Jenny Maguire: Criticising the EU does not make you Nigel Farage

For a union at a crossroads, we need to be calling for increased scrutiny - not less.

Ireland AM set, with two men and two women sat on a large maroon couch. A glass coffee table sits in front of them. Elaine, the host sits to the left, then Gavan Reilly, Jenny Maguire and Larry Donnelly

Back on Ireland AM to discuss the election this morning!

Photo of a polling station sign. It’s on a tall lamppost, taken looking up at it. The sky behind is a misty blue, with a tree to the left of it.

“And Heather Humphreys wants…a job”

My commentary on Monday’s Tonight Show - watch the full segment here: youtu.be/4TsmpuSJhNk?...

Couldn’t do it without every single other trans person before me! Thank you Lilith ❤️

“Independent Candidate gives rare hope to disillusioned voters like me”

My first article in the Sunday Independent today! Connolly will represent the people of Ireland - not the party of Simon Harris.

Here’s Jenny Maguire, the first trans woman elected to be President of the Student’s Union at Trinity College, Dublin, recommending voting for Catherine Connolly, the inclusive president we need! Jen is sound! #Aras25

❤️❤️❤️

As were you Trish! As well as leading us all so we weren’t going around like headless chickens haha - see you during the week!

“Everything is about Palestine for those who recognise what is at stake for us all”

Trans and intersex pride, 2pm, Dublin City hall

TODAY!

Newspaper article titled “for so many students, our options are: live with mammy or head to australia”, written by Jenny Maguire

“But why would they change? We can't vote against them from abroad.”

In today’s Irish Independent.

Jenny Maguire speaking at the Dublin dyke March. She stands behind a large banner reading “Dublin dyke March: dissent, disrupt, resist!”. Shelley, an ISL interpreter, stands next to her, with a large crowd around her

Jenny stands in front of an Taoiseach addressing Dublin pride. She holds a sign that says protect trans lives.

Bród abú ✊

Jenny's t-shirt says STOP VIOLENCE AGAINST GAYS & WOMEN - the slogan that led the 1983 Fairview Park March, sometimes described as "Ireland's Stonewall." That march protested the freeing of a group of young men who murdered a young gay man, Declan Flynn, in a cruising area in a public park in 1982. In the crowd behind Jenny & Mo, somebody holds a placard that says "Dykes for a free Palestine."

The 1998 OG Dyke March Dublin banner during the speeches. @moobstreperous.bsky.social holds one end, @jennymaguire.bsky.social holds the other. Jenny is a trans student leader, prominent in Palestinian solidarity protests in Trinity College. More in alt text.

“Feathers and fun are fine, but organisers of major Prides need to get Political again” reads the headline of the photographed newspaper. Also on the newspaper is a photo of two femme presenting people at Pride, dressed in rainbow.

“Our bodies, lives and who we love are being politicised. It feels as if the organisers of the larger Pride marches are the last ones to see this.”

J1s could be affected by US Pause in Student visa interviews as Trump plans stronger social-media vetting.

I’ll be on the tonight show in about an hour to discuss Trump’s pause on student visas.

We must resist all attacks on academic freedom.

Newspaper featuring some of the article in today’s independent

We need to be providing a real alternative - not a barrage of messaging and false competition.

In today’s Indo, I propose the need for a true coalesced opposition.

WHY YOU NEED GO COME TO OUR TCD BDS PROTEST JUNE 4TH

A conference stage with four speakers and a sign language interpreter. The title on the screen behind them reads political resistance and protecting democracy for LGBTQ+ safety.

This was a really fantastic and inspiring conference - something I do not say lightly! The forward focus on intersectionality and community action is really great to see for the movement

Thank you to LGBT Ireland and all involved <3

The Tánaiste responded by saying what Israel is doing is a war crime…but took no accountability in the role we play to facilitate it.

Queer people have always questioned and challenged the very foundations we stand upon - we must keep doing so for all oppressed peoples.

Minister Simon Harris standing behind a podium at a conference. A yellow and purple gradient is displayed on a screen behind him, reading “Defending Freedoms, Advancing Human Rights”, with his name and title below. The minister wears a red tie.

I interrupted Simon Harris’ address to the Defending Freedoms conference in Dublin Castle.

The minister raised the work done by Ireland for LGBT people, then I asked “what about the queer people in Gaza we facilitate the murder through Shannon Airport”

Newspaper with the headline “Sniggering at the Drury Street drinkers disguises a more sinister trend in our cities”, written by Jenny Maguire. There is a photo of bollards on Dublin’s Drury Street that read “please don’t sit on the curb thank you”.

When “order” stands at the heart of policy making decisions, our lives and spaces become compartmentalised. Anyone want to do otherwise is then criminalised.

Young woman smiling in a selfie after her swim. Her hair is wet and holds her thumb up to the camera.

Seapoint beach with the sun shining

My sea swim lasted 90 seconds not because I'm afraid of the cold, but because of my speed advantage as a trans woman doing a sport x

Young brunette woman in red top takes a mirror selfie. The top is tied up in the centre with bows, and she has a soft grin across her face.

Similar the last photo, but her head is tilted more towards the camera.

Bank holiday !

Grma!

Will do! The little reminder on x used to save me - will be more conscious!

Thank you Lilith 💖
