Lesbians have a 'human right' to exclude trans women, Federal Court hears
www.abc.net.au
A Victorian-based lesbian group is seeking an exemption to the Sex Discrimination Act so it can legally discriminate against transgender women when it holds public events.

This is so stupid. How would they even enforce it? Are they going to check everyone’s chromosomes at each meeting?

Lots of trans women pass, and lots of cis lesbians can look a bit manly, so I can’t imagine any practical way to enforce it. And a rule without enforcement is pointless.

    “The Victorian-based LAG says it subscribes to the philosophy of lesbian feminism and does not believe humans can change sex.”.

    Nobody’s suggesting people can change their biological sex. But gender is a social construct, separate from sex. That’s why it’s literally called transgender.

        “Sex identity”?

        Intersex people are still male or female. Intersex, now known as “Difference of Sex Disorders”, are conditions that affect males and females, but don’t mean you’re neither or both. There are male affecting DSDs, and female affecting DSDs. There’s not a single person in history who is/was anything other then male or female.
