For years now, women have been saying that self-ID will be exploited by predators and we’ve been told ‘no predator would bother to pretend to be a woman.’ Yet here we are - again.
This paedophile didn’t receive the leniency he hoped for because he claimed to be a woman, but plenty have, including Katie Dolotowski, who, in a very similar case, filmed a 12-year-old in a bathroom cubicle and attempted to rape a 10-year-old in a women’s bathroom, and served his sentence in a women’s prison.
The wilfully blind continue to insist that what is already happening couldn’t possibly happen. They wriggle like eels trying to find a loophole through which they can escape with their precious ideology intact. ‘He wasn’t really trans, though.’ ‘All groups have bad apples.’ ‘You can’t blame all trans people because some of them are rapists.’
So determined are you to cling to your absolutist slogans and your circular reasoning, you’re indifferent to the proven increased risk to women and girls. I watch you lying, equivocating and contorting yourself into knots trying to justify the unjustifiable, and I wonder when, if ever, shame will finally find you.
Though the state ran institutions tried to beat my culture my heritage put of me.. I clung to my culture in my mind. From the womb to the tomb. I am a survivor and a tinsmith granddaughter. To deny it would be denying my mother

There wasn't a day that child was reminded it had no mother or it wasn't fit for adoption. We know we saw it we heard it everyday. Their mother's may have been under age, raped . That didn't matter. There was no kindness, or hugs or therapy

The Man with a Hidden Secret
Getting out some Christmas tree decorations from under the stairs, I came across a reel of film given to me by Sonny, the son of my next-door neighbours when we lived in the tenements. His father, Jemmy, was my father’s best pal. Sonny had

The question that needs to be asked is,
Organisations who claim funding - expenses on our behalf , claim to represent us. Whare were they?
Where are they?@ErinMcGreehan
The family of Timothy O’Sullivan, whose largely skeletal remains were found in his boarded-up house at Beecher Street in Mallow, said that they were deeply concerned that their brother and uncle could remain undiscovered there for over 20 years.
