@CMacCaba I thought it showed they were remote from mainland Irish political life. Insular.

@noahadams My daughter is trans. In Ireland we had to issue legal proceedings to get an initial apt after 5 years in camhs. We went with @GenderGP Now have to pay privately for facial feminisation surgery abroad as well

@MrAComerford @parislees @arobertwebb @boodleoops @bindelj @Mermaids_Gender So @arobertwebb anti trans? Shocking. I am a mum of trans teen. 3 years ago I knew nothing about the challenges. Now it's OK to discriminate, hate, criticise young teenagers. Not OK to gay, race, religion... But open season on trans.

Trans health care dealt a horrific blow today. @TaviAndPort came over monthly to provide Healthcare to trans teens. The Endocrinologist in @CMRF_Crumlin hasn't been replaced (she got new job).

@AidanCTweets @guardian I donโ€™t need to read about it, I am sadly living it #mumtransteen itโ€™s heartbreaking, my daughter is like a spring fawn, tenderly stepping into transphobic society.

This Xmas my trans teen got cards from their dad/grandparents that didn't refer to gender - prompted by me. Last birthday cards were a disaster. But today... .. teenage shrug of shoulders... Wonderful ๐Ÿณ๏ธโ€๐ŸŒˆ๐Ÿ’๐Ÿ’๐Ÿ’๐Ÿณ๏ธโ€๐ŸŒˆ @Chr1stinaG @Noah_Halpin @DeniseMBreen @DrAdrianHarrop

@SuddenWidow I had a bestie since I was 3. I was the life and soul, talk to anyone, witty etc. when I was 28 my fiancรฉ died by suicide. My bestie dropped me as I was no fun anymore. It was a double whammy. Your friend is no use to you.

@nilerodgers @IzzyKamikaze @Ryanair I saw once where a girl onboard protested by standing up and the plane couldn't take off. That's what passengers should do if they witness this again.

@dublin_damo Agree. When I arrived in Dublin everyone had friends from school or local area - easy to go for post work drinks, but not to get into their lives. Wee Nordie experience

@JolyonMaugham Girls with precocious Puberty (periods at 8) are put on blockers, stay on til 12 then come off them with no negative outcome. This is just tabloid opinions by do gooders, who never helped trans kid in their life
