Yep.

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.

It’s 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, @JuliaGillard’s @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These amendments must be repealed.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.

Terrible response from @JohnLewisRetail to a lost delivery . Delivery has quite clearly been delivered to an address that isn’t mine from the photo and the response I get is “we’ll look into it and get back to you in 6 days”. Shocking customer service.

@KemiBadenoch @Conservatives I work condensed hours over 4 days. Contracted 37.5hrs so remain full time. Other colleagues do the same. Improved work-life balance and productivity as a result. No impact on service delivery. Kemi, this is not the vote winner you think it is and IMO bordering on spiteful.

@FondOfBeetles Post menopausal now. Interesting to read replies to your post against hysterectomies. For me I wish instead of being told NO I wish I had been told why and given options and better access to menopause specialists.

[Rachel Bradley 💙 @rzb31]

@FondOfBeetles I begged for hysterectomy. Progesterone intolerant so taking HRT was hell on earth every 2 weeks of the month. Manic type symptoms making life insufferable. On Oestrogen alone felt fantastic but couldn’t have this prescribed without the Progesterone. Made decision to stop HRT.

Some photos of Gus. He has little legs so 50 miles is a big task for him 🥰

Never done this before and asked of nothing on this site so here goes. We are walking for the Samaritans in November. 50 miles in 30 days. We would love anybody that can to sponsor us. We’ll post some updates and photos. So far Gus has walked 8.5miles 🐶

Scotland's Hate Crime Act comes into effect today. Women gain no additional protections, of course, but well-known trans activist Beth Douglas, darling of prominent Scottish politicians, falls within a protected category. Phew! 1/11
