@senatorbabet Firstly, you’re not the head of a household. Just the number 1 cause of vaginal dryness in Australia.

Voting should not be compulsory, and not everyone should automatically have the right to vote. Before casting a ballot there should be basic eligibility requirements, for example being a net taxpayer and the head of a household. It would solve many of the problems facing Australia (and Western civilisation) remarkably quickly. It would be done and dusted at the next election.

@senatorbabet What are Americans sacred and above the law in your philosophy?
English
Australian government bureaucrats are that out of control that they are threatening an American citizen. Australia is not a serious country any more.

The Australian government has officially declared war on free speech, and they have threatened me with 12 months in prison for exposing their blueprints. I have been served with a production notice from their new Royal Commission on Antisemitism and Social Cohesion. They are using expert activists to weaponize the definition of antisemitism by broadening it to include any criticism of Israel or globalist power structures. They want to label our speech a national security threat. Their own documents express deep frustration that platforms like Gab have shifted toward true free expression, and they are now moving to force us back into their controlled and state monitored box. They demanded I hide this information and threatened 12 months of jail time if I speak. Good luck enforcing that. I do not answer to Australian bureaucrats, and Gab does not answer to state sponsored censors. This is exactly why we built Gab. We are creating a parallel society that is independent of their captured institutions, their corrupt courts, and their laughable threats of imprisonment. You cannot cage the truth, and you cannot stop a people who have decided they will no longer be silenced. We are staying the course. We need your support now more than ever.

@senatorbabet There's no such thing as blanket free speech. Most speech is censored in all nations. Freedom of speech, as in the concept declared in USA constitution, refers only to political speech.

I want to roll the cultural clock back to 1940. And eventually, I think it will happen. People like me aren’t intimidated by outrage, media campaigns, or elite opinion. We’ll keep building the culture we want, and those who despise it will either adapt or become culturally irrelevant. The tide is turning. In the end, men like me always win.

@RpsAgainstTrump Has he even read the New Testament? In the Garden of Gethsemane, when a disciple (identified as Peter in John 18:10) drew a sword to defend him during his arrest, Jesus said, "Put your sword back in its place... for all who draw the sword will die by the sword" (Matthew 26:52).
English
JD Vance ATTACKS Pope Leo:
He said that God is never on the side of those who wield the sword. How can you say that?
Was God on the side of the Americans who liberated France from the Nazis?
Was God on the side of the Americans who liberated Holocaust camps?

@eekiemout @scarletalliance I was surprised to see the love of my life and partner in crime, Josiah John Ashwood, standing in the background of this 2019 rally image provided by Respect Inc. He died in Nov 2023 and his absence has been acutely felt by me more so since the passing of the bill in Qld. Beyond.

Australia’s @scarletalliance says that the general public “won’t even notice” that Queenslands s$x industry has been decriminalised.
But that’s not the case for 4 its workers who say it’s a monumental & hard fought win for workers health and safety.

"Additionally, the new law updated the Anti-Discrimination Act 1991 to include protection for sex workers ensuring that sex workers could not be discriminated against by hotels & accommodations for believing that guests would be using a room for sex work."

Scarlet Alliance has long advocated for a rights based approach to migration, including accessible migration pathways, secure visas and an end to discrimination against our communities, including sex workers and people living with HIV! #IAS2023 sbs.com.au/news/article/a…

@MyahaQueenie171 @UglaStefania Are you suggesting mysogyny is being applied to transwomen but not transmen? I don't think so. The loudest transphobic voices seem to be coming from radical feminists. Anyway I know a few transmen who are active in debates
English
@colwight @UglaStefania I think it would be an interesting exercise to do this. I mean how long ago did these gendered sport categories get started. They are based on old attitudes about women being sooo much weaker and less competent than men. Sure biology plays a part but how much really?
English
@UglaStefania Do you think we should get rid of male and female categories in sport all together?
English
Sigh...more evidence we will have to keep fighting for sw rights forever. Netherlands used to be a beacon of liberalism and common sense.
SIN SA@SIN_SouthAus
Yet another shameful example of lawmakers ignoring the voices of sex workers, assuming what is best for us and enacting changes that will only increase harm. Listen to sex workers! insider.com/amsterdam-rebr…

NEWSFLASH: The Attorney General @ShannonFentiman has announced the intention to decriminalise SW following 47 recommendations from the independent QLRC Report (still to be released) #DecrimQLD

If you've ever thought about coming out to support sex workers rights in Qld NOW is the time. HELP TO MAKE HISTORY on May 1

We’ve been invited to March on LABOUR DAY in pride of place behind the First Nations contingent. This is because the decriminalisation of s3x work is considered a key issue alongside the Voice to Parliament. #DecrimQLD

@scarletalliance @FawkesJanelle Proud to call Jules a friend and she has worked her butt off for #sexworkers rights at #scarletalliance and will no doubt continue to at #NSWP

Today we say goodbye to our CEO since 2016, Jules Kim.
A brave and outspoken voice for sex worker rights, she has fearlessly led us through the pandemic and been part of countless campaigns to achieve decriminalisation and anti-discrimination protections across Australia.
