ncidentally these two are now two of the most glamorous, feminine women I know..

Er, so what?

EarringsandLipstick · 23/03/2023 11:15

There you go again with the assumptions

Oh so you did get involved in the consultation process? Great. It's funny then you keep referring to it as 'trans education' instead of the actual name.

If you write an email about 'Norma Foley supporting trans education' and suggested that schools were / would advocate mutilation, that's ranty

I feel based on your posts it's more of a hurler on the ditch you are being, to use a phrase.

the trans education hasn't started

It's not trans education. Get your terms correct FGS

I went on the countess fb page only 1600 followers. Looks like alot of Irish women habit heard of Countess.
Also I class any information my child receives in school as part of education. Trans information/education falls under SPHE education & should not be part of the curriculum.

To be fair, if it was staff in Wilson's Hospital school that instigated the They/Them pronouns, not the child/their family (which seems to be what's being reported now) then that is concerning and a clear over reach from the school.

Im no fan of Enoch or any of the Burkes for that matter, but the issue seems to have been very badly handled by the principal also.

Mommymoments · 23/03/2023 11:27

@TheKeatingFive yes absolutely, I linked the article earlier. The school is at fault. Why did the school label the child?

Oh leave her alone Earrings. Your posts come across as really sneery.

There are posters on this thread who are only just hearing about BK, let alone knowing about The Countess and the latest updates on various campaigns and knowing all the correct terminology to use.

So OP's doing valuable work even starting this thread.

We need as many women speaking out as possible, even if they use words you personally would not have chosen, even if they don't know everything, even if they're really fucking angry.

@LangClegsInSpace thank you for sticking up for me🙏I'm choosing to ignore @EarringsandLipstick I got a couple of pms from Irish posters to say she does this on other threads also & has been called up on it.
I only heard of the Countess this morning. It only has less than 1,600 fb followers which is tiny percentage given the size of our population so it's obviously not mainstream but needs to be. It looks like a very pro active organisation

They're much more active on Twitter than FB I think.

TheKeatingFive · 23/03/2023 11:43

The Countess has been doing sterling work for years now, but it needs to hit mainstream press before most people pay attention. Which is why it's great to see Newstalk take up the mantle.

Mommymoments · 23/03/2023 11:43

I'm not on twitter much but I'll follow them.

I would fully support the Countess or similar groups coming into the schools from primary level up but obviously wouldn't fit the government agenda 🙄

Thanks for letting me know @LangClegsInSpace I signed up there. I also forwarded to my sisters & close mum friends. In my little circle we're all very concerned recently since the proposed changes to the SPHE sex education segment.

Hoping this story maintains its momentum for the sake of Irish women and girls.

On the subject of men taking the piss by dressing in clownish Womanface, look up Dylan Mulvaney and ask yourselves why the Biden administration is fawning so pathetically over this individual.

I've seen a lot of jokes and there is a lot of sneering about him, but I wonder if he would be hailed as some kind of a hero if his stance had been for the use of pronouns/name changes against the stance taken by the school (if they had refused it, of course)?

didn't Kamala Harris sent him a letter congratulating him on having been a girl for 365 days?

Dylan is an absolute joke,cringey stuff altogether. I saw that Kamala Harris also sent a letter to celebrate 365 days of girlhood to Dylan, its like a parody.

@potniatheron what will happen in 5 years time when he's free to roam the streets again?

I don't know I'm not a soothsayer...?

But based on the reported nature of his crimes and his reported statements about his crimes, I reckon he's going to kill somebody.

TodayInahurry · 23/03/2023 12:48

The Irish government seem to have swallowed all the far left ideology including the evil trans nonsense very sad for females
