Thank you to the women (and men) who protested in Dublin today...

[CreepingDeath]

..against Self ID outside Leinster House.

It was my very first protest 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'm very confused why *@NitroNine* had her comment deleted?

Likewise, I didn't see any problem with it.

Why was NitroNine's message deleted? There's nothing offensive in it. Ridiculous!

Maybe all ferrets are VERY gender-critical & have there has been a mass mustelid reporting as they object to their views being so grossly misrepresented?

Seriously though, it’s not long I’ve been posting & I’ve had no message to explain what was wrong. I wasn’t saying anything that was novel in & of itself: have we a limit to how many problematic behaviours we’re allowed to identify in the one post?

I don’t know how other people with autism find it (& don’t think it’s a great game for the neurotypical either, to be clear) but this extension pack nobody asked for of “Guess The Rules Of Communication!” makes contributing here vastly more stressful than it should be - & surely than there is need for it to be?

Great stuff, well done everyone!

I was there too brilliant to put faces to names and twitter handles.

Sharing a suggestion I've seen made for anyone who made a submission relating to the review of our equality legislation. Forward your submission to your TDs. They are supposed to represent us so should hear our views and be held to account for the shitshow they've created thus far (and may add to if RO'G has his way).
