Last month I bought Reeling in the Queers: Takes of Ireland’s LGBTQ Past by Páraic Kerrigan from Gay’s The Word bookshop. It was on display just inside the door and was the only copy they had left. I couldn’t leave it behind.

I've only read the timeline from 1971-2024 and l'm already crying. People are so so good. We're only where we are now because of the people who came before.

(And what went so badly wrong between the Gender Recognition Act 2015 and shutting ALL u18 trans care in 2021?)

Day in February by Steven Sharpe aesthetic

Lyrics, as far as I can make out: I walk alone to meet him in Eyre Square, I don’t know why crowds of people make me scared. I can see his breath - it’s floating in the air. He lands a kiss, I blush, an old lady stares. He says “your hands are always cold” He says “warm them in my coat” I wrap them in the folds He says “you’re like a fucking ghost”

Head in his hands, Is buried in my beard. Soft and comfortable both sitting in one chair. We’ll plan something nice if we make it to a year He plucks a hair, I flinch and knock his beer, He says “my trousers are fucking soaked” I laugh “go dry them by the stove” He said “there’s diamonds in the coal” I say “go on, propose so”

He will never know that day I loved him so In his underwear, he was butter and burnt toast Oooooh ooooh Ooooh oooooooh

There he stood my love There is good enough There stood in love There love enough There stood my love I’ll never let him go There love enough There stood in love I’ll never let him go I’ll never let him go Oooooh Where is he now? Oooooh Where is he now? Oooooh Where is he now? Oooooooohhh where is he Where is he now?

https://gcn.ie/queer-women-irish-revolution-tg4-documentary/

Directed by Ciara Hyland, Croíthe Radacacha (Radical Hearts) is a feature documentary that explores the hidden stories of eight female couples who were at the core of the Easter Rising and the fight to free Ireland from the British Empire.

Featuring contributions from prominent LGBTQ+ activists and academics such as Ailbhe Smyth, Ciara Ní É and Eoin McEvoy (founders of LGBTQ+ Irish Language group Aerach Aiteach Gaelach), this in-depth exploration promises to refocus how we perceive these women and their contributions to the Irish revolution.

Croíthe Radacacha will air on Wednesday, December 6, at 9:30pm on TG4.

For anyone wondering, TG4 have a free online player which usually has subtitles in English. The player is also available outside Ireland.

We are conducting research into the experiences of trans people in healthcare settings.

This project addresses the lack of awareness on denial and mistreatment frequently occurring in medical settings and will provide robust data on the extent and scope of the institutional violence trans and non-binary people face when seeking gender-affirming or general medical care. Please complete the survey at the link in our bio by 26th November!
