..against Self ID outside Leinster House.

It was my very first protest Grin and I was a bit nervous going in on my own, but everyone I spoke to was really lovely and I'm so glad I went.

It was wonderful to have these conversations with other women about Self ID in Ireland and know that we are not alone. There was a few speakers, including Ceri Black, Graham Linehan and Laoise Uí Aodha de Brún. All very inspirational, it feels like there is some momentum gathering.

I hope this is the first of many!!

I only found out about it yesterday - I'm on the mailing list for the Countess, they didn't give too much notice, I think to stop any counter-protests.

Another group there was Radicailin , they were handing out flyers. I took a few home, I might post them in a few letterboxes around where I live Grin.

Anyway, there was a good turnout, maybe 40 people or more, so I think they will organise more meetups. If you're on social media #SaveOurSpaces is the one they are using.

Also there was a photographer from the Irish Times, so hopefully it will get some coverage.

I didn't know it was happening, or I would have been there. How did you find out about it?

I wish I could have been there!!
