A reminder of what actually happened in Giggle v Tickle: Grover excluded Roxanne Tickle over a selfie, then misgendered her repeatedly through the whole saga. The Full Court didn't just uphold the loss — it upgraded it to direct discrimination and doubled the payout to $20k.
"Kirralie Smith fined for saying men aren't women" is the line going round. It's a lie. She wasn't punished for an opinion — she was punished for what she did to two real women. 🧵

If your "women's rights" movement needs state power to define, inspect, and verify womanhood — you're not defending women. You're building the exact machine every wave of feminism before you fought to dismantle.

Every checkpoint you build to exclude trans women from womanhood is a checkpoint that can and will be turned on cis women who don't fit the mould. Feminism didn't win by tightening the definition of "real woman." It won by refusing to let anyone gatekeep it at all.
