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.

    “Sticks and stones may break my bones but words can never hurt me”

    Sorry but words are not violence, and words do not cause physical harm. You can be offended by words, but that doesn’t mean the words are offensive.

    There are so many cases of trans women litigating and carrying on relentlessly about not being welcomed in to women-only places, that you suggesting it doesn’t happen is crazy. I’m sure you know about the tickle vs giggle case that’s been going through the courts for almost 4 years now, don’t you?

    Also do you not see the hypocrisy of saying women need to suck it up and be scared/uncomfortable because of having males in female-only spaces, while also screaming about how scared and uncomfortable and fragile trans people are and how that means they should be able to use opposite sex spaces? I’m sure you don’t tbh.

    “Men are so dangerous and violent, trans women aren’t safe in men’s spaces”

    Your solution: allow males in females spaces lol

    Leopards don’t change their spots. Gender isn’t what makes a man infinitely more dangerous than a woman, sex is.

    Do I need to remind you about the percentage of trans women in prison who are there for sexual assault offences? Or how seemingly every time a trans woman is put in a women’s jail they end up raping someone?

      The reality of the situation is this doesn’t affect anybody who you count as friend or family so you just don’t care. You project what you think is the norm but you don’t know because it’s not your monkey not your circus isn’t it? You don’t care where this leads because nobody you care about will die from it and when the trans people disappear from the world around you you’ll be unaware or worse celebrate.

      I think I know when someone is a lost cause until something changes. Perhaps one day it will be someone you care about and then you’ll have the insights you need. Until then.
