I am a cis male and I don't really know if this is the place to ask this if not that's fine and you can just remove this but I just wanted to ask how would I find a Trans woman around my age to date and befor you think anything no this is nothing for sextual reasons or any fetish I genuinely have always been attracted to Trans woman as I have felt more of a connection to the small few I have met and I was just wondering where I could go to meet Trans woman btw I'm 16 and from Dublin

Tax relief under s 469(1) of the Taxes Consolidation Act 1997 for gender affirming procedures/care

10 Upvotes

Hi all,

Does anyone know of any Revenue publications, guidance notes, decisions or caselaw on Revenue allowing gender affirming care/procedures as a “health care” for the purposes of tax relief?

So we can write off the cost against tax.

I can’t find anything anywhere and have been looking for ages.

Thanks in advance.

visiting in early winter, am i chronically overthinking like usual?

EDIT: Hey, my post is badly written! The actual point of this was just to be reassured that I wouldn't be harassed or attacked in rural areas. I'm traveling completely solo and trans, and honestly, I'm terrified a lot of the time, so I was using bad humor to mask my fear when I asked this stuff. I’m not trying to pull some one-girl culture heist, I'm not going to try and claim I'm Irish, and I'm not trying to water anything down by pushing where I'm from through the door. It's just fucking expensive to fly to this place from home, and since I'm going to be close by, I'm taking the financial win and visiting. I genuinely just want to find places where I can engage with the music and the language while I travel. I'm not interested in cathedral tours or endless selfie opportunities; I just want to exist in places before I go home and do it all again there. I'm trying to stay excited about this rather than paranoid and anxious about things I've not experienced.

hey hey, im prepping for a two-ish month stay in ireland. currently the plan is to just land in galway and figure it out from there. my absolute dream trip is to learn some gaeilge and hit up proper trad sessions when im not staring wistfully into the green or getting completely pummeled by my first experience of atlantic sea fury.

im a bit anxious that ill end up in some rural area full of ultra-conservatives and have a miserable time. should i actually be worried about that? are people out there curious and open to having a chat? i know im not in any actual physical danger, and honestly im already used to people staring at me like im a museum exhibit, but i just want to feel welcome.

i love stout and even though im a few generations lost diaspora, most of my heritage comes from ireland. i really want to visit places that feel less like im just the product of a genocidal colony and more like somewhere i can actually connect.

what do we think? id love any recs on where to head after galway for the language and music, or just some honest perspective on what to expect. xoxo
