These are great, thanks for posting Puckeen.
There was an article in the Irish Times yesterday by Una Mullally, about Irish Feminism not needing a British Court to tell us what to think - isn't it funny how Wrap the Green Flag Round Me Boys comes out when the UK SC says women a biological women??
To tell you the truth, I didn't have the strength to read it, the headline was enough - I can only deal with so much genderwoo🙄But I hope stronger women than me have written in to respond to her.
Letter-writing/emailing our TDs would be a good idea, to leverage the publicity from the UK SC ruling. It was such clear and common-sense ruling, that it makes anyone who disagrees with it look like a bit of an eejit.
On a more cerebral note, the ruling make the point that interpreting the word 'woman' in any way other than the understanding it had at the time the legislation was passed results in making the law 'incoherent'
[that's my paraphrasing].
If that is true, then the retrospective replacing of the word 'sex' with the ill-defined word 'gender' has resulted in great incoherence in our equality laws - and the removal of legal protection from women meaning biological women.
The UK SC ruling obviously has no legal force here, but I can't help wondering if the Irish judiciary and legal profession are looking over beyond and thinking hmmmmm... their lordships have a point
