Proudly heading to the Dail today with @mams4transrights.bsky.social to support @labourpartyireland.bsky.social motion on healthcare for trans people.

No one should have to travel abroad for basic healthcare.

It’s hard to explain what it means to be able to show a trans kid this and for them to feel seen & valued by their president

When they show us who they are we need to believe them

I’m really looking forward to this conversation coming to Ireland. Single women are happier, healthier, have more friends, and live longer than women in relationships.

Single men do worse on every measurable metric.

Women who refuse to do what they’re told are about to have a very good day

Homophobia 🤝 transphobia

Growing up in the 70s, 80s, & 90s we heard the exact same stuff - word for word - being said about gays and lesbians.

It’s #BreastCancerAwarenessMonth & I’m in @ULHospitals today for my annual mammogram - same as everyone I’m nervous going in, but it’s quick, the staff are incredibly kind, & it saved my life 5 years ago & could save yours or someone you love 💕

Love and solidarity to my magnificent friend @hazelchu.bsky.social who is using her incredibly terrifying experience to remind people to check their boobs and bits

Our job as parents and the adults of the world right now is to create a safe, supportive place for kids to figure out who they are.

Thank you Edaein O’Connell for this beautiful piece about @mams4transrights.bsky.social & being the lucky parents of amazing trans kids

Brilliant to see the appalling gender representation in Irish politics being discussed @electricpicnic.bsky.social & the disgraceful way that #womeninpolitics are treated

And @emma_louisedorans speaking about #consent all weekend 👏😍👌
