Four years ago today was the last of three radio shows on
@rte - thanks to
@talktojoeduffy that permitted open discussion on gender identity. I was one of the speakers (c.42 minutes in). It was one of the most frazzled weeks of my life. Remember? RTÉ were called to appear before an Oireachtas committee, those of us who spoke voicing concerns about gender were compared to Putin on
@IrishTimes by Una Mullally. We were demonised, trashed, and ultimately all discussion was silenced. RTE
@rteliveline are now running scared and haven’t allowed open discussion since.
