Trans rights are human rights.
"As of today, it will henceforth be the official policy of the United States government that there are only two genders, male and female"

Donald Trump in his inauguration speech that his government’s official policy will only recognise two genders.

Really positive results from the #TIMSS study, conducted by my colleagues in the ERC. A picture of stability for the most part, but attention needed for gaps in performance according to gender and #DEIS status.

First revived #edchatie discussion on Monday evening, 7.30-8.30pm, is on what we want in education from the next government.

Irish educators: pls repost this today.

Looking for future hosts: drop a PM if you're volunteering!

The hopeful thing I’m taking away from this election is how few votes the far right guys are getting. There’s no silent majority of far right in Ireland. When they’re out doing their stupid protests, that’s literally all of them out there.
