Women's rights under attack

a few people have mentioned Christian Men, this is exactly what Hillary Clinton is getting lambasted for at the moment. These are all imported problems in people’s heads, there not the problems facing the 17-25yr old women and dare I say it guys at the moment. Pointing at religious men or stay at home moms/trad wives is just parroting American leftists and NGO’s. It’s not real word Irish problems.

There’s a massive societal shift in Ireland that has swung a bit too far left and is currently rebalancing trying to find the new normal, there’s a whole generation that were denied a wright or passage, we’ve massive drug issues, violence, mental health, housing problems etc, 4th wave Feminism is a much to blame as Christian men but neither of them really are they’re just all part of the upheaval people are struggling with. Both sexes have lost their traditional roles, not necessarily all for the better.
I do think the GRA should be done away with, there shouldn’t be any doubt what a woman is, I’m pretty sure medically transient kids will be seen as a barbaric crime in the future here, it’s not ethical it’s criminal. It would be great if we just accepted that and took the whole trans thing off the debate table. More pressing issues that need intervention now.

Saying it’s a trans issue is lazy thinking. Crikey..

We’ve had wonderful expressive non-conforming females & males over the years who have expressed their individuality through their many creative choices of who they want to be and be seen as.. reinventing themselves as they mature and change. Unique, intelligent, expressive and beautiful, all of them. But none have ever tried to dismantle another groups rights. Ever.

This is about a woman’s right to say No. A woman’s choice. Their voice.. but for sure a man comes along and states: this isn’t about women’s right, but anti-trans. Good grief!

The weak illogical replies in this thread are a symptom of the systemic embedded disregard to anything a woman says.

Isn’t it time people wound their necks in and engage their noodle to think objectively as to why women are saying no? As is their right.

But hey.. let’s make this thread about trans by repeating it is about trans, says the crowd complaining it’s about trans.. lol.

Trump made the right move our Goverment should do the same and put an end to it. The American society of plastic surgeons is calling for a ban on gender surgerys until at least 19 due to a lack of evidence and the risks out weighing the benifits, A detransitioner has been awarded 2 milion because a double mastecomy was preformed on her. Then we have our future Taoiseach and minister for finance all smiles with Sidbh Gallagher. The whole thing is bonkers.

I have shared changing rooms and toilets with trans women and don't have a problem with it or a concern with it. And please stop being so derogatory as to refer to them as "bloke wearing a dress". In fact a lot of the trans women I have met don't wear dresses at all.

Again, I, as a woman, have no issue sharing a space with a trans woman. My only issue with any woman (trans or cis) in a private space is that they act respectful to people. Like not filming videos in bathrooms - I don't want anyone doing that no matter who they are. As for sports competitions - well I think a lot of that depends on the sport in question and the level of hormone therapy the individual is on and how that affects the testosterone level in their system. If the testosterone is at a similar level to a cis-woman, I see no problem in it personally.

If you want to look at it from an interesting perspective - Iran actually has one of the highest rates of gender re-assignment in the world as they don't recognise trans individuals until gender reassignment and there are no rights for gay or non-binary individuals. This pushes a lot of people towards gender reassignment. Now I'm not saying that's right either but I do think it's interesting how they're able to get their heads around it and allow post surgery individuals to fully identify as that gender in society & sport.

Ok but neither do your rights trump theirs. It's a lovely merry go round of the fact that we all have rights.

And unless you actually go up to someone are you able to tell just by looking who is trans? Or who might just be quite a masculine looking cis-woman? I mean is someone going to start checking people going into changing rooms in a clothes shop to see if their trans or cis? And is that not just a violation of everyone's rights? And when do you think it might be ok - I mean if someone has had gender reassignment surgery, is taking hormones & is living as a woman, can they be let into female toilets then? Is it not also inherently dangerous for a trans woman to have to use the men's bathroom as they may be subject to assault of any nature?

You will not support them being eroded is fine but that is your opinion, I have mine. And yours doesn't trump mine as mine doesn't trump yours.

She should be locked up, how people voted for the other fella I’m still in awe. https://gcn.ie/thisisme-steering-committee-trans-healthcare/

That’s an awful article. A weak opinion peice at best. I don’t think it has anything to do with feminism either, just a flimsy loose connection.

I’m aware of the stats that say different, but I’m do not know any father in my social or wider family circle who doesn’t raise their kids well to best of their ability. Yes, mothers tend to do more of the emotional heavy lifting (unfairly I might add) but kids hugely benefit if that’s shared equally between both parents.

It’s a no brainer then that women need to have equality with their partner when raising kids, an equal contribution to parenting and no one should never ever get bogged down or become anxious on how their kids are going to turn out.

I also don’t think there should be any difference between how girls & boys are treated in terms of behaviour, attitude and respect. But you’ll never get that from a kid until you freely give it.

Raising an individual is the most important, one who can navigate their own way through life.

Equality in parenting is the bees knees if you’re lucky enough to get it, that is..

I’ve written plenty, so fill your boots and run along with your nonsense.
