@DreyfusJames As a child of the 70s queer in my experience was like P**** ( people from Pakistan) and was usually followed by "bashing". Keep up the good work James.
Western society is currently divided between people who know this is a man and are prepared to say so and those who know this is a man but lie out of obedience to an ideology. There is no third option. Literally nobody on earth thinks "Roxanne Tickle" is actually a woman.
The Full Federal Court has handed down its judgement in Giggle v Tickle.
In a shock to women across the country - Sall Grover not only lost her appeal, the Court set aside the original finding of indirect discrimination and replaced it with direct discrimination, upholding Tickle's cross-appeal.
The damages were doubled from $10,000 to $20,000.
Itโs important to note the Court expressly said it was only applying the Sex Discrimination Act as it is written- it is "not empowered to give effect to its own view" about whether that law is desirable.
In 2013, @JuliaGillardโs @AustralianLabor government amended the Sex Discrimination Act- stripping the meaning out of "man" and "woman" and adding gender identity as a protected attribute to be pitted against biological sex.
Today's outcome is proof of what those amendments have done: women are left with no meaningful rights or recognition under the Sex Discrimination Act - a bitter irony, given that protecting women was the very purpose of the Act under our commitment to CEDAW.
In my opinion, this is a verdict on the law, not on Sall. The judges found that the law - as that government amended it - left them no other conclusion.
These amendments must be repealed.
The Sex Discrimination Act must once again recognise biological reality and protect women's right to single-sex spaces.
What a dark and devastating day for Australian women and girls.

๐จ Green Party leader Zack Polanski just declared men have every right to enter womenโs domestic violence shelters.
โAs long as they say theyโre women.โ
This is pure insanity that puts vulnerable women and children at risk.
Britain cannot let lunatics like this anywhere near power.
Happy 100th Birthday to Sir David Attenborough! ๐
For nearly a century, Sir David Attenborough has dedicated his life to showing the world the beauty of nature, and warning us about what we stand to lose.
From Planet Earth and The Blue Planet to Life on Our Planet, his voice became the soundtrack of wildlife documentaries for generations across the world.
What makes Attenborough different is that his message evolved with time. He didnโt just document natureโs wonders, he used his platform to speak openly about climate change, extinction, deforestation, and the urgent need to protect biodiversity.
Across 8 decades of broadcasting, he inspired millions to care about animals, oceans, forests, and the future of our planet.
Very few people leave behind a legacy this respected. ๐
Happy 100th to a true legend.
Nigel Farage secretly accepting a FIVE MILLION POUNDS gift from a Thai-based crypto tycoon is one of the biggest political financial scandals of this or any era.
Farage, for himself not the many.

BREAKING: Man who used to march down the street singing hitler youth songs and go up to his jewish classmates and make the hissing sound of gas chambers realises he can use yesterday's antisemitic attack to score some cheap political points and talk about that two-tier far-right conspiracy bullshit. Classy.
