@Avabelly__ You should introduce a proper indexed minimum wage. Australia just increased the minimum wage to $26 an hour. Then tipping becomes a gratuity, as it’s intended to be. You could avoid all this angst.
@JohnRuddick2@LyleShelton Only time I’ve ever seen a libertarian concerned about women and girls being safe is when they’re trying to control our bodies. Libertarianism is all about retaining the rights and privileges of white men.
@HJoyOz@ACLobby So are you suggesting it is ok for older kids to sexually assault a younger kid, as in this example? Is it acceptable for boys to make sexist jokes and catcall girls, as the young author of this essay was saying was unacceptable? What the fuck are you saying? Eeerrrk
@ausvstheagenda It’s about being treated fairly. The employer may not recognise her as trans, and act on the assumption that she may become pregnant by discriminating against her. It’s pretty straightforward really. A cis woman who is infertile can still be discriminated against on that basis.
