CAMPAIGN UPDATE! More than 50 community and political organisations and 2200 individual people have endorsed our demands regarding the National Clinical Programme for Gender Healthcare - the new model of trans healthcare that the HSE is developing. To recap, our demands include 1) a GP-led model based on the principle of informed consent 2) no involvement of NGS staff in developing the new model of care 3) no involvement of religious institutions in the new model 4) that interim guidance be urgently issued to GPs about how to provide gender affirming care while the new model is being developed The groups who have signed include political parties, trade unions and LGBT+ groups from across the island of Ireland. This shows the huge amount of support for the principle that trans people CANNOT be ignored when it comes to developing a new healthcare system that is supposed to serve our needs Publishing this open letter is just a first step in our campaign. We will be taking further action in the future to ensure our voices are heard! Keep an eye on our page for updates and, if you haven't already, you can still sign the letter via the link in our bio. @amle.ie @people_before_profit @catuireland @pwo_ireland @rosa_socfem_ie @tcdsu.amlct @ucdsu @labourparty @uniteunionroi @gayhealthnetwork @ifutireland @linq_ireland @solidaritysocialistalternative @transpridedublin @transprideni @transpridelimerickk @transharmreduction @du_gender_equality @traireland @transhealthie @transhealthaccessglasgow @navanpridefestival @wexfordpride @douglassinwexford @maynoothpride @labourlgbt @intersex.ireland @titefilmfest @translimerick @nenaghlgbt @quareclarelgbtq @translibgla @queershedsdlr @europride2028 @mammies4transrights @tus_su_ @midlandslgbt @catugalway @catudunlaoghaire @catuwexford @catumountjoydorset @leitrimpride @redumbrellaeireann @paulmurphy_td @conor.reddypbp @richardboydbarrett @conorsheehantd @ruth.coppinger @ivanabacik

FINALLY we began the very much diy-at-home production of the BIG ROTTEN FISH DINNER CDs. we are extremely happy to announce that we decided not to make any profit out of the sales. everything is going to be donated to @transharmreduction . so, the CD sales are donation-based and we recommend around 5€ so that we actually make money for the cause quite close to our hearts <3. please do consider chipping in a bit more if you can! order through DM (soon bandcamp, but direct sales are preferred due to bandcamp taking a cut). you can pay cash, paypal, tikkie, bank transfer- however you wish to basically. pickup in Maastricht, shipping possible. ps: there is a little surprise waiting in those cds ;) we love you, we love trans and queer people, chest collapse art: @mmart.yr

ONE WEEK UNTIL TRANS AND INTERSEX PRIDE DUBLIN. JULY 11th. 2pm. City Hall. Thank you to every single person who came out and covered our city with symbols of trans power. We all continued to be denied bodily autonomy. We all continue to be denied safety. We all continue to be denied an Ireland built on equity, justice and care for all. We all know there can be another way - let’s show it on Saturday

Cork Alt Pride puts liberatory Marxist politics at the centre of queer discourse, reigniting Pride as a protest, not a parade. We believe legal wins that attain concessions from the capitalist state like gay marriage are tools on our way to organise socialist revolution and queer liberation. They are not the end goal in themselves. We fundraise not just for ourselves but for queer orgs in Ireland and internationally. At last years alt pride, €500 was raised. 40% of that went back to Cork Alt Pride, and the remaining 60% was split between: 🧡 Trans Harm Reduction (Scotland/Ireland) Provide trans-led, life-saving work such as testing DIY HRT for quality, provide healthcare funds, peer support, and connect the trans community with sympathetic GPs (while the National Gender Service has a 10+ year closed waiting list). 🧡 alQaws (Palestine) Queer Palestinian civil society org disrupting patriarchal, capitalist, and colonial oppression. They've faced repression from the Palestine Authority who have banned their events, arrested them, and conducted military-style interrogations mirroring the IDF. Their work includes counselling, running community hubs in Ramallah, Haifa, East Jerusalem, Jaffa, and mutual aid. Internationalism must not replicate capitalist hegemony nor support imperialist expansion as we currently see in West Asia. By supporting alQaws, Cork Alt Pride helps cut through pink washing at home, especially during genocide and imperialist expansion. Cuirimid ár ngrá agus ár ndlúthpháirtíocht gan teorainn. Keep an eye out for our next public meeting!

We're excited to be organising a self med 101 workshop on May 10th. 🙌 A large proportion of trans people in Ireland choose or are forced to self medicate with THR linked to the abysmal state of trans healthcare. We are campaigning as hard as we can to change this situation, but in the meantime we want to empower people who want to self medicate to do so as safely and responsibly as possible. We'll be covering issues such as: 🧪 HRT testing and safe sourcing advice 💉Accessing injecting supplies & injecting safely 🩸 Blood tests 💬 Where to find support The workshop is on Sunday 10th at 2pm. DM for address!
