It should be scrapped altogether.
‘Gender’ is a metaphysical belief. Fine, believe in whatever invisible aura pertaining to your self you wish.

But adherents of this belief system – inevitably – make the claim that it is equal to or eclipses empirical sex in one, more or all spheres, and accordingly will always seek to intrude in areas which are properly distinguished categorically on the basis of sex.

Your birth cert records your sex for good reason. As does your passport. Which cannot be changed. They never referred to an imaginary ‘gender’.
The gender recognition act is an example of not only how far the government are willing to go to implement insane directives from without the State, but that they are willing to create laws at odds with empirical reality when doing so.
Have a think about that.

Even if this means that women’s rights are trampled on and children are taught insane doctrines in schools and some of them sterilised and mutilated.
If the push to legalise child sexual abuse is renewed by those in the european commission who formerly supported it, there is no doubt the main Irish political parties will get behind that, too.

A fundamental reform of ‘equality’ legislation is long overdue, not just a repeal of the GRA. The whole classification of ‘protected characteristics’ needs to be junked. It’s a fundamental distortion of the concept of equality of opportunity, which goes right back to the Declaration on the Rights of Man and Citizen at the time of the French Revolution.

That standard of equality has since been distorted by the long tail of the Communist Manifesto. Marxist equality of outcome thinking underpins Dworkin’s aggressive concept of ‘rights as a sword’ (as opposed to ‘rights as a shield’). Which in turn has perverted a generalised moderate balance of rights and responsibilities.

The result is today’s obsession with an over-definition of victim classes (which has just been abandoned in principle in the US with the ditching of ‘affirmative action’/‘reverse discrimination’). This obsession has become embedded in our ‘equality’ legislation, migrating into nonsense instruments like the GRA.

So, time to dump hyperventilating ‘collectivist’ institutional interferences in our daily lives and go back to basics.

One of the reasons I voted no to the 40th Amendment of the constitution was that articles 41.2.1 and 41.2.2 of the constitution clearly make a link between the word mother and the word woman. And a man can’t be a mother. Therefore a man can’t be a woman.

In my humble opinion the referendum had nothing to do with “modernizing the wording of the constitution” and everything to do with trans activism. In order to make sure that the gender recognition act could not be challenged by the supreme court on the grounds of constitutionality, the government had to make sure that this link in the constitution was removed.

Remember that their first try was to remove the word woman from the maternity protection act. Except Countess found out about this, embarrassed the government and suddenly they had to reverse. The referendum was their second try. And it failed too.

I realise this sounds like a conspiracy theory, but sometimes they really are after you. I believe the gender recognition act will fall the first time somebody challenges it. But will be a brave person to challenge it in the courts given the viciousness of the activists.

It’s needs to be abolished to protect all women and girls. What a nonsense piece of legislation.

Would you support a decision by Ireland to copy the UK's "Rwanda Plan", under which asylum seekers are sent to the safe - but third world - African country instead of being allowed to remain here?
