Once again it needs to be stressed that this is something happening across the board in Irish immigration- changes in practice leading to refusals that would not have occurred in previous years. We are in a very dark time for the rights of people migrating to Ireland and their families.

Congratulations Addy! This is such an important publication - a whole book on intersex ageing, rescuing the topic from something that might get mentioned as a limitation in research into LGBTQIA ageing, into something about which we now have actual empirically-derived knowledge.

When we encounter new information, our brains create a neural pathway for that information and it keeps trying to keep that connection, even if it’s wrong. First impressions, misinformation…our brains can’t help but be impacted.

As I keep saying: there is a class of people who have absolutely radicalised themselves to very extreme political positions, completely taken leave of their senses. And we know about this because they write about it for a living, they can’t wait to tell us all about their new epiphanies.

So on the asylum brochure debate someone posted something genuinely interesting. And apologies, I just lost your post so can't credit.
They said we should restrict asylum to women and children. And I think there's potentially something in that.

What Féile an Phobail row has shown is that women’s rights are at risk — just not from a tiny trans minority
Belfast Telegraph27 Jul 2026ALLISON MORRIS
I’ve thought long and hard about commenting on the controversy over the cancellation of the Women’s Rights Network (WRN) event at Féile an Phobail — not because I don’t have an opinion, but because it is a debate that attracts the most toxic elements.

WRN NI was not a group I was familiar with beforehand, so I did some research.

No speakers were listed in the Féile programme for the planned event, which in itself is odd as there are for almost every other of the 90-plus debates and discussions.

The group has since announced who its speakers were to be in a series of online posts.

My research took me down quite the rabbit hole — a who’s who of the anti-trans movement not just on this island but Europe-wide.

I don’t pretend to understand their motivation.

In fact, I remain baffled as to why in one of the most dangerous places for women to live in Europe, the group — which has spoken out about femicide before — is obsessing about a small minority instead of the actual dangers we face from domestic violence and femicide.

I have worked for decades covering violence against women and girls in all the distressing forms that takes.

I know the names of every woman and child murdered in Northern Ireland in the last 10 years without even having to look them up.

Not a single one was caused by a trans woman — I checked the list twice just to be sure.

None of them were murdered in a public toilet either, which having looked at the online posts of WRN and their many affiliates, is apparently the most dangerous place on earth for women, with trans predators lurking in every cubicle.

Apart from the absurdity of much of the group’s argument regarding the perceived dangers of trans women, the claim that women are being silenced by Féile is the most disingenuous of them all.

The FRC announced their plans to do exactly this on YouTube almost a decade ago but it seems like trans people were the only ones who watched it. They announced their plans and they’ve been wildly successful.
