@JillKerby @genspect @Mams4Trans Thank you 🙏

[Stephen O'Byrnes @obyrness]

Congratulations Stella. Marvellous achievement. Where do you get the time 😳

[Stella O'Malley @stellaomalley3]

I just received this :

Dear Dr O'Malley

I am very pleased to let you know that the Senatus Academicus has now considered the report of the Examining Committee on your thesis and decided to grant you the award of Doctor of Philosophy for a thesis titled: Parents’ Perspectives on Gender Dysphoria in Childhood and Adolescence . 

Yay!!

I hear the pathetic trolls aren’t bleating on about my qualifications anymore 🤪🤪

[John Moran, Mayor of Limerick @moranjohna1]

Sorry I could not attend the meeting as here in Turin with mayors of cities with 21 million residents. It’s key to recall Limerick needs 14 of these developments - not over the life of this council but every year for 5 years. We should be asking where are the next 69 of them.

Born into a strong GAA family, Ms Howard's father, Garrett, won five All-Ireland senior hurling medals, three with his native Limerick and two with Dublin.

“It’s one of those things that’s so crazy that lots of people just don’t realise it’s happening.”

@HJoyceGender speaks to @JuliaHB1 about Andy Burnham describing support for single-sex spaces as a “minority view”, and the upcoming EHRC code of practice.

Zelensky made it clear — if Putin refuses peace, Ukraine will force the issue through long-range strikes, economic pressure, and growing international support.Diplomacy will come — on Ukraine’s terms.

You’re absolutely right John. When we see what this terrorist Ben-Givr is happy to do to EU and other country citizens in public, we can only imagine how the misfortunate Palestinians are being treated in Israeli detention centres in Gaza, the West Bank and Israel itself 😰

[John O’Brennan @JohnOBrennan2]

Israel can murder more than 100, 000 Palestinians,
3, 000 Lebanese, thousands of Iranians and no response.

Suddenly the EU shows some interest in the atrocities.

Israel is in serial violation of Article 2 of the EU-Israel Association Agreement.

A full trade embargo now.

From propagandists melting down over empty fridges, Duma deputies begging to stop the war, and burning oil infrastructure across the country — the illusion is over.

russia can no longer hide the cost of its war.

Brilliant stuff from @MaeveHalligan. Very articulate, reasoned debunking of the dangerous Trans ideologues. @stellaomalley3

[Seán Ako 🇮🇪 @TheAkoFiles]

Common sense is making a comeback.

Absolutely brilliant from @MaeveHalligan, a living legend.

[Seán Sheehan @SeanSheehanBA]

Jamie Barron hooking his arm. Preventing him from swapping sides. Would have been harsh to penalise Limerick for that. Common sense reffing.

[Stephen O'Byrnes @obyrness]

Excellent analysis here by @chrisocfl. Think this tough battle will do Limerick team a power of good.

[J.K. Rowling @jk_rowling]

Western society is currently divided between people who know this is a man and are prepared to say so and those who know this is a man but lie out of obedience to an ideology. There is no third option. Literally nobody on earth thinks "Roxanne Tickle" is actually a woman.

[Stella O'Malley @stellaomalley3]

Incredibly disappointing to see this. It is galactically inappropriate for the President of Ireland to act as a patron to Belong To, a very well funded lobby group for the medicalisation of children’s identities.

We know these procedures cause harm. Children can’t consent to the loss of sexual functioning and infertility because they don’t understand the consequences of this. This is an unfolding medical scandal.

This is an absolutely brilliant dissection of the damage and danger being fomented by Trans ideologues. @stellaomalley3

[James Dreyfus @DreyfusJames]

Every word of this phenomenal speech is the truth.

Cold, hard, ugly truths.

Beautifully said.

Put aside 11 minutes to watch.

[Seán Ako 🇮🇪 @TheAkoFiles]

Every single word of this is just brilliant.

I hope students across Ireland see Maeve and find the courage to speak up against this madness.

Just gonna leave this here - Bang on the money from Donal Óg!

[Thea Sewell @theasewell05]

lIf you do anything today, watch @MaeveHalligan at the Cambridge Union. I genuinely think this was the first time many people in that room were confronted with the hard reality of the trans debate, rather than the slogans that usually surround it.

@BuckAngel was exceptional: calm, articulate, humane. Ultimate respect.

And then there was Helen Webberley. I remember once thinking the criticism directed at her by GC women was excessive, especially the claim she was ‘pure evil’. After hearing her speak, I no longer think that. She is totally insincere. I can deal with hard ideologues- they believe they are telling the truth; they are genuine, @HelenWebberley is different.

One audience member, a trans-identified male and former patient of hers, stood to speak during points of information. His account of how he had been treated was deeply disturbing.

Watch the full debate. It is worth your time.

This is a remarkable photograph-not a woman in sight. China & US -not a single woman in the room.
