A new organisation aims to support people struggling with their gender identity to just be themselves, “without prefixes or labels”, and offers a safe space for people to talk through their concerns.

Gender Identity Ireland (GII) has been founded by Cork-based author Sara Jane Cromwell, who has written extensively about the struggles she overcame growing up in 1960s Ballyfermot as one of 12 siblings, from abuse at home to being labelled “retarded”, multiple traumas, and attempts to take her own life.
