10 years ago, there was only a single 'leathceann' (windswept) birch tree in the foreground. Now, there's a full-on exploding diverse native rainforest, none of which was planted. All it took was fencing out sheep. Let's rewild the world 🌏

It's amazing what not having an organised anti-trans media is like. Today is the VHI women's mini marathon in Dublin. They allow trans women to compete. I went searching on X for the permanently outraged and found only 2 posts from an Irish transphobe account, one had only 30 views, the other 346

Last night i spoke of the afterlives of Irish revolutionary women in the Free State-a state which defined a narrow model of what it meant to be an Irish woman. Anyone who did not live up to that model was surveilled, shamed and/or institutionalised! Narrow definitions of womanhood harm all women.

A quote from "The Lion Women of Tehran" by Marjan Kamali that says: That's how losses of rights build. They start small. And soon, the rights are stripped in droves...First, they'll say it's required only in government offices or shops. Then schools. Eventually, we worry, we will lose the freedom of choice altogether.

Am I surprised that I got another bullshit copypaste press release answer from someone in David Cullinane's office who knows nothing? No. But that doesn't make the spineless collaboration with transphobic policies any less infuriating.
Screenshot of email reading: "Orla, a chara, Thank you for your email and I appreciate the concern you are raising.

The decision in the Executive was taken following the advice of medical officers in the Department of Health in the north. The Executive unanimously made a decision to implement the recommendation of the Commission on Human Medicines to prevent the sale of puberty blockers until the completion of clinical trials, with a review of this policy scheduled for 2027."Screenshot of the second half of that email reading: "This decision was not made lightly and it is in line with party policy, as adopted at the Ard Fheis, which commits us to advancing the best support and care for transgender people based on medical and scientific advice and evidence.
We are committed to improving care and support for transgender people on the basis of equality and with respect for the individual at its core.

Is mise le meas,
Daniel Keating | Cúntóir Parlaiminte agus Comhairleoir Polasaí 

Oifig David Cullinane TD | Waterford | Sinn Féin spokesperson on Health"Screenshot of my reply reading: "Thank you for replying. It concerns me that someone in the health brief and member of Sinn Féin would consider the internationally criticised, hand picked by the Conservative party Cass Report as best medical evidence. 
It concerns me that you don't see the inherent contradiction in having a medication banned for trans kids as "dangerous" when it is still available to even younger cis children and considered safe. Medication that has been in use for 40 years and has been through clinical trials already.
It concerns me that your office apparently has paid no attention to the clearly ideological reasons for this ban both in Britain and similar ones the US which led to still rising suicide rates among trans youth. I wonder where that factors into your mental health plan. Will the executive use the same copy and paste press release answer to their families when it happens on this island?
It is beyond disappointing that your office did so little research on this topic and further demonstrates the lack of care you've given these issues, which were not given space in the health strategy. 
I wish I could say the latest betrayal of queer Republicans was a surprise, but it isn't. I hope the executive continues to consider aligning themselves ideological with the DUP to be worth it."
