Shout out to anyone here who is Welsh, Scottish or Irish!

Except for the Cardiff bubble and maybe one or two university towns, I really don't believe that most Welsh people believe in gender ideology in the same way as trans activists do. They either don't care or they would think it was incoherent nonsense if you explained it to them (especially some of the issues around sex segregated facilities).

Is it the same in Scotland, Northern Ireland and Ireland?

I see it as yet another example of deep rooted misogyny in Ireland. I was saddened by the fact that a TD put forward a suggestion that the abortion amendment should be written in gender neutral language.

Is Barbie Kardashian on anyone's radar? Hasn't been reported in the news very much, at least, not the full story.

There are a lot of people in Ireland who see self id as a logical next step to the rights to gay marriage and the right to abortion which were big changes in Ireland. Sadly, self id was not publically debated in the way these other topics were.

Sadly in Ireland we are not paying attention to what is happening. No one is really speaking about this. Too many people trying to be nice and not to offend anyone.

Was sneakily brought this into Ireland without any proper discussion with anyone or thought to the impact it would have on women's rights

Sharp intake of breath is the most reaction people who had no idea of what self id is or means for our country when mentioning this current case. It's frustrating 😤

The Barbie Kardassian stuff is drawing a few people's attention to what has been sneaked into Irish law.

Lots of Gender Critical Feminists in Cardiff

I’m in NI. Tbh trans/self ID just isn’t something that comes up in conversation in any of the circles I run in. I have brought it up a few times with different people to try and gauge the general opinion but people are pretty oblivious to the whole thing. “Self ID” isn’t a term people have heard of, they have no idea there is a GRA or what the implications are. The only other person who has mentioned a trans issue to me is another MNer who knows I am a MNer too.

Seem to be plenty of TRAs IN Scotland.

Absolutely OP. I don't believe the 'werin bobol' (your average Welsh person) would have any time for this nonsense. Unfortunately Plaid are fully behind the whole trans and non-binary movement. The one PC Assembly Member who's spoken out in support of women's rights is constantly being hounded for being a 'transphobe'. Unfortunately this very vocal minority are very influential and most outside that bubble are either too scared to speak out or are unaware of it.

Well unfortunately Ireland has self ID
:-/

SNP are believers, yes. Anyone I have explained the whole thing to in RL, nope.

Aesopfable · 04/10/2020 12:05

The SNP leadership (and therefore the party faithfully dutifully follows in line) are transactivists
