First year selling my art at Christmas without the Other site, where most of my sales came from, as well as losing US orders to new tariffs, so it'll be a tough one - I put huge work into every order, so even if you can't buy, shares help get them in front of eyes. GRMA! www.ciaraioch.com/artprints

Also the most amazing thing happened, Rainbow Rose, the LGBT Labour of Europe has roundly condemned UK Labour’s transphobic action, this is significant in contrast with LGBT Labour’s craven silence.

This is from the Irish Labour Party, the SDLP and Irish Labour Women. A full-throated condemnation of UK Labour’s ban on trans women at its women’s conference.

“In the current climate, the trans community is the canary in the mine for the growing wave of anti-LGBTQIAP+ rhetoric.”

“The fact that [Kishwer Falkner] is now out publicly continuing to promote [‘gender critical’] views rather tends to support that view that she wasn't perhaps acting for everyone as one might have expected from a chair of a national human rights commission." www.bbc.com/news/article...

Drypoint, on paper.

On and off, I've dabbled in drypoint 'etching'. This is a piece I printed today!

I would encourage people in the UK to complain to the BBC about unquestioning platforming a person who uses transphobic slurs on trans healthcare.

If they do not get a satisfactory response, escalate the complaint to Ofcom.

Excellent journalism from my colleague Xander Elliards, looking at the Sandie Peggie verdict and which parts of haven't received much media attention.

From Peggie harassing Dr Upton, to racist jokes and her evidence being deemed "not credible", there is a LOT.

From someone I know on FB;

About Dr Beth Upton, who is the REAL victim here, although you wouldn't know that from looking at the media;

-the victim of transphobic court procedures,

-the victim of a viciously transphobic media
and
-the victim of a transphobic hate campaign.

The entire Girlguiding trans panic is built on misinformation and bigotry!

I looked at the real demographics, and the truth is simple... This entire storm targets a tiny, vulnerable group of girls who just want to spend time with their friends.

All to appease a bunch of bullying transphobes! 😖
