shoutout to Prime Minister John A. Costello for holding together a coalition made up of 5 parties + 8 independents (75/147, 1 seat to spare), filled with people that did not like each other, for long enough to make Ireland a republic.

good thread here
it has slightly worried me how many people, even pro-trans people, have wholesale accepted the conservative framing that we should have this sex segregated society, but that trans people should just be allowed to "change teams".
its why i cant get behind the "men bad" posts, 1/2

On abolishing legal sex entirely:
Obviously a lot of places that sex/gender is recorded is just completely nonsense and seems to only serve to police trans/intersex people and nothing else, like passports or driving licenses. It doesn't add any extra layer of security or identification...

this is bit comical, the UK supreme court has effectively said:
"we decree that all lesbians (biological women, since trans women cannot be lesbians) that have been attracted to a trans woman (who they knew at the time was a trans woman), are actually attracted to men" lmao

i am so glad the irish PM decided to go over for (a few days before) paddy's day and glaze Trump.
i mean, if he didnt go, Trump might've invited a far-right thug scumbag to use the actual date to attack our democracy and minorities.
Cowards hiding behind "diplomacy" to justify not taking a stand.

This may shock you, but Trump is lying.
The proposal was approved by local planners in Ireland (Clare County), but was blocked by a national planning board.
Nothing to do with the EU, who don't control planning decisions.

Trump’s Conflicts of Interest in Ireland
President Trump’s battles over his golf course in Ireland and his frequent references to these disputes even since becoming president show that Trump’s private profits are never far from his mind.

Trump does a promo for his business & explains it's why he hates the EU: "I have a property, big property in Ireland. It's one of the most highly rated hotels in all of Europe. Doonbeg. It's a beautiful 600 acres on the ocean & everybody knows it...EU had to approve it..it was a very bad experience"
