I will take a moment to reflect on what I will call a conversation, but I am not sure that is what it was. The conversation took place on a show on TV last night around the trans community. It is a replica of a conversation we keep seeing again and again. When these conversations are happening, it is very important we remember Ireland has been ranked as one of the worst at having trans healthcare in Europe. We need to listen to the trans community and avoid any attempts to import this divisive, cultural war narrative from the UK or elsewhere, which seems to be floating around the place. We need only look over to the US where there are dozens, nay, hundreds of anti-trans and anti-LGBT Bills in progress throughout the States. Hard-won rights are being rolled back, not only in the US, but in the UK. I do not know what the word is and conversation is not the right one. It was disheartening to see that last night-----
