Fuck that, Bloody Liar!!

'I don't know anything about the case, I first saw it reported at the weekend' ... I live in France and I know about this case and have done for a long time. 'If the situation that arose in Scotland has now arisen in Ireland we are going to have to deal with it in a similar way' Why repeatedly bring Scotland into this - own your own mistakes. This was not right when it first happened and it is not right now.

This case has been in the public eye for a long time and if it were not, there were sufficient concerns about this particular person that it should have been brought to the attention at the highest levels.

There are approximately 500 female prisoners in Ireland ( and 4,500 male prisoners) - it is not beyond the expectations of the average person that the government would be aware of the most extreme cases in the country. As far as I can tell, this person has been in Limerick Prison since at least September 2020.

LV has spoken about listening to the voices from those most affected :
https://www.breakingnews.ie/ireland/varadkar-says-irfu-should-listen-to-trans-players-excluded-from-contact-rugby-1348961.html?fbclid=IwAR0-UVh0U0l7-4JJ_yf646A_51Qw28-7ztAfM2lg-Ow6xGpveuu_8f8jNk8

but only if those most affected are male - it would seem.

Putting 4 men in front of the camera for this - not a good luck and the other men need media training - inability to maintain eye contact front and centre is not good.

Barbie Kardashion

Haunting case of a troubled and violent teen who now identifies as a “woman” and is housed in the female prison estate.

Thank you, 'Isla Bryson'. You're a worthless, raping piece of shit, but in being what you are you've brought down the First Minister of Scotland and scared the crap out of the Taoiseach and the leader of the Labour Party.

This article is using ‘gender assigned at birth’ and female pronouns for BK - I’m pleased the case is getting useful news coverage nowadays (unlike in the past) but the obsfucating language is confusing and minimising of the issues.

CreationNat1on · 21/03/2023 23:27

This is fantastic, but why the hell is it not on the news in Ireland?

Return2thebasic · 21/03/2023 23:20

Wow!!! Truly, can I believe the tide is turning??? 🌊🌊

OneOfThoseOldFashionedWomen · 21/03/2023 23:18

I'm furious. I'm furious that such stupid people can get into the positions which have made this possible, and I'm even more furious for all the women who have been terrorised and tortured whilst being held captive.

Amen

"Ireland has self ID and there are no problems there."

Yeah right, said everyone who wasn't born yesterday.

Trans snails are snails…until they loose their shell. Then they’re sluggish..

Boiledbeetle · 21/03/2023 22:41

These things go at snail pace.

Not everyone that thinks they are something else should be rewarded for that fact.

Unless they put in as much effort as this guy, then I'll agree they are whatever they say they are.

Women have been saying that this would happen/was happening for years and were told to shut up and be nice.

This was the obvious consequence of the Irish GRA, I remember saying it in a comment section when the GRA was introduced and was responded to with "Jesus wept"

Why is this a biological male because of imprisonment but would be a "woman " if they wanted to play sport or access womens spaces or opportunities

IMHO if Isla Bryson hadn't brought down Nicola Sturgeon he would still be TWAW

No men full stop.
None.
Never.

Now do something about it, you disingenuous prick.

No violent men in women’s goals.

No violent men.
In women’s goals.
Violent men.
In women’s goals.
men,
In women’s goals.

People from all over the world are tweeting in response to LHB that they knew about BK and others are saying they have been tagging LV about it for at least two years.

I was even reminded that Blaire White did a video about the case.

I doubt he will be held to account for telling a bare faced lie.

ArabellaScott · 21/03/2023 21:54

Twitter seems keen to discuss Varadkar's awareness.

If people weren't aware of Barbie before - and remember reporting was taken down by Tusla before - then they bloody well ought to be aware now.

I can't believe we are celebrating this, I mean, it's good news and obviously the law needs to change but how in the ever loving fuck did we get to a place where stating the blindingly fucking obvious "men shouldn't be in women's prisons" even needs to be said, considered, handwrung about??
I'm furious. I'm furious that such stupid people can get into the positions which have made this possible, and I'm even more furious for all the women who have been terrorised and tortured whilst being held captive.
It's evil that this was ever not only allowed to happen but there are people out there sick enough to actively campaign for it and be allowed to get their way at the expense of the dignity and safety of the most vulnerable women.

Boiledbeetle · 21/03/2023 21:35

I refuse to believe that this man did not know who Barbie Kardashian was until the weekend.

Are politicians actually allergic to the truth?

Michael Martin looked seriously pissed off and Roddy looked fairly shifty.
It is a disgrace that very few mainstream media have pushed this. The only one I can think of is Mark Tighe.

Micheál Martin probably thinking : ' Bastard! I was gonna say that...'
