@steveodm82 The people I call bigots are bigots, nobody else. If that’s causing you to project, it’s probably up to you to consider why that is.
English
There is not a single corner of my soul that is not improved by bigots losing.

@criprights Without a deep dive, I’m under impression the changes are punitive to NDIS recipients rather than providers. Is this correct?
English
I have almost finished fine tooth combing this NDIS Bill Amendment.
And it makes other brutalist government actions, like, idk, spikes under eaves or sprinklers on homeless people, look like a team of welcomers in the lobby of a flash hotel.
Voting for this Amendment to pass would say something very specific about the politicians who do so - 'I do not care about a third of my electorate.'
Two years out from an election. What a dick move. #auspol

@blackthugcat @VICLiberalTeam I don’t understand why birth certificates can be changed. Surely a GRC should be suffice.
English
@VICLiberalTeam should have said this in March, 2023.
Now is the time. Fix sex self ID.
With marriage equality & gender identity a protected characteristic, it's totally redundant.

@reignitedem You’re both Australian and part of the European diaspora
English
Genuine question to the so-called nationalist…AM I AUSTRALIAN?
I was born here, but my parents weren’t.
English
@AndrewAlle91219 @thiscassgirl Yes. A cohort I don’t wish to play with again. Even with control, mixed is a very different game to women’s league. Some enjoy, some don’t.
English
@in_a_knot @thiscassgirl Sucks you played with uncoordinated boys that cant handle a ball.
English
Once again I’ve played plenty of footy with & against trans people & it’s never been an issue. On the other hand cis men have threatened me in many places in my life but that’s played off as “boys will be boys”

@Brocklesnitch @LucyZelic @JuliaGillard So let's start by attempting to protect women and children by giving them their own single sex spaces. Opening up those spaces to males isn't going to help
English
@PaisleyPrickles @Sarah_Alice_X So you’ve never read the SDA? Why was that legislation created? Do you not believe sex is a necessary classification in society?
English
@in_a_knot @Sarah_Alice_X what sex based rights? please define what rights I have as a woman that are threatened by trans women? I have seriously wondered about this for ages as I've never seen a list, just the claim

"I personally fought to gut the family court system because my son was a big fan of domestic violence against women, so here's me trying to hide the skeletons in my closet"
Pauline Hanson 🇦🇺@PaulineHansonOz
I’m disgusted at the decision that’s just been handed down by the Federal Court in the Tickle vs Giggle case. It flies in the face of biological reality, and strips rights from women. Women’s spaces are not being protected and are no longer safe. I will back Sall Grover in Parliament. One Nation is the only party which has tried to amend the Sex Discrimination Act to remove identity politics and reflect biological reality. I will continue with this effort to protect women’s rights in Australia.

@AndrewAlle91219 @thiscassgirl Last time I played mixed the young lads played hard not smart. One dude smashed a ball into female umpires face and ambo had to be called for her concussion. Never playing with men again
English
@thiscassgirl Horse shit! Lets take nz netball a non contact sport! Men's b grade shits on womans silver ferns, the A grade men's is a joke! Don't talk out of your ass
English
@aaronsmith @MGrahMcIntosh I’m not sure men should be asserting that protecting sex based rights is a bad thing.
English
@MGrahMcIntosh You should listen to your own colleagues perhaps Melissa?
A liberal party obsessed with culture wars is a liberal party destined for extinction.
English
Our laws should be working for Australian women, not against them.
The Coalition will amend the Sex Discrimination Act.
This is not about removing protections from anyone. That's why it's important we get it right, and I want to work with you on these changes.
English
@Sarah_Alice_X Sorry, buddy. We’re going to have to leave this lovely chat in disagreement.
English
@in_a_knot Weird, off social media it's an entirely different world. LGB without the T has always been a wedge issue to attack wider gay rights and women's rights later.
I think they call people like you useful idiots 🤷🏻♀️
English
@jimmymalecki @hotgoldhush @DrewHutton45645 That isn’t the issue at all. The issue is sex based rights
English
@hotgoldhush @DrewHutton45645 Transphobic people need to reconsider why they are Transphobic. Being transgender is a normal variation of human diversity. Just like having different hair colors or being left-handed, people experience a wide range of gender identities. Do more research.
English
Every party except Labor and the Greens has now agreed to change the federal Sex Discrimination Act to protect women’s-only spaces. If Labor and Greens don’t want to lose large numbers of seats at the 2028 election, change your stupid extremist gender policies now.

"have some class and use your words..."
You're new here, huh?
Don't get 'em@in_a_knot
@Sarah_Alice_X Oh rubbish. You’re abandoning sex based rights, leaving a void there. Of course opportunistic bad actors will attempt to fill that void. Have some class and use your words rather than ad hominem attacks.
English
@Sarah_Alice_X Really? This is an 80/20 issue. The vast majority don’t actually believe TW are women. Many leftist women are old school feminists who believe sex based classification and rights are important. LGB aren’t all aligned with the TQ either
English
@in_a_knot It was never an issue until religious nutters picked it up. Meaning majority of sane people don't have a problem with trans folk.
English
@Sarah_Alice_X Oh rubbish. You’re abandoning sex based rights, leaving a void there. Of course opportunistic bad actors will attempt to fill that void. Have some class and use your words rather than ad hominem attacks.
English
@in_a_knot You: I hope the ultra conservatives don't use this as a way to get a foothold here and erode women's rights
Me: they literally are
You: NO THEY'RE NOT!
Moron.
English
@Sarah_Alice_X How much did they donate to her? You’re making out they funded her whole trial. Regardless, so what? They have no influence here. Grow up.
English
@in_a_knot You're complaining about access to abortion being banned here.
The group who funded her are responsible for that in the US, you absolute pinecone.
English
@Sarah_Alice_X Oh here we go…she received a donation from conservatives? Waaaaaaah
English
@in_a_knot What are you talking about? Sall Grover was funded by ADF International, known for campaigning to restrict abortion access, the other prominent TERFs groups say nothing about reproductive rights for women.
Rowling was silent when Roe was overturned.
That should tell you a lot.
English
@in_a_knot @Karen3267084417 @GyllKing No, lesbians aren't on Grover's side.
And trans and queer people aren't homophobic but terfs are.
English
We should all remember that Sal Grover’s lesbian dating app Giggle used facial recognition technology to screen users and it repeatedly failed to recognise women of colour as female.
English
@blowingtom2 It’ll be a huge mistake for left Australians to think this issue is about bigotry. It’s an 80/20 issue. We cannot allow tribalism to impact sex based rights for the worse. Male commentators better check their privilege. they’re not impacted. The SDA is flawed, that’s apolitical
English
This isn’t about right v wrong. This is about right v far right and who can echo more hate quicker.
English
🧵Tickle v Giggle has bought all the conservatives out in force to attack the Federal Courts decision. The Federal courts job is to interpret and implement the law. It’s not a bench of people making laws on the run. So let’s look at the history and how it came to be ………..
English
@blowingtom2 Sex based rights aren’t “hate” ffs! This is the magafication of Oz in 4D because the left won’t touch flawed legislation. This is a gift to the grifters and conservatives
English
@windupgemma @Karen3267084417 @GyllKing You do realise the L were on Grover’s side in court? You do realise that TQ is homophobic, right? Riiiiiiight?
English
@in_a_knot @Karen3267084417 @GyllKing Leave LGBTQ people alone you homophobic piece of shit.
