Shay Woulahan is an Irish writer, feminist activist, and social media content creator known for her outspoken advocacy on lesbian rights and gender-critical feminism. She has contributed to platforms such as Reduxx and On The Woman Question, where her work often critiques gender ideology, the commodification of women’s bodies through surrogacy, and violence against women and girls. On a personal note, Shay resides in Belfast with her wife and their pets. She maintains an active presence on social media platforms, where she shares her perspectives on feminist issues and engages with a broader audience.

She’ll be joining the panel “No Country for Free Speech”—a powerful conversation exploring how freedom of expression is increasingly threatened in Ireland and beyond. From cancel culture to censorship, and the growing cost of simply stating biological facts, this discussion will spotlight how young people—LGB and allied—are pushing back against enforced silence.
