I know people liked to claim that the Irish system was set up so this wouldn't happen but it was clear this was only a matter of time. Hope this wakes a few people up about the self ID system here.

“Currently undergoing a male to female transition” - so changing their name? Maybe growing out their hair? Seven words that could mean so many different things

It will be interesting to see how this plays out on Irish Twitter. According to the Irish woke this would never happen and according to the rules this was not supposed to happen. Interesting too that Yaniv has not been discussed at all and the Minister of Women has been unusually silent in recent days.

Aren't we a grand woke little country all the same?

Sure so long as we're more Catholic woke than those heathens bigots in England, what could possibly go wrong?

Let's hope it gets plenty of publicity as the general public are always thrilled to hear about male born sex offenders / paedophiles being placed in a women's prison. Confused

'It was feared she would be attacked in the male prison.' Then why not give this sex offfender protective status in the male prison, rather than put the sex offender in the female prison and then provide protective status, when in reality what they are protecting is the female population in that prison against this sex offender?

or are the other prisoners, women, being protected from this sex offender?

I'd imagine they're doing it to protect the other prisoners, but it's more cost effective and sensible to keep security around the trans prisoner than to give every woman an individual security guard.

This never happens

I thought Ireland housed transgender prisoners according to their birth sex?

Interesting framing. Is it this a single prisoner who is being given protective status by being accompanied at all times, or are the other prisoners, women, being protected from this sex offender?
