Hi, I'm an Irish trans woman 🏳️⚧️🏳️🌈
I recently had to write an email to the DG of RTE after he said in an interview with the Irish Times that he was concerned the 'trans debate' wasn't happening in Ireland. It is very fucking worrying.
The world's most notorious custard-pie thrower is dead. What an obituary. He got Bernard-Henri Lévy seven times.
Chancellor of the University of Limerick is over on X saying it's child abuse for trans parents to breastfeed she's @'ing the Minister for Health about it
They're going after Parkrun again, that thing that is explicitly not a competition and not even a run if you don't want to run and prefer to walk
Neil Mackay@neilmackay.bsky.social · 3d agoCurious … the headline claims it’s ’women’ making the demands. Yet read the piece and you discover the campaign group is founded and run by a man, who wishes to remain anonymous …
has a single current NBA player voiced support for the WNBA players dealing with this shit?

A reminder, again, that Ireland has *chosen* not to take regulatory action against this abuse factory, whose office sits in Fenian Street in Dublin. I think this failure to act in the face of clear knowledge is an unforgivable act.
You know who else has an unfair advantage in sport? Naturally talented athletes. And people with high hemoglobin. And rich people with money for sports camps and coaches. Why should they be allowed to compete? “Fairness in sports” my ass. Never since NFTs have I heard such bullshit.
randomly giving out genuine compliments is such an easy way to make the world a little nicer, i'm always surprised more people haven't figured that out and have a ton of respect for those who have
We’re going to hear about how everyone loved Dolly, and that feels true. But it’s good to remember, and to her credit, that she was attacked for her AIDS activism, her vaccine advocacy, her LGBTQ+ support and even, more recently, for her reading initiatives. She ALWAYS stood firm when it mattered.
“She was the voluptuous embodiment of empathy,” Jane Fonda writes about her friend Dolly Parton. “That’s something of hers she’d want us all to take with us.” "To her gay and trans fans, I want you to know that she loved you. You know that without me telling you.” www.justjared.com/2026/08/25/j...
Jane Fonda Pays Tribute to '9 to 5' Co-Star Dolly Parton, Sends Message to Her 'Gay & Trans Fans'
Jane Fonda is mourning the loss of her 9 to 5 co-star Dolly Parton. The 88-year-old actress released a statement moments ago after learning of the news of

Dolly Parton preached kindness and acceptance. She worked hard to make people's lives better. She used her fame and status to help others. Now look at how her life is being celebrated. Look at the boundless love. This is the way. More people should figure that out.
Ireland has opened its first permanent LGBTQ+ museum exhibition at Cork Public Museum. “We Were Always Here: Cork LGBT History” preserves stories of activism and social change, including the fight for recognition when homosexuality was illegal in Ireland #NOH8
Begging editors around the country to retire the phrase “transgender debate.” That’s not what this is. That’s not what this ever has been!
This is excellent.
Deb Chachra@debcha.bsky.social · last wk.This explainer out of Australia is genuinely useful background and analysis of what happened with the Canada-US trade deal last night. Note that it is extremely and delightfully sweary. Also there’s an appended glossary of Australian slang. ifloz.substack.com/p/king-carne...
Do you remember when a fundraising campaign for the Navajo and Hopi people went viral during the pandemic, as people recalled the generosity of native Americans to Irish people during the famine? If you were one of those who donated - you are invited to have your photo taken …
Nearly all the extras in this iconic scene were French expatriates. Their tears during the stirring rendition of La Marseillaise were genuine— filmed at a time when the fate of France was still uncertain. CASABLANCA (1942) #MichaelCurtiz
Found this recording of Rita Moreno performing “Fever” on The Muppet Show from 1976. 14/10
