This 'why do you care about a tiny fraction of the population?' line is, and always was, utterly ridiculous.
Gender ideology has undermined freedom of speech, scientific truth, gay rights, and women's and girls' safety, privacy and dignity. It's also caused irreparable physical damage to vulnerable kids.
Nobody voted for it, the vast majority of people disagree with it, yet it has been imposed, top down, by politicians, healthcare bodies, academia, sections of the media, celebrities and even the police. Its activists have threatened and enacted violence on those who've dared oppose it. People have been defamed and discriminated against for questioning it. Jobs have been lost and lives have been ruined, all for the crime of knowing that sex is real and matters.
When the smoke clears, it will be only too evident that this was never about a so-called vulnerable minority, notwithstanding the fact that some very vulnerable people have been harmed. The power dynamics underpinning our society have been reinforced, not dismantled. The loudest voices throughout this entire fiasco have been people insulated from consequences by their wealth and/or status. They aren't likely to find themselves locked in a prison cell with a 6'4" rapist who's decided his name's now Dolores. They don't need state-funded rape crisis centres, nor do they ever frequent high street changing rooms. They simper from talk show sofas about those nasty far-right bigots who don't want penises swinging around the girls' showers, secure in the knowledge that their private pool remains the safe place it always was.
Those who've benefited most from gender identity ideology are men, both trans-identified and not. Some have been rewarded for having a cross-dressing kink by access to all spaces previously reserved for women. Others have parlayed their delicious new victim status into an excuse to threaten, assault and harass women. Non-trans-identified leftybros have found a magnificent platform from which to display their own impeccably progressive credentials, by jeering and sneering at the needs of women and girls, all while patting themselves on the back for giving away rights that aren't theirs.
The actual victims in this mess have been women and children, especially the most vulnerable, gay people who've resisted the movement and paid a horrible price, and regular people working in environments where one misplaced pronoun could see you vilified or constructively dismissed. Do not tell me this is about a tiny minority. This movement has impacted society in disastrous ways, and if you had any sense, you'd be quietly deleting every trace of activist mantras, ad hominem attacks, false equivalence and circular arguments from your X feeds, because the day is fast approaching when you'll want to pretend you always saw through the craziness and never believed it for a second.
Ten years ago this month - on the 15th July 2025 - the then Irish Government passed the Gender Recognition Act thus permitting men to identify into all women’s spaces simply by signing a piece of paper - no physical changes required. The law also gives fuel to the dangerous lie that it’s possible for children and adolescents to change sex (which many attempt to do by medicalisation and surgery including by radical double mastectomy of healthy breasts). The law has been regressive. It has stripped women of their rights in Ireland and is causing untold damage to young otherwise healthy young people. I am suggesting that on July 15th people try to raise awareness of this Act with the hashtag #OverTheRadar - the act was infamously passed ‘under the radar’ and we need to get a spotlight on it.
To summarise for anyone who has no knowledge of camogie (like me) but gets the point of it: it’s not about skorts or shorts, it’s about control over women.

This is Melani Bergés Gámez. She is 90% blind. When she runs she runs tethered to a guide. Melani is a primary school teacher in Madrid.
Melani did not get to go to the Paralympics because a man who says he is a woman took her place.
We speak for Melani. 1/
