What rights don’t trans people have in Ireland today?

[Ambrose_McNulty]

The right to menstruate.

At the same time just because Lenihan (or some other wacko) says they believe something doesn’t automatically mean that belief is wrong or evil or i the case of trans issues erasing people. A stopped clock is right twice a day and all that. I know plenty of women pissed off with all this people who menstruate nonsense and the rest that goes with it.

Had a lot of respect for Jonathan Ross when he defended JK. He then capitulated to the mob and publicly attoned on Twitter. It’s very Maoist.

[Bandage]

It’s a regular hobby horse of his. What’s it to him? He’s one of those freaks that won’t live and let live. He’s just a crank like Ronán Mullen or someone, but with a different specialist topic.

I was at a work thing last year where a trans staff member was wheeled out on stage in front of a group of workers while some aul one lectured staff on what to do if someone asks them where the toilets are. The trans person was cleary uncomfortable and sure why wouldn’t they be. It was bizzare.

Bang of David Brent off that carry on

What’s it to Hozier?

@EstebanSexface

ok, this is delicate but there is no point pussy footing around it.

I’ll try explain it in role play.

Lets say Tom identifies as transgender, Tom applies for a job in a marketing company. The marketing company sees this as great opportunity to up its diversity quota so hires Tom. Equality. Great (Is it though?) Was there equal opportunity for every one?

Turns out Tom is totally unsuitable for the job. If Tom were a single, white person who identified as a heterosexual male, Tom would be fired. Because Tom identifies as transgender and was hired on a diversity quota, Tom cannot be fired, because HR are scared out of their wits. Tom knows this. Tom plays up to this.

Equality, but without the shit bits. If you’re crap at your job, you get canned.

Sorry to hear you lost out on that job mate

[Bandage]

Are you really going down this route?

What’s it to anyone that wants to support a minority group?

You don’t seem to be aware that Linehan has been having snide digs at transgender folk for years. You’re portraying it as some great and overdue take down of woke culture. Linehan instigated contact with Hozier too.

Some people would have it that they can fire potshots at minorities all they like, and nobody can call them up on it unless they’re at the front of every single human rights issue in the world. Wokists, eh.

This is a simple case of Linehan being a creepy cunt.

[TheUlteriorMotive]

A few hours away from this place and I come back to another front of argument.

This place can be great (the running threads most recently) but fuck we go down some rabbit holes.

I’m commenting on the posted comment here.

Can someone please tell me what rights trans people don’t have in Ireland today?

Ah lad, he’s gone off the deep end altogether, he’s destroying his career for no apparent reason

[EstebanSexface]

I’ll have to investigate this further before I do the same with my tfk career.

I back him on this particular point. I don’t condone transphobia

[Thomas_Brady]

Does Sabrina play any ball?

[Tank]

I’d say she could play for the county

[alf_stewart]

He thinks he’s fighting the good fight. No different to woke lads ladies and other non binary types on the other side claiming lesbians are transphobic if they won’t shag “women” with dicks. There is a conversation to be had but most sensible people keep well away from it for fear of the mob coming after them. Did you read JK Rowlings letter? The points she raised seemed pretty reasonable to me. There’s no discussion around them as far as I can see though. Just people shouting transphobe at her.

I couldn’t give a shite what view he has. But spending all day long every day arguing the toss with people about this is bizarre behaviour. Its taken over his life

It’s beyond strange. I think it all stems from that Gamergate controversy and his opinions on that which is just a minefield of arguments. But even if he has these opinions, how are they so important to his every day life that he spends such time and energy on engaging with this shit?
