Just get rid of it. It doesn't have to be replaced with anything.I'm nervous about what will replace it in law ... I think I'd rather have something like this as an unenforceable anachronism in the constitution that let the current snowflake government put something far worse into legislation.

I agree that the perpetually ready to be offended are a danger to free speech.
We'll also be asked to remove the reference to a woman's special place in the home. While it is obvious that such an archaic and sexist reference should go I'll be voting to keep it ...
You don't need to be able to lactate to cook, clean and look after kids. While it may be desirable for one parent to make looking after kids their primary responsibility there's absolutely no reason why it should be the mother and it certainly shouldn't be the case that the role is thrust upon the mother in our constitution. Women may (or may not) be programmed through evolution to be more likely to want to take on that role but it should be a decision made between the parents and nobody else.I realise modern feminists are programmed to take umbrage at anything that distinguishes between the genders, even things which are matters of basic biology,
Lactation (and other feminine faculties) have their purposes. But as I said, I don't care if the wording in the constitution is made more gender neutral. Lots of Irish dads need a good kick up the whatnot to participate more in child rearing. My main concern is that babies shouldn't have to get shipped off to the kiddie prisons we euphemistically call "child care" from age zero as a matter of necessity.
private housing suitable for families now generally requires two incomes to pay for it. Having both parents working is no longer a matter of choice but of economic necessity -- the opposite of the constitutional pledge.

You're not alone around here on that!I do like a bit o' controversy
I've edited the title to reflect the discussion.
Indeed, people with gender dysphoria should just cop themselves on, same for those homo-sex-uals, as gender dysphoria isn't a real thing and can indeed be summed up by "the pick a gender, any gender silliness". A good shake, or a year in the army; that's what they need!Indeed. There is other PC nonsense, like, dare I say, All Gender toilets and the pick a gender, any gender silliness . . one of my sons puts his gender as 'Attack Helicopter'.
