Cis women need to understand: the attack on trans women is an attack on all women. Imagine any other “group” of women having their rights stripped away, where’s that rage? Channel it into standing with our trans sisters. Women’s rights are all of our fight.

This is not feminism. This is not women’s rights. This is not protecting women & girls. This is grotesque, sexist, patriarchal oppression. Transphobia, literally the fear rather than the reality of trans people, has brought this horror to women. To children. Everyone involved should be ashamed.

#ThroughHerEyes Mention the wren at this time of year and anyone versed in Irish folklore is likely to think of the wren boys (girls too, of course) who parade on St Stephen’s Day. But I always think of the wrens of the Curragh, those women who once lived in holes near the army camp in Kildare.
