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.

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 1/14

We will all die there is nothing more certain in our lives but in 2023 there is not equality in how the memorialisation and protection of graves has and is honoured for those laying in the grounds of former institutions or even in public graveyards

madams to house new families from around the Church street area. In the late 1930s the houses were knocked down. The former madams had found religion. Some became pillars of society in the local area. Their former pimps could be seen walking in the religious processions.

Dublin’s once famous red-light district known as, “Monto” was finally closed down in 1925 by the Legion of Mary who urged the police to take action. Religious processions through the streets became a regular occurrence. Some of the former brothels were bought off Monto’s 1/2

This is a historic day for Ireland, as we abolish wardship, and give people back their rights. From today, anyone with capacity limitations will be supported to retain control over their own decision-making through the @DSS_Ireland.

One thing's certain about Irish Airbnbs: the majority are illegal. Two UCC law students are taking them on. They've sent the first planning enforcement complaints to Cork City Council in what's going to be a national campaign. This can't be ignored. ontheditch.com/illegal-airbn…
