I see that Colm is saying that the groups are on the "far right". Drives me nuts that TRAs think that gender ideology is left wing. Left wing is about fighting to get people equal access to food, housing, education. Trans ideology is liberal and is nothing as useful as any of those things. Pronouns and calling a man a woman are not useful. Saying that people fighting for sex based rights are right wing is just more divisive nonsense designed to shut people up

I call them synthetic left wokemongerers. I'm left wing. They don't get to claim that title.

Yeah, it is very offensive that these totalitarian goons are passing themselves off (pun unintended but it stays) as liberal. I'm left wing too - the difference is, I'm inherently opposed to censoring the speech of those who disagree with me. I'm virtually a free speech absolutist, which has been getting me shut down by so-called progressives for at least the past 3 years, tbh.

I’ve sent an email to Amnesty Ireland to say I’m disgusted and the reasons why and that Colm needs to resigns. Wonder will I get a response? Probably not - still waiting to hear back from the National Women's council and Irish girl guides

I'm going to do the same. I wonder will they send a similar style response that they did to concerns about Barbie Kardashian. Basically the tone was we don't give a crap

We need a present-day Mary Maloney: I’m sure the Irish subscribers know more, but from what I’ve read, she was an Irish suffragette, who once followed Churchill for a week, ringing a bell every time he started to speak.
