What happened?!

  1. Just checking.

    Did these speakers express questionable opnions on stage this weekend?

    Or have these speakers expressed questionable opinions in the past?

  2. The amount of transphobic comments from people here is unbelievable.

    People can identify or choose to be whoever they want to be, and we have no right to deny them their rights or denounce them.

    Edit: maybe because I’m young and still bit naive, but I didn’t realise how many backward pieces of shit are still about in 2022 in Ireland.

  3. The year the had the traffic chaos they had some nob involved in organising ATN the day before on Twitter patting himself on the back for “cultivating an epic lineup” or some shit like that.
    The tweet got the height of it when people were stuck for 6 hours in traffic

  4. So *Almost* All Together Now, then?

    Dissenting voices tend to mess up seemingly noble ideas. Passionate debate is a healthy part of a vibrant democracy. Dictating, no so much. Or is that passé now?

  5. Went swimming, came back to find a crazy thread.

    I am not trans, nor do I know anyone trans so I cannot speak personally of how much transphobia and those spouting such abhorrent shite can really hurt.

    I have an autistic daughter, there is a type of therapy that encourages autistic individuals to basically “be/act less autistic” so they are more “normal” and fit into society better. If I was somewhere that has speakers that believed in such practices it would hurt me deeply. I love my daughter for who she is, let’s love trans people for who they identify as too. Happy Pride 🌈

  6. Stella is a very experienced psychotherapist and she supports the holistic approach for children that present as gender non-conforming.

    The trans hardliner nut jobs are up in arms because to them chemical castration and double mastectomies are the only acceptable forms of “healthcare” for children. This is the reason that the NHS is shutting down the Tavistock clinic.

    It is a sad that the zealots try to shut down the conversation at every opportunity. The trick they use is to claim that every criticism is a denial of their right to exist. We need more women like Stella.

  7. It is horrible whereby you cannot speak up because you run the risk of being cancelled and losing your job and so on. Freedom of speech is so important and no one should be above criticism. It is essentially a dictatorship when you start saying you cannot offend this or that person.

  8. Rachel Moran and Stella O’Malley have been called TERFs by gender ideologues here and they made a huge ruckus on social media about it so they capitulated and apologized. Stupid woke extremist madness means that two intelligent feminists are apparently not allowed to publicly speak anymore.

  9. I’m so fucking confused.. surely if Stella O’Malley was a speaker she would have been hired by the festival and they would have known she was going to be there? Or am I totally off base with this?

  10. lol the comments here are hilarious if you take a second to google any of this. “The left is CANCELLING Stella O’Malley” a company decided not to work with her. “She can’t even speak her opinion” Stella has a podcast, she’s very free to speak her opinion. “Freedom of speech” Freedom of speech also applies to companies. if a company decides they don’t agree with Stella’s views and cut her off they’re 100% allowed to do that

  11. Irish trans person here. So, what have I learned today? I’ve learned that should I be sent to prison I will spend all my time trying to rape other prisoners. I’ve learned that I’m a wannabe Olympic athlete. I’ve learned that I’ve chosen to be born trans. I’ve learned that I’m delusional and mentally ill. I’ve learned I’m actually “just” gay. I’ve learned I can’t take “criticism”, which is to say that I can’t accept those other “truths” I’ve been told today.

    And I’ve learned those things from people who have probably never even met a transgender person.

    You don’t have the SLIGHTEST F’N CLUE. Mind your own damn business.

  12. Well its as simple as:

    They want tolerance but dont care about the truth.

    Its hard to Navigate in a world where anything could trigger anyone no matter what kind of twisted view they have

  13. Funny* how no one gives the slightest shit about some issues until they become a stick to beat trans people with

    * Funny – read, really obvious and sad
