@GrayConnolly All single sex private schools should follow suit!

The answer is a definitive NO. You aren't having a seizure. You are actually experiencing a fascinating glitch in human evolution called a Hypnic Jerk and it happens because your brain is actually trying to save your life.

Here is the exact mechanism. I have explained it under 3 subheadings:

1. The Paralysis Switch: To safely enter deep sleep, your brain must flip a chemical switch to temporarily paralyze your muscles (this stops you from physically acting out your dreams). Your body goes entirely limp and your breathing slows down.

2. The Evolutionary Glitch: When you are highly stressed or sleep-deprived, your brain's survival center stays hyper-alert. As your muscles suddenly drop into that limp, paralyzed state, your over-stressed brain misreads the data. It doesn't think you are falling asleep; it literally thinks your bodily systems are failing or that you are physically in free-fall.

3. The Emergency Override: Panicking, your brain hits the emergency override button. It fires a massive electrical shock down your spinal cord to snap your muscles tight, forcing you to "brace for impact" and wake up.

@VoteLewko @ROGDMum1 @PaulineHansonOz Perhaps she should have some professional integrity?

Jordan Peterson had a pretty blunt take on marriage and timing:

“You only get about five chances in your life.”

He pointed out that it especially applies to women because of biology. It takes roughly a year to truly know someone, then there’s recovery time after a breakup, then time to meet someone new. Before you know it, years have slipped by.

His advice? When you find someone solid who checks the boxes, don’t overthink it, get on with it.

This one really stuck with me. In today’s world of endless swiping and “there’s always someone better,” it’s a sobering reminder that time isn’t infinite, especially if you want kids.

A lot of people are delaying serious relationships, only to realize later that the options have narrowed. Peterson’s point cuts through the romantic daydreaming with cold realism.

What do you think, is the “five chances” idea too harsh, or does it feel realistic?

** An open letter to @AlboMP **

Dear Prime Minister Albanese,

Let’s get one thing clear: women are adult human females. You know it, I know it, you even said it in the lead up to the last election when asked “what is a woman” by Piers Morgan.

But we have a big problem.

I’m sure you have heard, last week, the Federal Court delivered its judgment in Giggle v Tickle, the “what is a woman” legal case that has been fighting in federal court for the past four years. To put it very simply, there are two sides to this case: women, adult human females, who want to ensure that woman is a single-sex category in law and women & girls have access to single sex spaces. The other side, which includes your human rights commission, insists that men who claim to be women are women in the eyes of the law. The full Federal Court sided with the man who claims to be a woman. Yes. A male won the “what is a woman” court case. Giggle v Tickle has turned Australia into an international laughing stock.

This decision is seismic. It means women cannot run women-only businesses for women. It confirms that the ordinary meaning of sex has been twisted beyond recognition. It means men can be women in law. The Australian Human Rights Commission, captured by ideology, has weaponised the sex discrimination act against women, the very demographic it was enacted to protect. They’ve even argued in court that men who claim to be women need pregnancy protections. They’ve pushed the view that sex is a spectrum, changeable, and that anyone objecting is the bigot. Is this something you agree with? Do you, Mr Prime Minister, think men need pregnancy protections in the law?

And there are real-world stakes here: Girls at school are holding their bladders all day, refusing to drink water, because boys who claim to be girls are in their bathrooms and they don’t want them there. Women prisoners are locked in cells with male sex offenders who simply “identify” as women. Female athletes are losing podiums, matches and safety. This isn’t inclusion - it’s the demise of women’s rights.

Prime Minister, some of your ministers say, “we need to protect trans rights”. With all due respect, sir, your government can protect so called trans rights without stripping rights from women and girls. Every other citizen manages to exist without demanding access to the opposite sex’s protected spaces. Why not try to get “trans rights” without destroying the rights of women and girls? Have you ever even tried? 

The fact that Labor hasn’t even mentioned Giggle v Tickle and women’s rights - while Liberals, Nationals, and One Nation politicians speak out - tells us everything. This week has been silence from the Labor Party. No trans visibility day parades on this one. No pride posts. Why? What don’t you want Australians to know?

You boast about your 50 per cent women in cabinet. Good for you - you can accurately recognise what a woman is when it suits you. But the rest of us aren’t allowed to without fear of punishment. And can I ask, if you filled that cabinet with 50 per cent trans women, would you still call it equality between men and women? Think about that.

While the UK, the United States and even New Zealand are waking up, rolling back the nonsense and restoring sanity and realizing that gender ideology is a failed experiment, your government is turning Australia into the laughing stock of the world. “Giggle v Tickle” isn’t just a punchline overseas - it’s proof Australia is upside down.

I want to tell you something really important: If you will lie about something as obvious as men being women, we can assume you will look us in the eye and lie about everything. 

Tell the truth. Fix the Sex Discrimination Act. Reinstate clear biological, accurate definitions of man and woman. Protect women, girls and single-sex spaces. Actually do something.

Because, at the moment, Mister Prime Minister, I’m doing your job for you.
