Happy Pride: Here's me ranting about ableism intersecting with transphobia 🏳️⚧️
ALL disabled people know themselves - yes including the non-speaking ones and those in receipt of full time care.
ALL trans people deserve rights. End of story. #disabled #trans #ableism #transphobia
Sinn Féin banned from Trans and Intersex Pride Dublin march after period of engagement with party leaders Last month, Trans and Intersex Pride Dublin released a statement calling on Sinn Féin to clarify their position on the UK Supreme Court and the ban on puberty blockers in Northern Ireland. This statement was released in light of public statements from David Cullinane and Pádraig Mac Lochlainn supporting the ruling. Since then, Trans and Intersex Pride Dublin has undergone a period of engagement with the party, with numerous opportunities to explain their position, including: Being questioned by national media about the party facing a ban, including a Late Late Show interview with Mary Lou McDonald An email being sent to Mary Lou McDonald's office regarding their position A community engagement meeting with Mary Lou McDonald, David Cullinane, and other LGBTQ+ organisations across the island A 1:1 discussion meeting with Trans and Intersex Pride Dublin Organiser Jenny Maguire We engaged in order to seek clarity on their positions on the Supreme Court ruling; whether they would oppose attempts to implement the ruling in Northern Ireland (currently the Supreme Court ruling has no basis in Northern Ireland due to different equality laws; however, there have been attempts to implement the ruling in councils); whether they continue to support the Northern Irish Executive (of which Michelle O'Neill is First Minister) decision to ban puberty blockers; and whether they would support a ban on puberty blockers in the South of Ireland. After this period of engagement, Trans and Intersex Pride Dublin is not satisfied with the clarity received around their position on the Supreme Court ruling, with the continued defence of the banning of puberty blockers (including not supporting an amendment to reverse the puberty blocker ban in Stormont last Monday), and with the recent Journal article that claimed a conference to discuss its position on trans rights has been pushed …
"Sinn Féin officially banned from Trans and Intersex Pride Dublin after period of engagement," says this press release from Trans and Intersex Pride Dublin.

We won't go into huge detail about the current queer news but we couldn't let the most recent news from the UK past without saying Neuro Pride Ireland, an all-island organisation, has always been a LGBTQAI+ inclusive space

The AUsome Training Minding Autistic Minds Conference went brilliantly this weekend!! ✨💚
Being in such a neuro-affirming space was so healing and I'm so proud to be a part of the AUsome Training team that put it together 💖

Ireland has gone from having some of the cheapest electricity in Europe, to some of the expensive.

A Journal article about homeless international protection applicants protesting outside the Dáil emphasised how it was a group of "mostly men"
This is in reference to the disgusting idea that men seeking refuge are less worthy of it somehow – that they are in some way dangerous because they are men
Thanks so much!!
Today I'm officially 4 months post op from my gender affirming breast reduction 🎉🎉

Today is International Day of Persons with Disabilities. Please remember that disabled folk do not have marriage equality, disproportionately experience poverty and experience significant discrimination in the workplace and elsewhere, daily.
In 2025, include disabled people in your activism‼️
