This afternoon I chat with barrister Laoise De Brún, founder of The Countess, ahead of the The Countess conference taking place this coming Saturday in the RTE concert hall in Dublin. This conference has faced challenges in the run-up to Saturday’s event and I’ll be chatting to Laoise about this aspect during the course of conversation as well as the rationale for holding the event.
Our chat will focus on the work of The Countess, the upcoming weekend event, targeting of event by protestors, What is Trans?, the eight pillars of concern for The Countess in Ireland today.
The Countess is a non-profit, volunteer-led organisation formed to promote and protect the rights and interests of women and children in Ireland. The name derives from Countess Constance Georgine Markiewicz who, as Minister for Labour in the First Dáil, was the first female cabinet minister in all of Europe.

The Countess has eight pillars of concern which are:
SINGLE-SEX PROVISION
Self-ID erodes women and children’s rights, protections and freedoms.
LANGUAGE
The words “mother” & “women” are being erased – from seven bills and public health guides.
LEGISLATION
Bills like hate crime, anti-“conversion therapy” and others criminalise dissent.
PRISONS
Violent males are being housed with vulnerable women.
SCHOOLS & SAFEGUARDING
Safeguarding guidelines are being breached in schools & elsewhere.
TRANSITIONING OF MINORS
There is no evidence base for transition; 80%+ desist without medical intervention.
SPORT
Safety & fairness are being compromised by males in women’s sport.
LESBIAN ERASURE
Lesbians are being pressured into transition or accepting males as partners.
Great interview, Gerry. I hope they don't have any trouble at the event.
