Irish Minister for children appears to be mates with Peter Tatchell

Yes, Flores. Yes indeed.

Last sentence of GRIPT article.
That is what we know, but what we have to decide, based on the evidence available to us, is if Peter Tatchell’s explanations are probable.

I've read through their quotes from Mr Tatchell, who unreservedly condemns paedophilia. In his shoes, I think I would be shouting that quite loudly.

There were many instances (referred to in the Gript piece you linked) where he reviewed a book, or penned a chapter or wrote obituaries where, subsequently, the author or subject was revealed to have concerning views on Paedophilia.

One could suggest that Mr Tatchell might take greater care in researching the backgrounds of people with whom he is associated.

One could say the same about Mr O'Gorman.

Well I read that interview with Tatchell and thought Tatchell denied all associations with his previous views and said he abhorred the abuse of children and condemned all sex with children - so where does that leave us? Apart from the Transgender kids issue which O'Gorman is promoting.

This popped up in my twitter feed today:

gript.ie/peter_tatchell_see_no_evil/

I have no idea who gript are ,.or of their credentials but they seem to have done a fairly forensic examination of Tatchells words on the issue, both spoken and written, and have also spoken to Tatchell himself.

The piece is carefully neutral and unemotional, but makes concerning reading.

He says a nine year old was ok with sex? Wtf.
Has he even heard of grooming. No one in my life would think a nine year old capable of choosing to have sex. Ffs

Also the man was 50 when he told this tale, so it's ok to let children have sex cos ya know they probably wont regret it, indeed even like it and be completely unaware of any grooming, also maybe even at 50 years old the man felt some shame at this abuse (and it is still abuse even if he truly was ok with it) and to cover the shame and make himself feel better about what happened, he made the narrative that he wasnt groomed and he liked the sex.

All the usual things that abused children do in fact.

Peter Tatchell has become a deeply sinister figure. He uses such a rational, calm presentation to twist notions of freedom and consent into a full on attack on safeguarding. That video is chilling.

I think 2015, the website which created the video use here:

thelachatupdate.com/2015/12/14/lgb-no-platforms-guest-speaker/

I think it is from 2015 - he looks quite old there.

Is that from 2015? ItsAllGoingToBeFine?
If that's so, then hardly the 1970's, as his supporters are prone to suggest.

A nine year old. Bloody hell, that's horrible.

That video is very alarming, ItsAllGoingToBeFine.

And it's part of a pattern - this video, the letter to the Guardian, the book chapter, the interview with the 14-year old on his website. Also let's not forget the fulsome obituary he wrote of gay rights campaigner Ian Dunn:

www.independent.co.uk/news/obituaries/obituary-ian-dunn-1151494.html

Dunn was also a co-founder of the Paedophile Information Exchange. Tatchell claims not to have known that when he wrote the obituary, just as he claimed the Guardian letter was edited, but frankly, it's a funny coincidence, isn't it?

And this is a man who's trying to influence schools to teach children about masturbation in RSE lessons.

I don't think this has been posted yet?

It popped up on my twitter feed today. At about 3;30 onwards Tatchell discusses how some children have consensual non harmful sex with adults.

Well politics.ie banned all discussion of Roderic and Peter as far as I can figure out. Tells everything really.

But I'm very wary of anything that seems racist, homophobic or pro life either, or against any kind of sex ed for kids.

I would not advise anybody to look to politics.ie for informed debate on feminism or women’s rights or transgender - you might as well be on Reddit with the number of TRAs on there.

Imnobody4 Thank you for the link.
I've a great regard for John Connors, and more so now, reading what he had to say. I'm heartened to see the turn out in Dublin.

The first thing he tackles when he becomes minister for children, the most important thing he says is for children to have access to sexual transitional therapy, that's the first thing, not end child poverty in Ireland, not end child homeless in Ireland , he didn't say I'm going to make sure that children are not living in a hostel, they're not going to be living in a hotel or parks or in tents, no they have easier access to an operation that's very serious and irreversible and that's why Roderic o'gorman is not fit to be minister for children

Reading this one at the moment.

Well that was hard going. Seems the only parties that are concerned for children are the right wing Catholic types. I'm not sure which TDs to tackle.

I might sign up. I find boards.ie and politics.ie hard to trawl through. Askaboutmoney is great but it really is mainly askaboutmoney...

How will I find this article on the Property Pin? Is there a link?

An Irish property website - that’s what it’s come to!!!! It’s all one word.

What's the property pin?

If you are looking for detailed but shocking info on this story read the property pin - I kid you not. Someone on there has done huge research. It is mind blowing and very scary. Also in despair at Simon Coveny tweeting his support for Roderic against the homophobic attack 🙄🙄🙄🙄 there really isn’t room for the swivel of my eyeballs at that one.

It is sickening how these clever sociopaths are using the imbeciles we have elected - and I include all the Wokus Dei who voted in 2015 - to overthrow the protections we have so recently attained for our children and for women on this sad little island.

I was talking with some colleagues (all mid thirty) at work about this during the week. They looked at me as if I was crazy. I think they thought I was becoming a conspiracy theorist

People are completely unaware of what is happening as media attention has largely ignored the issue. But when you see what is happening in the UK it is very worrying
For example, the pronouns at work thread or the self ID woman vacancy in a rape crisis centre thread.Nobody would believe these things could really happen but they are.
