Report Gender Observatory
Of Rodolfo De Mattei
Lo University College Dublin (UCD) the largest university in the Republic of Ireland, with beyond 1.300 teachers and almost 32.000 students, bends to the global "gender diktat" by adopting a series of revolutionary measures in order to make the university environment more "inclusive" and "welcoming" towards students transgender e genderqueer.
Among the innovations foreseen by the gender policy just introduced there are the reclassification of 170 campus bathrooms like “gender neutral”, the adoption of a changing room genderless within its Belfield sports center e, sweet in the bottom, the introduction of the possibility for students trans Of change your name on official university documents without the obligation to present gender recognition certificates.
Interviewed on the radio program “Ray D’Arcy Show”, Sam Brophy, computer science student and company secretary LGBTQ (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer) who identifies as “non-binary”, clarified to the listeners what is meant by this term: "I am non-binary in that I don't identify as either male or female, we refer to these genders as binary genders: are the only two options you are given, when you are born you are either male or female”.
Katherine Zappone, Minister for Children and Youth, explained with the following words the "goodness" of the University College Dublin initiative, underlining how these new measures follow the tradition of the campus: “Our universities are engines of change, promoters of equality and champions of justice. (…) UCD continues this proud tradition by providing a welcoming campus for trans and genderqueer students and employees“. “As long as members of our community feel alone, discriminated against or even afraid“, he continued Zappone, “our journey towards equality is not over. As an academic and as an independent minister I thank UCD for taking us another step towards the goal of full equality for all.". Words that those echoed of the president of the University of Dublin, the professor Andrew Deeks, which he stated: “This policy affirms and celebrates the diverse genders and gender expressions reflected in our large, multicultural staff and student population“.
It's not clear which one "proud tradition” speak Minister Zappone. Of course, the new gender agenda just adopted byUniversity College of the Irish capital, will make the Archbishop of Dublin turn in his grave Paul Cullen who founded the university way back 18 maggio 1854 with the name of Catholic University of Ireland, before than in 1909 the National University of Ireland was established (National University of Ireland), as well as its first rector, the blessed English cardinal John Henry Newman. In this sense, the imposition of the "gender diktat" within the former Catholic University of Ireland emblematically symbolizes the desolate and ruinous parable of St. Patrick's Island, once known as “very Catholic Ireland”.
