Ireland brings back blasphemy laws
Except this time, the religion is gender
A message from The Countess Never Fought For This
Dear Subscribers,
We are asking you to contact your TD today regarding the Hate Crime Bill.
This Bill is not fit for purpose. Yes, they have removed the hate speech element, but the big concern now is the collapse of the definition of gender. In Irish law, gender means whether someone is male or female. However, if the novel definition of gender in the hate crime Bill is introduced, the protections we have for single-sex spaces will be eroded overnight. We are facing a dystopian future, and we must prevent this from happening. The General Election is looming, email/phone your TD and tell them that they will not get your vote if the Hate Crime Bill is passed.

TEMPLATE LETTER
AN BILLE UM CHEARTAS COIRIÚIL (GRÍOSÚ CHUN FORÉIGIN NÓ FUATHA AGUS CIONTA FUATHA), 2022 CRIMINAL JUSTICE (INCITEMENT TO VIOLENCE OR HATRED AND HATE OFFENCES) BILL 2022
Dear [TD NAME]
I am a voter in your constituency. I am writing to urge you to vote against this Bill in its current form.
It goes against every principle of justice to create a hierarchy of victims in law.
Furthermore, the nonsensical definition of gender and gender identity is designed to embed confusion into our legislation and will be harmful to women and LGB people.
Can you stand over this circular non-definition being added to our statute books? Will you be able to explain this when you are asking for my vote?
Part 1 Section 3 Subsection 2:
(d) “gender” means the gender of a person or the gender which a person expresses as the person’s preferred gender or with which the person identifies and includes transgender and a gender other than those of male and female,
(f) references to sex characteristics shall be construed as references to the physical and biological features of a person relating to sex
I will not vote for a candidate or party that supports this Bill.
Kind Regards,
[YOUR NAME]
And New York state voters on the other side of the pond: NO on Proposition 1! No to "gender expression" in the state constitution, which already covers discrimination. No to boys injuring girls on girls teams, no to victim of sexual assault forced to say "HER PENIS" in court. I've already seen a few vote yes signs. I've printed up the photo of murdered mother, Jennifer Anderson, with her crossdressing husband, murderer Kier Anderson, who has the taxpayers of California paying for his "transition." He also has some kind of podcast gushing about his "new life." He should be in San Quentin. I've marked it up with this info, placed in a plastic sleeve and will post under the cover of darkness in public places in my town. On my bicycle, like the Norwegian resistance biking the dynamite into Oslo to blow up the ships and factories Hitler took over. We are not Nazis, they are the totalitarian murderers.
I just Don't Get It. With all the good work being done by people like you Graham; all the push-back by sane people like us here, there are still people legislating for this madness. The Hate is there alright, of deviant or downright mentally ill men for anyone who prevents them expressing their fetishes. It is evil personified, and I will continue to talk about it, fund in small ways what I can - even though it has cost me friends/family, the usual...and I'm just a reasonable terf!
