#Irish does not have a specific word for #genderfluid, but it is still possible to discuss it. You just have to say a gender (inscne) that is fluid (luaineach).
For example, "Sam is genderfluid" can be translated two ways:
• "Tá inscne luaineach ag Sam" (llit. "Sam has a fluid gender")
• "Is luaineach é inscne na Sam" (lit. "Sam's gender is fluid")
"A genderfluid person" is "Duine na/le inscne luaineach") (lit. "Person of/with fluid gender")
15 June 1638: Muirchertach Ó Cionga (Murtagh King) co-translator with Bishop Bedell of the #Bible to #Irish#Gaeilge is removed from his Vicarage of Kilmore by Lord Deputy Wentworth on grounds that Ó Cionga had alleged declared he had conformed just for the income (eebo)
14 June 1654: Oliver Plunkett, future Archbishop of #Armagh is released from his student oath to return to the #Irish mission - he stayed on in Rome for a further 15 years. Given what happened when he did go home, this was pretty prudent.
Today I learned that I like the concertina, a free-reed musical instrument. Today I also learned that I like when Irish musician Cormac Begley plays it. In fact, it wasn’t until today that I even knew either existed.

Final week of the #Giro and the GC race finally shows some sign of life on Monte Bondone!
A bit unexpected as well I'd say with Almeida being the one looking to animate the race. Took a well deserved stage win after Thomas bridged over to him and the two slowly took time on Roglic.
Very impressed by Dunbar and if Roglic is struggling is a podium on the cards for the #Irish rider? That would be exciting!
Medieval (Scottish) Gaelic literature: the case of Finn mac Cumaill
23 May, 5–6:30pm BST (6–7:30 CET), free online
Introducing the corpus of #medieval works centred on the legendary hero Finn mac Cumaill. The earliest texts are #Irish – yet, outwith the #Gaelic tradition, Finn is often seen as a #Scottish literary creation, not least because of James Macpherson’s imagining of him as Fingal in the #18thcentury
For a long time in Scotland, Labour been pretty much the same as the Tories. Labour supporters deny this and get annoyed so am sorry to burst such folk's bubble but here is it straight from your leader's mouth.
Labour as a socialist party is dead and the only question that remains is which party left wing Labour supporters will vote for now? #Socialism https://inews.co.uk/news/politics/labour-real-conservatives-keir-starmer-protect-way-life-2337576
