In this episode, Niall is asking: Should Ireland officially recognise only two genders—male and female? The conversation is sparked by recent international developments: The U.S. has moved away from recognising genders beyond male and female, and the UK Supreme Court recently ruled that a woman is someone born biologically female. Should Ireland now follow suit and take a stand on what some are calling “gender ideology gone too far”?

Some callers believe Ireland should stand firm and legally recognise only two genders—male and female. They argue this is based on biology and science, not opinion. One caller said, “This isn’t about hate—it’s about facts. There are two biological sexes, and we’ve allowed ideology to override reality for too long.” Others added that confusing young people with multiple gender identities only leads to more psychological harm than good.

While other callers argue that gender identity is more nuanced than biological sex. “Some people don’t fit neatly into male or female,” one caller said. “They exist, and they deserve legal and social recognition.” Others felt that acknowledging people’s identities doesn’t harm anyone and that inclusion should be a basic value in a modern Ireland.

Niall closes the show by saying he personally agrees that there are only two genders—male and female. While he respects everyone’s right to live how they choose, he believes the State should base legal recognition on biological sex, not subjective identity. “This isn’t about denying anyone their dignity,” he says, “but at some point, we have to draw a line between inclusion and confusion.”
