And still nothing that lines up with the topic.
Maybe the topic should be "No idea about trans people" You all seem to be getting that right.
You cant change from man to woman or woman to man.
Anyone who tells you that you can is treating you like the moron he thinks you are.
Gillard, you stupid, stupid woman.
Next week, Julia Gillard will appear at the Hay Festival in Wales where she will be speaking on misogyny and sexism in politics – her pet subject. At the festival, Australia’s first female prime minister will dine out on her historic status, commanding her usual fee to lecture the world on what it means to be a woman in public life.
All the while, back home, Australian women and girls continue to clean up the mess her government created with the 2013 amendments to the Sex Discrimination Act. Under her leadership, and with Mark Dreyfus as attorney-general, the Labor government quietly removed the biological definitions of “man” and “woman” from the act.
Previously, the law explicitly defined a “man” as a member of the male sex and a “woman” as a member of the female sex. These were replaced with the vague, self-declared concept of “gender identity”. There was no referendum, minimal public debate, and little scrutiny.
It was sold as simple inclusion and progress. In reality, it laid the groundwork for the erosion of sex-based rights that we are living with today.
....
The judges ruled that noticing a man looks like a man can itself be unlawful, because “looking like a man” is now treated as a protected aspect of gender identity.
They declared that sex is changeable under the act. The legal category of “woman” has effectively been made unisex. Women’s rights to single-sex spaces, forged through decades of advocacy, were rendered invisible.
...
As Julia Gillard steps onto the international stage this Monday to opine on misogyny and sexism, Australian women will keep cleaning up the disastrous legacy of her government’s 2013 changes.
Everyone knows, deep down, that a woman is an adult human female. No court ruling, no quiet legislative amendment slipped through parliament, and no amount of ideological pressure can rewrite that truth. This battle for women’s rights will not stop here.
I will never be lectured on misogyny by that woman, and neither should you.Sall Grover
