as far as the media in the uk is concerned, there’s no truth in the news and no news in the truth

I'm this close to just packing up my stuff and moving to Ireland or something. I can't handle it here anymore

... only you never know, whether grass on the other side is actually green, or that's just another chemical colorant.

You're not wrong, thankfully I do know a trans woman who lives in Ireland and she says she'd never come back.

The Netherlands is also at the top of my list, but that does require learning a whole other language, so its a bit harder.

I’d consider Eire as a place of safety/refuge

This isn't nothing, but it's also important to know that Ireland also has the worst trans healthcare in Europe so not a total utopia for us over here

It seems to be an issue both sides of the border too…

Yup, she mentions that in the article itself. It's nice that she was given a platform but it's her explaining how bad things are

I was working and didn't have a chance to read the article til now, thanks for pointing that out!

Imagine living in a country where the country's human rights organisations defend trans people's human rights.

My imagination isn’t that good

I mean the Irish Indo has it's fair share of transphobes. What tends to happen on balance in Irish press is token amount of time given to trans voices with the majority of commentary coming from Paul Moran etc who have ensured a broken public system that is following Cass more and more.

Yeah, Ireland isn't great by any stretch of the imagination, but it was nice to go through an election cycle basically not being raised very much at all.

Obviously 'better healthcare and support' would be things I'd like to see raised, but compared to our neighbours I'm ok with simpy not mentioned
