The Countess - Womens rights group in Ireland - Report on Immigration Effects on Women & Girls

Irish people are being forced to accept policy that transgresses fundamental boundaries and treats nature, identity, culture, family, and nationality as negotiable when in fact, the family unit, community, and inherited culture are the scaffolding of a stable society. We at The Countess are unafraid of analysing policy through the lens of womens’ rights and child safeguarding.

Report: Through a Safeguarding lens, darkly: a thematic report into the International Protection Provision in Ireland

The report has identified significant shifts in the nature of sexual violence across Europe, highlighting emergent trends in opportunistic street attacks and group-based sexual assaults. The findings raise urgent questions for Irish policymakers as the State continues to accommodate over 33,000 individuals in the International Protection system without screening them against European Crime databases.

Drawing on official statistics from multiple EU member states including Austria, Germany, Sweden, Finland, Denmark, Italy, and France, the report outlines clear evidence that foreign-born individuals are over-represented in sexual offence data, often by a factor of three to four, with even higher rates in specific subcategories such as gang rape.

Sounds like a brilliant piece of work. And I suddenly feel as though I now need to think more deeply/critically about news coverage which portrays those protesting about immigration hotels as right wing racists… all sounding awfully familiar…

Does anyone know if UK immigration stats are disaggregated to allow a similar comparison?

Most trans people aren't in sports, that is a fact. And no, I don't care about sports in any capacity. Do you care about male sports?

The wage gap is misrepresented. It's an earnings gap. It's not legal to pay women less for the exact same job as a man. Men work longer hours and typically seek out higher paying jobs in the first place.

How many men in Ireland have been sacked when they tell their boss they are going to be a parent?

And what legislation could he use in Ireland to sue his employer?

Some Welsh people are rapists. Probably shouldn't let them travel

Some Welsh are sheep shaggers (allegedly, lol). So what's your point?

Apparently the Martians have decided that they would be mad as a box of frogs to let any Earth males immigrate.

In the UK we are currently in low single figures for the successful prosecutions of reported rapes, and, of course, not all rapes are reported. Assuming Ireland is similar (and I don’t know whether it is) one of the most rational crimes to commit if you don’t want to be convicted is rape.

You can't actually know that when you don't know if someone is even guilty of what they were accused of in the first place. I don't assume guilt about anything if I wasn;t there, because I can't know. And people are wrongly accused of crimes all the time.

You're pretty mad for wanting guilty verdicts just to meet a quota

Let me guess...they looked at the data, saw that Earthlings chose not to stop men accessing women's spaces and thought, we really don't want that here.
Good thing that unlike Gridania's point of view, this data was indeed collected and published, otherwise how would the Martians be able to formulate policy?

I never said I agree with all trans advocacy. I don;t. But it;s heavily exaggerated and dramatized.

Well, good thing there's nothing wrong with men and women using the same bathrooms. If you think that's outrageous but think killing unborn babies is fine, you might be a martian yourself.

I'm going to leave this thread now as I don't know how the law or criminal justice system works in Ireland and am looking at things from a UK perspective - apologies. If transwomen are legally for all purposes deemed to be women under Irish law, Ireland has a very, very big problem.

Yes and TM with a GRC are men and loose all legal protections

So a woman can only be placed in a Male Prison if she showed her GRC on conviction and the GRA said she has a legal obligation to do that.

You've already lied about law yourself trying to present women getting fired for coming parenthood as some sort of standard.

Can you explain why you think thought policing is okay?

Sex crimes have special legal status in Ireland.

They are one of the few serious crimes which can be tried when the offending is 100% out of State.

Recognising that there are countries or cultures which do not recognise the criminal element of sexual acts is not thought policing.

It's thought policing when you assume that individual/groups of people from harsh countries are criminals themselves or that it's okay to penalize them based on that assumption. That's literally not how it works. None of that is remotely the same as "Recognising that there are countries or cultures which do not recognise the criminal element of sexual acts is not thought policing."

Then there were people in this thread going so far as to say it's fine for countries to ban offensive thought.

You don't know my views on abortion, or for that matter cake, or beer, jazz, British war movies etc, so that's kind of immaterial.

No point in saying that if you think it's fine.

Not really. Bringing up abortion got you to admit that you don't have a problem with authoritarian governments banning people for having views they find offensive. Which makes you sound nuts, or maybe just a contrary troll.
