      Way to bully an already traumatized teen.

      > In one case, the project reported that a judge said there was “too much reference to the transgender issue” in a child’s aftercare review, and the judge insisted that the child be referred to by their original first name during a review of planning for three siblings in care.

      Must be nice to be able to pretend that trans kids are not real.

      What a POS. Is it rare that they don’t give a judge’s name when talking about their conduct in court? Usually they’re named, right?

      >The report says that a Tusla solicitor had recalled that it was the court had previously made a direction “not to place him in a residential unit”.

      >At this point, according to the report, the judge corrected the solicitor and said that the child was a “biological girl”.

      Seems like an utterly pointless protest by the judge.

      Who does it help for him(im assuming male judge) to make everyone in the court refer to them as a girl?

      Fuck that judge. Least you can do for a traumatised child is use the name they ask you to use.

      Unless their name was legally changed, it is a court of law and I’m assuming the legal name must be used?

      A judge refusing to respect a child’s gender identity isn’t neutral or technical it’s harmful. This was a child in State care who has already been through significant trauma, and the court added to that by denying their dignity in a public setting. Authority figures should be protecting vulnerable kids, not compounding their distress.

      Why don’t they give everybody a temporary name before they appear in court?
      E.g. „Person A“, „Person B“, etc.
      That way gender is totally irrelevant and the „Person“ in question can be discussed without any restrictions.

      > He proceeded to read from a psychologist’s report in court, in which the psychologist in question “rejected the ideological label of transgender children identification” and described such labelling as a “major psycho-social act”.

      Seems like important context. If the judge is just deferring to the psychologist’s report then the controversy should be focused on the psychologist. Although maybe it’s normal for judges to contradict these reports, would be interested in hearing from someone who knows how the process works.

      Lads there are girls and there are boys and funnily enough, girls names and boys names. Boys use boys names and girls use girls names. It’s all very simple really. Anything else is BS!

      Surely, if the judge uses an arbitrary name, the judgment can be called into question at a later date.

    11. jacksqualk on

      The judge is correct. The birth cert name must be used in a court setting, unless legaly changed.

    12. Separate_Noise_8 on

      Misgendering and deadnaming are passive aggressive tactics. Shame on that fucker

    13. geesegoesgoose on

      > The judge reportedly said that professionals working with the child were placing “too much reference on the transgender issue… without underlying issues being addressed”.

      Maybe because arsehole judges are ALSO refusing to pay him the basic respect of getting his name right, and that our gender identities as trans people effect *literally everything we do“, and our real selves are incredibly intimate and core aspects of our being that are being used as a political football around the world.

      What a piece of shit. Does no harm to just use the preferred name but this wannabe Enoch Burke is now just gonna drag everything to a halt.

    15. Femtato11 on

      Reading this, I think a knitting needle would be less of a massive prick than that judge.

    16. SubstantialAttempt83 on

      Might of missed it in the article but I didn’t see any mention of the child having their name changed legally. I’m sure the courts are obliged to use the person’s legal name and not whatever the person’s preference is. Sounds like a nothing burger really.

    17. kendragon on

      One of the pathetic parts of situations such as this is the fact that if the judge had no clue of the sex of the childs in question they would casually use theythem without a second thought. However, just because they do know the sex, they will pointedly use those gender pronouns, against the childs wishes, because of their own archaic and stubborn beliefs. It costs nothing to be kind ffs.

      Edit: changed teenager to child.

    19. Hundredth1diot on

      The judge’s gender isn’t disclosed, but is it just my own confirmation bias or are men substantially more hostile on trans issues? That’s the impression I get online and in person.

      That Robert Galbraith dude is particularly obnoxious.

    20. ToysandStuff on

      So many articles doing a lot of reaching these days and it makes it seem like ragebait a lot of the time. Literally have to go to the comments to get the true context. Disappointing

    21. Lazy_Magician on

      Jeepers, between this and Enoch burke, it makes me wonder whether gender identity is going to be issue that breaks our legal system.

    22. Bumblebee-Feeling on

      What a trivial thing to be outraged at, my name is Irish and I’m regularly called the wrong name, even a woman’s name which reads similar, bigger problems to worry about.
