Róisín Michaux vs. transgender people

Róisín Michaux is an Irish anti-transgender extremist and writer based in Brussels. Michaux was reportedly “sacked by the EU Commission for TERFing.”

Michaux claims to be “researching the explosion of the gender identity movement in EU/global institutions.” Michaux writes for several anti-trans publications, including Reduxx, UnHerd, 4W, The Critic, and on a personal Substack titled Peaked.

Background

Michaux reportedly grew up in Dublin experiencing poverty in a housing estate in a single-parent home.

Michaux “wrote for culture magazines in Belgium and abroad” before becoming a “Twitter TERF.”

Michaux is married and is a parent of children, one of whom was born in 2012.

Anti-transgender activism

Michaux says, “I am militant about stopping paediatric transgender transition.”

Michaux began covering trans topics in 2022. In 2023, Michaux launched the Peaked podcast. Guests have included “Catherine,” “Jenny,” “Judith,” “Lina,” “Lydia,” “Maryann,” “Sarah,” “Sissy Joyce,” Sandra Adams, David Allison, Alessandra Asteriti, Sean Atkinson, Laoise de Brún, Rona Duwe, Suzy Eeckelaerts, Faika El-Nagashi, Alison Ellis, Tonje Gjevjon, Jaclynn Joyce, Kurt Krickler, Sara Morrison, Annette Pacey, Ruth Parry, Agata Rossi, and Dana Vitaslova.

In 2023, Michaux was involved in promoting Let Women Speak anti-trans rallies held by Kellie-Jay Keen in Utrecht (September 9) and Dublin (September 16).
