Hi Collette, you may have covered this in a previous article but an important point to consider in all this gender ideology nonsense is: where is this coming from?
I believe it is NOT organic and that vulnerable people have been manipulated on a worldwide scale which has been made possible by controlled global media.
We can argue about possible reasons for this but I have no doubt this is factually true. The problem now is, in not considering this, ‘gender ideology’ is given an unwarranted legitimacy.
A dangerous personal and societal version of the Emperor’s New Clothes …
It’s not organic at all. It’s being driven globally with political activists who have infiltrated into academia, corporate and every aspect of society. Parents and teachers didn’t ask for this in the curriculum!
A multi billion dollar funded agenda. Part one is a good start and we have part 2-4 on our channel also. This series was based on hundreds of research hours by a retired Engineer
I don't know who is the man referred to so I can't comment on his arguments, but I will say that belief in gender identity ideology tends to rest on an over-reliance on heuristics, particularly associations. This may be why there is such a strong rejection of parallels drawn with religion. Religion is associated with authoritarianism, false ideas, old ways now rejected. Therefore to say gender identity ideology is similar to religion is, to some adherents, to say these things about it. It's the same mindset that evaluates ideas based on who else holds them, rather than looking at the idea itself.
But in reality religions have both good and bad aspects (something liberals can grasp more easily when said about minority religions). I'm an atheist but I think sometimes a religion can capture an important truth otherwise too slippery to pin down. Society is better off, I think, with both believers and atheists. So to point out that gender identity ideology functions like a religion is not necessarily to dismiss it. It's pointing out certain limits it has and boundaries that need to be drawn around it in a secular society with freedom of belief.
"Protests in libraries, at politicians’ homes, or at events where women are speaking, only work to instil fear and to stifle the healthy exchange of ideas that is so badly needed"
Where is the location for this healthy exchange? I must have missed it over the past for years when they've been on a crusade to warp and groom and destroy children, damage most of the country with a conjured plandemic and subsequent intentionally harmful 'vaccine' program, and now the third plantation of single male barbarians country wide.
If only I had known about this exchange place, where the government and their puppeteers were listening, maybe I could have stopped it all...
Will you give me a break...Why don't you just tell it like it is, and stop trying to feed the crocodile that's devouring us all? Your weak platitudes won't gain you any mercy from your enemies, and they also insult the brave efforts of people who have manned those barricades for four years now, and at least shown the organised crime syndicate that there is meaningful opposition. Peaceful direct action is to be admired and encouraged. Anyone saying otherwise is either naïve or a state stooge, unwitting or otherwise.
The only reason they've listened or at least slowed down on anything, is because of peaceful direct action.
I do not consider the protests at the libraries, at politicians homes, or against the Let Women Speak event, peaceful. Far far from it. They are aggressive, intimidating and frightening for those who have been at the brunt of them. Eilis O’Hanlon in the Sunday Indo today referred to the protests at Roderic O’Gorman’s house this week as an ‘own goal’. It’s as though people who protest like this actually want the hate speech laws brought in, want anyone opposed to the contentious issues to be seen as aggressive and intolerant. Debate happens on doorsteps, when there are elections, referendums. There are newspapers with letters pages. There is good research coming out regarding the harms of medical interventions.
Well I agree with you on the let women speak protests, but the people protesting at those are haywire-minded brainwashed leftists mostly who, God love them, have four or five bioweapons in them at this stage.
As for the protests at politicians homes, I see no problem with it. They have brought the war to our doorsteps, so let them have some in return. That said, it is convenient that Roderic O'Gorman the paedophile-associate (Thatchell) was on holidays for this one, and no one on our side knew anything about the action at his home. Methinks another Paul Connolly type operation and you might wise up to the dirty tricks they play to set the conversation tone in a complicit media for the following week to massage public sentiment.
I'll say it again, in general, the only reason they're half realising that there's a problem now is because of direct action. The people running things right now are hell bent on destroying this country and our people. The excuse of the dopey politician just screwing up has long since passed. They are at war with us, how much more evidence do you need?
They are not ‘at war with us’, they ARE us. It’s like chopping off our right foot. I absolutely see a huge problem with protesting at people’s homes. I find it abhorrent. Politicians are trying to do their best. Intimidation and aggression warrants more draconian laws in order to deal with it. There is no ‘war’ at our doorsteps. Look at Gaza where families are killed, hostages hid in tunnels, a shortage of food, cities pummelled to the ground. There is no war in Ireland. The referendum - peaceful - was one very important way voices were heard. I’m really sad and sorry to see what happened in libraries too.
If you don't consider the overt, obvious, deliberate, precise, calculated efforts to sexualise and confuse and groom Irish children an act of all out war, then you're just afraid to face up to how bad it all is. There are many like you, you're not alone.
If you don't consider the unwarranted importation of tens/hundreds of thousands of unvetted men into the country an act of resource war on the working classes so political party owners can make literal billions from the AMIF fund, then I suppose it hasn't hit you yet wherever you are.
If you don't consider them tearing thousands of terminally ill elderly patients out of acute care hospitals in April 2020 (proven to have been half empty), and stuffing them into staff-less nursing homes to die, so they could boost the apparent Covid death numbers to justify Covid lockdowns AN ACT OF WAR ON THE PEOPLE OF THIS COUNTRY BY THE IRISH CRIME SYNDICATE STATE, then I guess you must have been delivering zoom classes at that stage and loving the work from home.
They deliberately killed those elderly people (460 is the acknowledged murder number of I remember correctly) then they enacted lockdowns the WHO advised against, condemning thousands of women and children in abusive relationships to hell on earth in lockdowns.
Then they had the death figures that showed there was no dangerous pandemic in 2020, and still went ahead and ran an experimental fear based 'vaccine program' from Q3 2021, after which excess deaths and cancers and died suddenlies and vaccine injuries shot through the roof.
If you don't consider any one of those acts of kinetic war by the criminal state on our people, let alone all of them, them I envy your innocence - these politicians and their owners are not 'us'. They are monsters.
Ok I surrender Colette. I guess it comes down whether one deems people capable of ANY of the above, let alone all of them, 'human beings'. Everything above happened or is happening as I have written it. You defend these animals all you want. Just know that crocodile may come for you one day too, like it did for those elderly people they mass murdered.
Well said Michael. None so blind as those that will not see.
I sent your link above on hospital stats to every single TD and Senator. Only one replied, Gerard Craughwell. My Mum was hospitalised in 2020 and I saw with my own eyes how empty the hospital was. Entire wards were closed with the lights turned off. Meanwhile RTE was reporting the hospitals were overrun. A pandemic of lies. A pandemic of stupidity.
(I was the one called an EXTREMIST by a man on Colette’s tweet) Far right is so yesterday so new labels emerge in an attempt to silence us.
In your thread, it was a man who labelled me with this horrific and defamatory label. He even suggested schools may end up on fire or teachers hurt! Perhaps he doesn’t understand that we have a few hundred teachers in our network who don’t want to teach gender ideology. You did not refute on your thread, however you have specifically condemned library protests. Putting the leftist liberals who tried to shut down Let Women Speak in the same category as those of us who are resisting the regime is dangerous. The leftist liberals are fully supported by, cheerleading and funded by the globalists to drive forward the agenda to sexualise our children.
You have distanced yourself from library protestors and those protesting at Roderic O'Gorman's house for fear you will be labelled an "extremist" —the new label as other ones are well past their sell-by date. In doing so, you have sold out the brave actions of those resisting the extremist regime who are actively promoting sexualised books which contain information on downloading a Grinder App for children in libraries.
I did welcome your follower TJ to a debate and he instantly blocked me. Nobody has ever accepted a debate to review the content we have concerns with. Not RTE, government, NGOs, or the far left. Sadly, labelling and vilifying is much easier than an adult discussion. Truth is on our side and nobody who is vilifying us will admit that the content fetishising children is acceptable. This is a serious child safety issue and if libraries do not listen by removing such sexualised books from children's sections promoting transgender ideology then people have a right, and indeed a moral duty, to protest against it. To say protests feeding into hate speech laws is just using the regimes argument. Have we not learned from history? Comply with lockdown and we will go back to normal!
Our not for profit (Natural Women’s Council) along with other parent, teacher and child advocacy groups have campaigned tirelessly against the gender ideology being pushed onto children, and against the blatant sexualisation of children in schools and libraries. We have put our own safety and livelihoods on the line to do so. It’s fair to say that most parents agree with our views. We have done hundreds of hours of research, launched campaigns, hosted live events, leafleting, podcasts and more to start a grassroots movement across the country to inform parents.
Everyone has their own strategy - be it with the pen or taking action and speaking thousands of parents. Taking direct action (peacefully) when our voices have been ignored is not “extremist”.
There is a war on women and children - maybe not with missiles and bombs, but erasing women, letting men in our spaces to steal sports trophies from our daughters, and grooming and sexualising children - this is a war.
I've no idea who TJ is. I don't support library protests. I don't supports protests at anyone's home. I accept that there are many teachers who do not want to teach children about gender identity. I think it's wise to reject books teaching gender ideology as fact.
I do think protests where people end up intimidated and fearful - either in their workplaces or in their homes or neighbourhoods - are feeding into hate speech laws. I support peaceful protests that aren't abusive or aggressive or insulting towards anyone. Sorry if this offends you.
Yes, everyone has their own strategy. I accept that too. And there are different ideas on what constitutes a war. Personally, I do not consider this a war but I accept that you do. Perhaps take the issue up with TJ. I honestly haven't a clue who he is.
This is most definitely a war. In fact it is the first truly asymettric war, the like of which we've never seen. It is a battle deployed on multiple vectors, kinetic war being just one. Right now, in Ireland, we are at the forefront of vicious information war. If Colette Colfer can't grasp that, she is not only fast tracking herself to being a casualty of that same war, she is also placing the rest of us in danger.
'Information war' is very different to war. Are you yourself involved in any online groups or grassroots organisations? It's fascinating to me that the reason I posted this blog was because a man said that I was fuelling extremism. You are coming from the other side of the debate and you are basically suggesting the same thing but in reverse. I think it's time for me to retire from this topic. Let you all fight it out between ye.
you are a traitor , you are controlled opposition, you defend the pédophíles and monster politicians and the regime, all you care about is your salary and pension. you are a sellout and you are only worried about staying with the club that controls the regime, the regime which includes the politicians , civil service, ngos, gardas and the brainwashing arm the education sector are at war with the Irish people, so fook off you traitor .

It’s to destroy the family unit. To sterilise children and to make money for big pharma.
