For opposing the inclusion of men who claim transgender status in women's sports, and for calling men, men, @KirralieS has been 𝗼𝗿𝗱𝗲𝗿𝗲𝗱 𝘁𝗼 𝗽𝗮𝘆 $𝟵𝟱,𝟬𝟬𝟬 𝘁𝗼 𝘁𝘄𝗼 𝘁𝗿𝗮𝗻𝘀-𝗶𝗱𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗳𝗶𝗲𝗱 𝗺𝗮𝗹𝗲𝘀 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗽𝗲𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗶𝗻 𝘄𝗼𝗺𝗲𝗻'𝘀 𝘀𝗼𝗰𝗰𝗲𝗿 - in addition to their court fees.
One of the men, Justin "Riley" Dennis, has 𝗶𝗻𝗷𝘂𝗿𝗲𝗱 𝗳𝗲𝗺𝗮𝗹𝗲 𝗮𝘁𝗵𝗹𝗲𝘁𝗲𝘀 𝗱𝘂𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗺𝗮𝘁𝗰𝗵𝗲𝘀.
Despite this, the team he plays on, 𝘄𝗵𝗶𝗰𝗵 𝗵𝗮𝘀 𝗶𝗻𝗰𝗹𝘂𝗱𝗲𝗱 𝗳𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗼𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿 𝘁𝗿𝗮𝗻𝘀-𝗶𝗱𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗳𝗶𝗲𝗱 𝗺𝗮𝗹𝗲𝘀, was presented with a Fair Play Award.
But in addition to the egregious payout, Kirralie has also been ordered, by the Supreme Court of New South Wales, 𝘁𝗼 𝗽𝗼𝘀𝘁 𝗮𝗰𝗿𝗼𝘀𝘀 𝗮𝗹𝗹 𝗼𝗳 𝗵𝗲𝗿 𝘀𝗼𝗰𝗶𝗮𝗹 𝗺𝗲𝗱𝗶𝗮, 𝗮𝘀 𝗵𝗲𝗿 𝗽𝗶𝗻𝗻𝗲𝗱 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗺𝗼𝘀𝘁 𝘃𝗶𝘀𝗶𝗯𝗹𝗲 𝗽𝗼𝘀𝘁, 𝗮 𝘀𝘁𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝘄𝗿𝗶𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗻 𝗯𝘆 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗰𝗼𝘂𝗿𝘁 𝗮𝗱𝗺𝗶𝘁𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗵𝗲𝗿 𝗴𝘂𝗶𝗹𝘁 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗮𝗹𝗹𝘆 𝗹𝗮𝗯𝗲𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗵𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗲𝗹𝗳 𝗮 𝗯𝗶𝗴𝗼𝘁.
The court ordered the text must remain prominently visible for three months. An attorney for one of the men, Nicholas "Stephanie" Blanch, had demanded the posts remain visible for up to TWO YEARS across all of her social media.
The text of the court-ordered announcement, known as Annexure A, and intended to teach a lesson to anyone who reads her content, is as follows:
---------------
"ANNEXURE A
PUBLISHED BY ORDER OF THE LOCAL COURT OF NSW AS VARIED BY THE SUPREME COURT OF NSW
Following proceedings in the Local Court of NSW (2024/78280) the Local Court of NSW has declared that Kirralie Smith and Binary Australia contravened section 38S of the Anti-Discrimination Act 1997 (NSW) by making and publishing various social media posts between 19 January 2023 and 27 March 2023 and a newsletter dated 19 January 2023 that incited hatred towards, serious contempt for, or severe ridicule of a soccer player on the ground that she is a transgender person.
Public acts that incite hatred towards, serious contempt for, or severe ridicule of, a person or group of persons on the ground that the person or group are transgender are unlawful under the Anti-Discrimination Act 1977 (NSW).
