David Cullinane faced backlash after praising a UK Supreme Court ruling which allows the exclusion of transgender women from single-sex spaces based on biological sex. While he initially welcomed the judgment and suggested its examination in Ireland, he quickly apologized for the offense it caused. Politician Mary Lou McDonald emphasized the importance of respect in discussions of equality and LGBTQ+ issues, underscoring her personal connection as a sibling of a transgender woman. She expressed commitment to working towards equality and learning from electoral setbacks.
In terms of David, the great thing about social media is that it's immediate but that's also the problem.
I have a trans sibling, and I love my sister. She's loved beyond measure, and I want her to live a full life.
The first decision has to be that we work for equality. Everyone has to have the right to respect, and I believe we can reach that in a fair way.
Simply put, we didn't get enough votes. We learned lessons from the last campaign.
