Trans women are being 'demonised', Cork Work With Pride conference hears

Speakers at the Work With Pride conference at Cork City Hall included David Gould, Saoirse Mackin, Ailbhe Smyth, Leo Varadkar, and, via a recorded video, Micheál Martin. 

Trans  women are being demonised as a threat to other women in places like female-only bathrooms to create fear and division, a Cork Pride conference heard.

Speaking at the Work With Pride event at Cork City Hall, trans advocate Saoirse Mackin said that figures show that Republican Congressmen in the US, a cohort known to peddle this fear, are in fact many times more likely to assault someone in a bathroom.
