Trans meetups in Ireland

In recent years, Ireland has done a lot to accept, acknowledge and celebrate the LGBT community. Their LGBT rights and laws make discrimination based on sexual orientation illegal.

It wasn’t always the case, especially with its culture known to be rooted in religion. But the favorable attitude towards the LGBT community is now the norm. Generally, it’s a good place to live for everyone.

Getting to know trans women in Ireland

Trans women in Ireland enjoy a decent quality of life here. Since 2015, they could self-identify as trans and declare it on official documents.
