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.

    I mean if they’re allowed to exclude men on the basis of sex then I don’t see why not. What’s to stop them from rebranding themselves from a lesbian group to a cis woman lesbian group.

      The group is for Lesbians, fullstop. “Cis”, “trans”, “non binary” - none of that matters. What matters is your sexual orientation, which is based on biological sex. Only females can be lesbians by the very definition of lesbian.

          What a strange thing to say in an online discussion forum.

          The one who wants a group for same sex attracted women to only be made up of biological women.

              Why am I so hung up on sex being important for sex-based things? I would think that’s pretty obvious.

              Should a gynaecologist be forced to inspect and test my penis to see if I have cervical cancer?
