🧵It has nothing to do with sex. This ruling has nothing to do with women's safety, it is to do with the accepted impression of what a woman is. It will embolden people to attack women regardless of their biological sex if they don't fit in. Attacks on ALL women will increase, trans or cis.

First #MiniMná is Bernadette Devlin McAliskey - civil & human rights activist, shot by paramilitaries, clattered the Home Secretary when he said British soldiers on Bloody Sunday acted "in self-defence", and all-round legend. (There's a less cartoony print here www.ciaraioch.com/artprints/p/...)

We should first recognize that gender codes are socially constructed. Clothing is not inherently masculine or feminine—codes are contextual and can change over time. Aristocratic men once wore bright red heels. Then they became womenswear until that notion was challenged again.
