Cheers to @StillIrishPod and @0KFW0 for having me on the podcast! We talked BelongTo, the NGO machine, and why I stopped reading the script people had for me and started writing my own. If you want the full story, give it a listen!
EPISODE #5 - SEÁN ATKINSON This week, @0KFW0 speaks to @TheAkoFiles about gay rights in Ireland, the NGO complex, and the many ways in which the State fails children.

People defending others who are openly laughing at a 60 year old man dying because he fell off a ladder putting a flag up, are NOW saying “but that’s free speech!” Yes. It is. Free speech also allows us to call you cold-hearted, cruel, morally void & truly despicable. 🤷

“With the projected rates of inwards migration, in the next 15 years Ireland is set to be 11% Indian.” Dean Céitinn stresses that there is more to the immigration debate than material concerns. 📺 Full conversation: https://t.co/7dyYtcOpco

Silence is not an option. Childhood innocence is non-negotiable. The Natural Women’s Council has serious concerns about school book content. Tonight I attended an EVENT AT A GAELSCOIL in Churchtown, South Dublin, on Smartphones, Social Media, and Our Children’s Mental

I’ve been rewatching old Irish films while working on an article about this. The gap between real Irish people and the versions created for us by the establishment is hard to ignore. At some point the real people of Ireland became too inconvenient to celebrate.

Watching Into the West now, it’s impossible to match those lives with the way Ireland talks about “white privilege” today. We’ve replaced honesty with imported frameworks that don’t recognise our own people who are quietly being erased from Irish media.

“White privilege” makes no sense in Ireland. This article is from 2016, yet the same narrative is recycled as if nothings changed. A decade on, the poorest and most failed children in the State are still overwhelmingly white. When does the theory update to match reality?

A boy has won a girls’ Irish dance title for the third year in a row, prompting backlash from women’s rights advocates. Elias “Alyssa” Saltzman took first in the girls’ U16 category at the Southern Region Oireachtas, placing ahead of 82 young girls. https://t.co/f2ZxksXFzW

🗣️"What is this unvetted male? When I moved into my home I was an unvetted male." - @SimonHarrisTD Did you have seven indentities, too, Simon? https://t.co/nHPauWLWgJ
Judge Orla Crowe just heard that a person before the criminal courts has “seven identities” and that there is “a lot of work outstanding” to “find out who this person actually is.” Our country is an absolute joke.

My response to @LPerrins, who I have great respect for, but I think her piece this week missed the mark 👇 https://t.co/HejelayVBW

Reminder that Hayton is credited with developing the NASUWT schools guidance in 2016 https://t.co/3bTxnwV6XG which completely contradicts what he says in today’s extract of his memoir in the Daily Mail https://t.co/J3nms0Hwki

This is exactly how gender ideology ties itself in knots. This hypothetical only works if you believe that a man who loses his penis stops being a man, which is an incredibly regressive position. A tragic medical situation doesn’t change someone’s sex or their partner’s
@nosseihdegel1 @TheAkoFiles Let’s say I’m a man in a gay relationship. My boyfriend unfortunately gets aggressive penile cancer and his penis is removed. Am I now bisexual because I am attracted to a person without male genitalia? Obviously not. As you admit, genitalia is only one part of sexuality.

Honest to God, it’s exhausting being in the same tax bracket of existence as people who think like this. If gay doesn’t mean gay, then who am I meant to be riding, the NGO sector? They’re already screwing everyone anyway.
@TheAkoFiles I’m not the one changing definitions here, Seàn. It is your crowd who are trying to impose a new definition of homosexuality upon everyone else; One that reduces sexual attraction to nothing more than a preference for a certain set of genitalia.

Recently I’ve been writing a lot about rejecting scripts, especially the ones handed to gay men. And this whole exchange is a perfect example of how those scripts work. There are two narratives about Hayton. Script 1: He’s a “lesbian”, so he gets to define same-sex attraction.
@MrMennoTweets @QueerMajority A gay man is a man who is sexually attracted to people that he perceives to be male.

Dave playing the ‘perception’ card to somehow claw back some kind of credibility for the bonkers notion of ‘trans’ - not too dissimilar from Helen Webberley in her recent interviews And redefining homosexuality in the process - because that par of the ‘trans’ course His book is
