A common question people ask us is, what harm has Self ID caused in Ireland?
Simply put, it means that women can no longer rely on the unquestioned understanding that men should never enter spaces reserved for women and girls.

We endure language that erases us & laws that fail to protect us. Female prisoners should NOT be exposed to predatory males.
We are not 'anyone with a cervix' as

tell us.
We are women. We will not be erased in language or in law.
#TheCountessDidntFightForThis
Ireland: At least two of the men in the women’s wing ( capacity 28) in Limerick prison in Ireland, are sex offenders. They scream at female inmates in a sexual manner who then get sent to their cell should they complain. These women have already endured a lifetime of male abuse.
Given that It is pitifully difficult to get anyone convicted of rape in these isles, the idea that that rapist can then choose to be locked away with some of the most vulnerable women in society is appalling, and more people should have the guts to say so.

Society needs black and white, all-or-nothing rules so that people can react appropriately when they see men crossing women’s boundaries. This is not due to transphobia - it is due to a collective will to protect women and girls from opportunistic men.
This is the horrific fallout of the Gender Recognition Act which was enacted without any public awareness, debate or consultation.
To this day, the public has no idea that all medical gatekeeping & safeguarding has been dismantled.
We condemn in the strongest possible terms what is nothing less than State-sanctioned torture of the most vulnerable women in society, 79% of whom are typically survivors of Child Sexual Abuse, Domestic Violence and Rape.

No one knows how often this is happening, as most women just want to get out of the situation without causing embarrassment and to avoid confrontation. They are unlikely to report it, no longer being sure of their rights, e.g. Dublin airport women’s toilets:

by Michael McDowell, former Attorney General, Tánaiste, Minister for Justice, currently serving as a Senator and Senior Counsel, on the importance of

for women's equality.
When people see a man going into a women’s toilet or changing room, they’re now more likely to second guess their instinct to raise the alarm, because they know there’s a possibility that he might have a GRC. And no one wants to be transphobic.
Doctors in Ireland’s National Gender Service worry that young patients will suffer “significant regret” after “problem assessments” over gender identity treatment, it was reported in today’s Sunday Times.
Under heading 10: an amendment that provides that males can breastfeed; under heading 11:the removal of “she” and “her” to mean female; and under heading 12: an amendment to delete the word “woman” entirely from our maternity protection legislation.
#TheseWordsBelongToUs
Self ID law puts people into the position where, instead of being able to rely on the deterrent of the law to prevent men from accessing women’s spaces, they will have to deal with these situations themselves and potentially put themselves at risk.
As Self ID becomes more entrenched, the logical conclusion is that gradually more and more women will self-exclude from situations that pose any kind of risk to their safety. This will push women out of public spaces and sports.
People will be less likely to let their teenage daughters go shopping or to the gym unaccompanied because the changing rooms are no longer guaranteed to be single sex. Some Muslim women will doubtless self exclude to avoid contravening their religious norms.
