Introduce a requirement for provision of gender-neutral public toilet facilities. Add protection for transgender and intersex people by introducing hate crime legislation. The Green Party supports the amendment of the Gender Recognition Act 2015 to include recognition of non-binary and non-gendered individuals, and to facilitate gender recognition for people under the age of 18. We believe that further policies need to be implemented to support transgender and intersex people in Ireland, including better education to reduce transphobic bullying in schools.

Why is he given this platform? If you are worried about the side effects of puberty blockers at least learn what they are called. Similarly if he WAS a doctor he would know synthetic hormone therapy is not typically used in children under 16. If he were a doctor he would know the difference between puberty blockers and synthetic hormone treatment. As it goes he is not a doctor. In fact i would wager when he is on TV any doctor that has treated a trans person sighs and goes 'Oh no this idiot again'.

Yes puberty blockers are some serious ****! I wouldn't recommend them. Unless you are going through gender dysphoria ...and even then ..i mean if you can make to 18 without them ..probably better ..if you can't you can't and then you NEED them.

The funny thing is ...its people like HIM who will look at a transperson ..who has NOT taken puberty blockers or hormones because of PRECISELY the reasons he talks about and mis gender them....'look they haven't even tried!'.

You cant just say whatever you like.You wouldnt walk up to a random trans person on the street and start spewing hate and abuse at them so why would it be ok to do it on the internet where thousands of trans people can view it? Seems cowardly that people feel social media gives them a safe space to bully other people.
