    Heck there is currently a post with over 100 thanks on a different Current Affairs thread which is making some fairly disparging coments towards pregnant trans men.

    Then isn’t it a bit of a song and a dance then?

    You see its all about funding. This is obviously linked to get some extra funding for the project. When you look into these things you see massive money changing hands. I am working on a much smaller college project with a different University and it is staggering the amount of money changing hands with so little uptake from the student.

    No clearly not....we don't have frat houses in limerick.
    I was simply giving an example of something vaguely similar that happens all the time elsewhere

    So there are no Opus Dei houses in Limerick?

    If some people stopped beating up LGBT people, there would be no need for a safe space for them in the first place.




    Phew. At least not all of us have to stop beating them up. Lets have a draw and randomly select 1% of the population who have to stop beating up the oul' LGBT people for a year. The rest would then be free to go about their normal LGBT bate'in daily routines. After the year is up the 1% can go back to normal.

    Okay once again I am going to restate that this accomodation, as explained in the article you linked, is for members of the LGBTQ+ and allied community.

    If you read the second paragraph of the article you linked you will find it says "The Irish Examiner is reporting that almost 200 students from more than 30 countries have applied to live in the accommodation, which has been designed specifially for students who identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, questioning, intersex or ALLIED."

    Allied person - is a heterosexual and/or cisgender person who supports equal civil rights, gender equality, and LGBT social movements, and challenges homophobia, biphobia, and transphobia. [Wikipaedia]

    Now one might think most people are allies, however this is certainly not always the case. Heck there is currently a post with over 100 thanks on a different Current Affairs thread which is making some fairly disparging coments towards pregnant trans men.
    I am agreeing with you....I am not sure why you are jumping down my blooming throat! So maybe wind your neck in chill out and read my posts.

    and to be really PC, one can read more propaganda about these allies on UCD's webpage - https://www.ucd.ie/lgbt/lgbt-ally.html
    for whoever doesn't feel like opening this sh*t while in work, my summary is ... there are few types of allies described there, such as the "good ally"" and the "trans* ally":
    "In many ways being a trans* ally is more demanding than being an LGB ally. A trans* ally is an ally with some extra points to look out for which can be seen below..."

    Stopped reading at that point.

    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.

    Ah this was bound to happen, the new trend in UL is to be the first to do everything...

    They are not being even the slightest bit innovative though. They are just copying and pasting stuff from the U.S. that is irrellevant here. It's a long time since the place was just about learning - it is now a bastion of agendas.

    You've heard of 'sanctuary cities' in the U.S. - oh well UL can do that too (no lies - check their link: https://www.ul.ie/courses/ul-university-sanctuary :D)

    Getting to the point there where free conversation will be banned and people will only be allowed to communicate with approved slogans. Irish university's seem to be spiralling into the same braindead morass of makey uppy words and slogans as their US counterparts.
