"Imagine a law that allowed white people to declare they are black or adults to declare they are children. There would rightly be uproar. Yet women are supposed to accept that any man can say he’s a woman, or be called a bigot."| Women's Space Ireland
Unbelievably, the submission by the Equality Authority (now part of IHREC, the Irish Human Rights and Equality Commission) believed that the demands of some men to be legally recognised as the opposite sex should be extended to permit them access to women's changing rooms and toilets.| Women's Space Ireland
If resisting men's attempts to colonise women's spaces and sports is "transphobic", what exactly are "trans" rights? And if we cannot withhold our consent to this what rights do women have at all?| Women's Space Ireland
Yesterday's ruling by the UK's Supreme Court will doubtless have significance for any woman in Ireland wondering if legal action can be taken over males being permitted to use female facilities e.g. in the workplace or schools.| Women's Space Ireland
The IHRC which with the Equality Authority is now IHREC, the Irish Human Rights and Equality Commission, also opposed a provision which would have protected women and girls in sport. They clearly didn't consider the rights of half of the population, but instead supported men who claim to be women.| Women's Space Ireland
If our equality legislation is amended to include "gender identity" it may effectively abolish women's and girl's right to single-sex provision of services or spaces. Why should the demands of some men override the rights of women and girls?| Women's Space Ireland
If the Government's plans to protect men's "gender identity" in our equality legislation is successful, it may mean that women and girls will not be able to object to men or boys in our sports, schools, changing rooms.| Women's Space Ireland
Just announced: a new public consultation on the next National Strategy for Women and Girls. Is this just another box ticking exercise before proceeding once again with what the gender identity activists in our NGOs and Government want?| Women's Space Ireland
Is it misrepresentation of our legislation to state that men who "identify" as some other gender are entitled to use the facilities of women, for instance, when this may not necessarily be correct in law?| Women's Space Ireland
Public health experts say we should aim to have two female toilets for every one male toilet because women generally use the toilets more frequently and for more reasons than men. Gender-neutral toilets mean less facilities for women, when what we really need is more.| Women's Space Ireland
“It is planned that legislative proposals arising from the Review of the Equality Acts will be brought forward shortly. Policy officials are seeking legal advice on a number of matters before proposals can be finalised."| Women's Space Ireland
