A classmate created a motion to deplatform campus speakers from fascist and far-right organizations. Connolly objected because the organizations listed included anti-trans groups LGB Alliance Ireland, Irish Women’s Lobby, and Radicailín.
All this talk about deconstructing sex really is just nonsense. Predatory men can use the idea that “woman” is just a feeling to completely degrade and dehumanize the female experience. It’s so calculated and I feel that they feed into these theories to serve their own interests. That’s especially true in the academy. […] If you have preferences about who you want to date, that isn’t allowed. You have to bury any feelings of discomfort deep deep down to even survive in that movement. They’re disconnected from their instincts.
