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.

A year went into writing it, but also the years researching for it in addition to the lives of myself & my participants. I am incredibly grateful to my participants for trusting me with their stories, I hope I did you justice.

Bob here. I still have the original pencil drawing I did of the pig. Scanned it and sent it to my daughter who converted it to the logo with photoshop. My goal was to make it simple and recognizable. (Guess it worked out)

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.

"Hey, do you want this contract? It's on site?" Where? "USA" Oh didn't they just declare trans people to be terrorists? "Oh, do you think X would go do this job?" No for the same reason. America doesn't want smart trans hackers securing their stuff they do not get smart trans hackers.

The Trump regime's HHS and Office of Population Affairs have released another anti-trans report claiming that trans people are violent, authoritarian, anti-democratic, and extremist. This is a massive escalation in state propaganda and nothing but a pretense for horrors to come.
New Research on Gender Ideology and Left-Wing Authoritarianism
Where the Clinic Meets the Movement: Does Gender Ideology Arm Left-Wing Authoritarian Psychology? is a report by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services examining the psychology behind strong support for radical gender ideology and left-wing authoritarianism.

She exemplified strength, acceptance, wisdom, wit, skill, goodness, bravery & unwavering integrity. Meanwhile, she was 5’ tall, unabashedly working class & hyperfeminine. She stood by us until the very end. Let her death serve as a reminder to be like her & not cave to fascism.

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.

I'm deeply ashamed of my profession. Its treatment of Jason Arday - right across the board - fills me with disgust and horror. The tormenting of a highly vulnerable man was seen as monetisable entertainment. This is a stain that won't wash off. bylinetimes.com/2026/08/19/j...

This was part of the anti-trans playbook, “big pharma is banking it”. Bad faith shit. Zero interest in what happens to intersex kids, no interest in what the effects of diethylstilbestrol. Just endless persecution & scapegoating of those who disrupt hegemonic norms. Nazi shit.
