipping overlords.

You may believe her to be a bigot.. That's fine. But she's not railing against mythical unicorns but the fact that they are being used to explain Gender beliefs to kids. If you haven't heard of this then maybe Google 'Gender Unicorns' to find out more.

But the argument is that those (whoever they are) at the top believe in Lucifer. Another way of putting it is a number of years ago a conspiracy minded person explained to me that he didn't believe in Lucifer but the elites do. That's the difference. Sounds crazy right? Well do you believe that Witches are real and that the power of Witchcraft is real? I certainly don't but Minister for Children Katherine Zapoone does and is in fact a self described Witch. She has written academic papers which confirm her genuine belief in Witchcraft. So the idea that politicians, high-ups or the 'elite' have crazy beliefs is not so far fetched really.

Nobody talked about being gay, nobody every even mentioned it to me as a child. I was raised under the assumption I was straight, with my parents having raised me that way, my family was all straight, I never learned about 'gay stuff' until I was in secondary school, and even then it was all just whispered words and the odd thing on tv (inevitably that had a terrible ending for whatever gay characters there were). I'm 36 now and gay. I was always gay. I was never straight. I didn't learn about gay issues at an impressionable time and it took me until I was 21 to come out to myself and my family. I'm now a reasonably well adjusted, married woman with a good job, a good education, and I'm a fairly responsible adult with various responsibilities. But being forced all all the straight education in the world didn't make me straight. It's the same with gender. But there was a time in my teens when I was tempted to kill myself. I was tempted to do that because I was terrified I was the only person like me in the world, and CERTAINLY I was the only one in my little home town. i had to be, nobody talked about it. So I had some really dark dark times then. If someone in my school days had been like "hey, some people are gay that's fine" then my life in my teens would have been dramatically different. And safer. Which is why I will never ever ever stand by and let someone say 'we shouldn't teach kids about this stuff' because right now, whether YOU like it or not there's a little 7 year old freaking out because they think they're a freak, a weirdo, sick. Do you want their mental health on your conscience?

I notice there are very few down votes on YouTube, frankly I thought there would be a lot more. This tells me that perhaps people may not be actually watching but rather are relying on second hand information about her. Personally I always like to listen to a message myself whether I agree with it or not so I can fully grasp it and dismiss it with confidence.

Its no less strange tbh to me than being a devout catholic and plenty of them in power. Can I ask why you singled out Katherine Zappone, is it because she is a lesbian?
nozzferrahhtoo wrote: » I think "Crazy" is a value judgement we do not need. Better for me is to identify their core teachings are unsubstantiated delusions. There are no reasons at this time on offer to think there is a god, a Satan, or magical witches or unicorns. Or that Jesus and Mo were anything other than entirely normal every day humans assuming they both existed at all. One can not prove none of these things exist, but to operate under the illusion they do without a single piece of evidence that they do, is delusional really. Which is fine if you want to be deluded but I am unsure why we need to be indoctrinating children into the same delusions. At least when we tell children Transgender people exist, we have evidence that is actually true. There is however reasons to think the feelings behind transgenderism are real and that people are genuinely suffering because of them. And if there are procedures and processes by which their well being can be improved, I am for that. I am reading the text on that tweet above over and over and over and can not actually identify what triggered the Twitter user in question to become so offended by it. I am not seeing the "filth" in the text of the image. Could someone help me out there?
Auntie Semite wrote: » I obviously don't want anyone to suffer psychologically but I also don't want highly impressionable children to mutilate their bodies with surgery and hormones, destroy their genitals, permanently alter their bodily chemistry only to deeply regret it later and ultimately commit suicide. There's a huge difference between being gay which involves no body or hormonal modification and the type of transgenderism which does.

Because we are a small country we don't have many large newspapers and it would be great to have another investigative journalist. the problem is that she's jumped the shark. When she starts posting stuff like this, you know she's lost it.https://twitter.com/gemmaod1/status/1100371974319161344 At this point she's her own worst enemy. No-one will ever take her seriously and for good reason too.

Anyone over the age of 18 can self declare their gender contrary to a birth certificate. A teenager who is aged 16-17 can do so but it is a much stricter process. There is a 2-year wait to see an endocrinologist here in Ireland, in order to start medical transition, with starts with hormones. There are currently only TWO endocrinologists in Ireland working in the field of trans healthcare, for the estimated 1-2% of the population who are trans. There are NO surgeons operating in Ireland who will perform genital surgery. Significant research has been carried out by medical professionals, psychiatric professionals etc and the majority of these studies confirm that working with children who are gender variant in some way SAVES LIVES. Do yo know what the current rate of suicide is for trans youth? 78% of trans people have thought about committing suicide and 40% have attempted it. The reason most often given by trans people is because of the deep mental anguish experienced by being consistently misgendered and told, by people like you, that they are wrong. These number of trans people thinking about suicide etc AFTER transition reduces SIGNIFICANTLY and becomes more in line with the rest of society. Please educate yourself on gender and trans issues and research before making wild assumptions the issue.
