WOMEN'S SPACE IRELAND EVENT IN DUBLIN:

 

Saturday November 11th 2022, witnessed an eclectic gathering of Women and their Male supporters, who came together to voice their opposition to efforts to undermine the status of and protections afforded to, Women in Ireland.

I was one of the attendees at this sold out event.
As well as gaining a lot from the various inspirational speakers, I was also delighted to hear of the great plans to further spread our message and fight back against the repressive ideology.

As the event continued apace, I took synopsised notes, detailing the various issues the speakers raised.

Here is my synopsis:

(N.B. due to the need to answer the call of nature etc I missed the chance to note a small bit of the speeches etc)

1ST SPEAKER ISEULT WHITE:

Iseult began her speech by firmly making it clear that she thought hate crime is awful.
It is awful for people to be targeted simply because they come from a particular country or are targeted due to their skin colour etc.
Also spoke of the hate she has personally received due to being Lesbian.
Only 7% of Hate Crime reports to the police are fully dealt with.
The  percentage of prosecutions is declining, while the number of reported alleged incidents is increasing.   
True hate crime incidents are going unpunished, while vexatious allegations are initially given credence by the powers that be; before being dropped.
She has serious concerns regarding the proposed Hate Speech laws in Ireland.
Many of the Heads of the Bill are very vague and the law could be very open to trget Women who speak up for their Rights.
Ironically; in the drive to supposedly being about a more diverse society, they are seeking to seriously clamp down on the diverse strands of speech and thought.
Iseult also spoke about the backlash the IRFU received when it announced moves designed to protect Females who play Rugby.
Regarding the planned Hate Crime law it is contradictory to say the least,
While it appears it -  thankfully - clearly defines a persons' Sex; when it comes to the area of Gender , it is a case f "Whatever you are having yourself".

SPEAKER 2: CHRISTINA ELLINGTON:

Christina has appeared on court on Norway for merely saying "a Man cannot be a Woman, a Mother or a Lesbian"
Technically - under Norwegian Law - she could face 3 years in jail.
She was warned by Police that she was being investigated for "Hate Speech" under the Gender Identity Provisions of Norway's Hate Speech Law.
A Male born person who claims they are a Lesbian Mother and has a big hob with a leading Norwegian Trans Rights organisation, is the person who reported her to the Police.
She has now been interviewed by the Police for 9 hours in total, as they still deliberate over wheter or not she should be charged or not.
Remember - This is all because Christina simply and matter of factly stated that a Man cannot be a Woman, a Lesbian or a Mother!
Also remarked that a Male born person who claimed they were identifying and acting like a Woman because they supported Women's Rights; was akin to a person adopting Black Face and saying it was because they were Anti- Racist.

SPEAKER 3: ANYA PALMER:

Barrister Any Palmer spoke next and concentrated her speech on the legalistic ends of things.
She started off by listing the various changes in UK  Law to do with Women's Rights and Gender issues, since the 1970's.
Holding a Belief is absolutely protected in UK law but speaking about your beliefs does not.
It is qualified - a White Lie (E.G. saying to someone over the phone that your boss is not at his desk when they are) is not an issue - telling an egregious Lie is.
Anya then spoke about the machinations of the Forstater Case - of which she was one of the legal Representatives fighting on her behalf - and why it was that they won it.
EU Laws were a cornerstone in this case.

SPEAKER 4: COLLETTE COLFER:

Collette began by telling those assembled about the time she stood up at an Open Mic Poetry Night and recited a poem she had written, about Women.
It resulted in other writers demanding the event refrain from allowing such persons to speak in the future.
When a lecturer colleague at the institution she works at recited her poem to his students, some students complained the campus authorities.
Collette remarked as to how speaking out against Gender Identity is now seen as the modern day equivalent of Blasphemy.
Saying a Man cannot be a Woman is now akin to Blasphemy.
 She then reminded us how back in the day the Witch Trials, persecution of Jews etc of the Middle Ages also had enjoyed widespread support.

______________________________________________________________________________

SPEAKER 5: HELEN JOYCE: 
Gender Ideology truly began seeping into the UK Education system about ten years ago.
We are now seeing the consequences of this, in the rising numbers of Girls and Boys who prior to 'coming out' had no issues of note -  now  identifying as Non-Binary or Trans.
A lot of lobby groups such as Stonewall and Gendered Intelligence etc, have been going into schools to promote Gender Ideology.
They are telling very young kids in schools that Doctors merely GUESSED what they were at Birth and that you cannot really tell if you are a Boy or a Girl until you are older.
Trying to diminish the importance of the issue that is ones' Sex and trying to make the only thing that matter is Gender - is another thing these groups say.
Helen spoke about the importance of Parents finding out what their childs' school is teaching them - if at all - with regards the area of Sex and Gender.

SPEAKER 6: Professor Anne Lodge:

As well as being an instructor to educators, Anne is also a Church of Ireland Priest.
She spoke about the democratic  debates that are regularly  held at  church meetings and how it has steeled her in her determination to stand up and be counted on Gender Critical issues.
Anne then spoke of her concern that Gender Identity issues have been placed higher up a school's priority list than say the well being of disadvantaged pupils, or needs of students with a disability.
Also noted how a lot of school in Ireland, while being state funded are NOT state owned.
There are a lots of bodies with the status of "Educational partners", including Parents representative groups, organisations representing Teachers etc.
Various lobby groups dealing with Gender Ideology, have spent a lot of money and time trying to worm their way into schools.
 The NCCA and the INTO seem to have  very much fallen under their spell.
Some of these lobby groups are actively trying to encourage schools to NOT tell parents if thy find out a Pupil is seeking to Transition etc.
Like Helen,  Anne spoke about the importance of Parents checking out what their Childs school is doing - if anything - in relation to Sex and Gender issues.

SPEAKER 7:  DOCTOR MADELAINE NI DHAILÍGH - GP FROM GALWAY
Madelaine was previously  a Medical Officer in Castlerea Prison.
This has given her a greater insight into the grave dangers Women Prisoner in Ireland face,due to the State housing violent Male prisoners in Women's jails.
Many Women who end up in Jail had experience of being sexually abused, by a Male or Males,  in the past.
She then spoke about how 238 Boys and Girls from Ireland, were referred to the Tavistock Clinic in London.
Many clinicians who sounded the alarm over the actions of the Tavistock; were mightily relieved when Doctor Peter Cass took note of their concerns.
Doctor Ni Dhailigh also echoed the need for the state to provider far greater supports, so that persons with Gender Dysphoria etc, can get vital help in a timely manner.

SPEAKER 8: STELLA O MALLEY:

The decision of the National service in Loughlinstown Hospital  -from it's inception - to NOT follow the WPATH Guidelines - due to their dodgy advice,  needs to be applauded.
The dangerous advice given to Teens with issues E.G. Breast Binders are good for you,  yes you were born a boy but really you DO want to be a girl - is deeply troubling.
We really need to keep pushing back against the advice being peddled by various Gender Identity groups.
Stella then briefly touched on the issues around Anorexia and Bulimia and how and why issues that were once extraordinarily rare, had become common enough occurrences.
She referenced panic of schools and GP  Practices at the time, when the upward spike in Anorexia and Bulimia cases started -  many really hadn't a clue what to do.
The same scenario is now playing out with regards Pupils saying they are Non-Binary or Trans etc.
And just like Anorexia and Bulimia, it is becoming more bedded into society and is here to stay.
The Pile on's that are initiated online and elsewhere if people dare to espouse a differing view to the common consensus has made it harder for people to raise genuine concerns regarding the whole Gender debate,
Stella then told those assembled abut ho the Director of the programme on Gender issues that she made for Channel  4, has also made documentaries in various war zones over the years.  
He has told her that getting both sides of a war to talk face to face about the conflict was a lot easier than trying to get two opposing sides to debate the Gender vs Women's Rights issue.
She then spoke a bit about the Tavistock.
Many Trans Rights activists allege there has been a high suicide rate amongst the Trans population, that preventing Male born persons from accessing Female single sex spaces etc, will lead to many committing suicide etc.
However from 2010-2020 of the around 15,00 people who were seen by the Tavistok or were on a Waiting List to be seen, the number if persons who actually (sadly) took their own life was 4.
Stella spoke about  how each and every incidence of a person taking their own life was devastating and her heart went out to the family and friends of these people.
However the figures from the Tavistock are completely at odds with the mantra of various Trans Rights lobby groups.
