882 transgender people in Ireland officially changed their gender in less than seven years.
They received Gender Recognition Certificates from the Department of Social Protection between 2015 and 2021.
Carolyn Ann Willis, who lives in Co Leitrim, got her gender changed to female in 2017, having been born male.
She says it’s too easy to get a cert.

Might give it a go myself and see if it drops the insurance.
Fair play if it’s what they want
Oh no! 126 people on average per year, out of millions in Ireland????
And to think there are people who devote their lives to hating such a tiny, tiny group. The idea that accommodating trans people would do some kind of societal harm has always been absurd, but this just goes to show *how* absurd it really is.

If it makes them happy then best of luck to them.
What I’ll never accept is the shit going on in the USA where children as young as 6 are starting gender reassignment therapy. We need to let children pass through puberty and fully develop biologically into before they make these decisions. A human brain isn’t fully developed until our mid 20’s.
Back of the napkin math
882/7= 126 p/a
126/4,996,045 (pop of Ireland) = 0.00252 x 100
0.252% of a % of the population got genderrecognitionn certificates
​
Higher % than I wouldve thought.
882 over 7 years, 126 people per year
Evenly spread over 26 counties (Its not, but I’m just saying if it was), thats roughly 5 people per county per year.
Just in case there’s panic that some people think we’re being over-run with trans folk, its a small number thats being entirely politicised and blown out of proportion because of the instant reaction the topic gets.
Funny how they weren’t taking issue with the accessibility of those certs when they were looking for one themselves…
Why do so little people get so much attention by the masses and main stream media
This is a fantastic distraction from things that don’t really matter at all like the housing crisis, government corruption, public healthcare, sustainability or ecological breakdown, I for one am glad so much time and emotion is invested in such a pressing matter that impacts every single one of us on a daily basis.
I grew up in Thailand where trans was considered a third gender rather than the binary system we have here. Also don’t remember people getting anywhere near as upset over there as here. However, I do think the idea of a third gender is cooler because why does everyone have to get shoehorned into one of two
Be careful. We’re going to start hearing stories in the media and rumours going around that trans people are all rapists or something. Someone is starting lies and they’re spreading.
As a non-binary person, Ireland doesn’t recognise my gender as valid or legal. It isn’t in the certificate at all.
I was born in another country where it is recognised. I feel sad that after so many years living here, I have to get me a foreign passport just to be recognised as X, not F or M.
I would love to be Irish citizen and X. But the way it is right now, they’re making me chose.
40 trans women of 287 applicants in the USA have been transferred to women’s prisons. 97 of the applicants are registered sex offenders. Zero trans men have been transferred to the men’s prison. Many believe that this is a deliberate attempt to victimize the women in the prison system by these sex offenders. The insanity keeps increasing.

Distraction non issues everywhere
The amount of hate and victimisation of a group of people who wouldn’t even half fill the Olympia. People like Glinner should be ashamed of themselves.
As an enby I just say “one of us one of us gooble gobble gooble gobble”
So that’s a whopping 0.000715% of the population and just think of the amount of time people spend panicking about this.
Why do they need them if there is self-ID since 2014?
If I’m bald and wear a toupee, can I get official recognition that I actually do have hair?
So fuckn what?
I thought twould be thousands with all the publicity it gets
I think its a bit mad to be honest and backwards step for society.
