It’s a rainy, miserable day outside.
Mammies say wear a big coat and hat.
It’s going to be a tough day for

people, their families and friends.
Put on an imaginary coat - made of love, of the cheers for you at prides, of the care and positivity you receive.

Notorious transphobe and fascist sympathiser, Kellie-Jay Keen aka Posie Parker, has announced she’s planning on coming to Dublin on 16th September for her Let Women Speak tour. The location has yet to be announced but we'll update once we do.
Today is
#HolocaustMemorialDay
and we remember all the LGBTQIA+ people affected by the Holocaust and by all genocides and hate.
#BigHugs
from the Mams xxx
We are so sad to hear the horrible things some of the UK government are saying about
#BriannaGhey
.
We know words don’t mean a lot, but the Mams respect and praise trans people for being brave and being themselves in such a hostile environment.
Prejudice fails
#LoveWins
❤️ WE NEED YOUR HELP ❤️
We’ve had so many requests to march that we can’t get to them all so we’re hoping there might be mams, dads, grans, families, & allies out there who would help us out - If you would like to march get in touch & we’ll send you everything you need ❤️🏳️⚧️
We would love to see
@RTE_PrimeTime
giving equal space to the happy, healthy, joyful lives being led by trans people across Ireland and the great many clinicians and groups who support them with kindness and love.
#TransRightsAreHumanRights
Disappointed that
#rtept
didn’t engage with any clinicians with actual expertise in caring for and researching healthcare issues facing Trans people!
This expertise isn’t in Ireland but there are many experts internationally who I’m sure would happily share their expertise
The

Senator, the aim of parenting is not to ‘try’ & support your kid as if it were a chore, the aim is to provide a safe place for them to be adored as themselves & if you’re lucky enough they’ll let you be part of their gorgeous lives.

#TransRightsAreHumanRights
Any family with a trans adult child [over 18] must find it heartbreaking, as parents, they will with love try to support their child. Any parent with a child [under 18] for God's sake, go get your child mental help. Encouragement leads to the mutilation of your beautiful child

Activist Marsha P Johnson was a prominent American activist who was at Stonewall. The “P” stands for “pay it no mind” which is what Johnson would say when asked about gender.

Hi
@thejournal_ie
He was suspended because of gross misconduct- not a ‘transgender row’ - misinformation makes all our kids unsafe at school so we ask that you report accurately.
Ten years ago today, people were starting to talk about a Noble Call by
@PantiBliss
at
@AbbeyTheatre
.
Panti powerfully describes what it is to be different in Ireland, the shame, the self-questioning, the joy.
Thank you

The Countess team were in Limerick today, raising awareness of the fact that at this moment two males are housed in the Women’s Prison. A lot of people were aware of the issue and were very much against it and many more were appalled to hear of it. The first thing most people…
Wonderful letter from our gorgeous Mammy Bernie 🩵🩷🏳️⚧️🩷🩵
Who is really being cancelled? Is it Graham Linehan who is everywhere we look or is it Trans people who are reporting that they are starting to feel afraid every time they leave their houses?

Hi Andrew, we get eleventy billion a month from the government which we spend entirely on flipflops. Our real objectives are entirely mysterious and impossible to guess based on our bio info.
Mammies for Trans Rights will be marching in as many Pride marches as we can get to this summer.
Rights are under attack, queerphobia is being normalised, violence is increasing, our kids are in danger - we hope parents all over the country will march this summer
#Pride2023
The last year has seen an exponential growth of the far right and queerphobia. From LGBTQIA+ literature in libraries being destroyed, a 14 year old boy in Navan being attacked for being gay, a rise in transphobia from the media and government, we can’t afford to stay silent.
Anti trans events ran across Canada today - & at every single one they were MASSIVELY outnumbered by trans supporters
Sending love and solidarity to all our trans siblings in Canada 🩵🩷🏳️⚧️🩷🩵

I am the proud mum of a trans woman, Alice.
Alice came out to her best friend, Lucy when she was fifteen, to her sister, Kate a year later. She didn’t come out to me. Why not? Probably because I’d absorbed media transphobia 1/
Lots of love to all our trans, intersex and non binary followers and all our allies.
Thanks for following, sharing and interacting.

It has been a long, difficult day.

I have never known trans people to be as afraid as they are right now
Many people bear responsibility for this, not just the thugs who jeer, harass & assault, but also journalists, politicians, lawyers, academics who at best 'both sides' the campaign of hate, at worst lead it
We send our love to all those shocked and saddened by the loss of our friend and activist colleague Tina Kolos Orban.
We would all do well to work according to Tina’s powerful words.
Love, the Mams xxx
We hope for a better future for our trans loved ones.

All quiet here outside the library in Carrick-on-Shannon. Popped in for a quick chat, expressed solidarity with the librarians. They should not have to worry about threats of intimidation and harassment from bullies who want to restrict young people's access to information.
