Banning swimmers who are trans is discrimination. None of the research on this has been done on elite athletes. FINA have made this decision bc of the misogynistic hate campaign directed at Lia Thomas by the anti-trans lobby. Her career has been ruined by this decision.

I feel like people don't understand how scary it is to have literal Nazis threatening to 'destroy' you. I have to take precautions like hiding my address because I know that being a trans person in the public eye is dangerous. I envy how easy you find it to dismiss these people.

I find this so instructive because one of the theories i have heard about why TERFism took off in the UK is because they didn’t really have a post-colonial movement in feminism in the same way that Australia did. I don’t know for sure if this is true but maybe?

Banning trans women from sport is discriminatory and not grounded in research. This is a political decision, rather than a considered move to ensure fairness. If people are truly concerned about women’s sport I suggest that they actually watch it, cuz most of you don’t.

Many of my friends and I have faced a barrage of hate ever since Posie Parkers tour started. We have received death threats, been accused of being paedophiles, and been subject to foul anti-trans slurs - just because we are trans. It's a tour of hate.

I am working on a piece on the image-based harassment of trans people - this is a key example. Terfs dig through your social media, find old photos, dig up your dead name, and publish it all online along with private medical information. It is wildly abusive and commonplace.
This person is trolling and vilifying my child. That’s who these people are. They’re not feminists, they’re fascists.

One benefit of the KJK tour is that TERFs are piling abuse on anyone that supports trans ppl and so lots of allies are getting a glimpse of just how extreme their anti-trans hatred and prejudice is.

An anti-trans speaker at an event on the weekend said it was a 'shame' that an older trans woman 'didn't die on the operating table' when accessing gender affirming surgery. This is anti-trans hate pure and simple.

The links between the far-right and KJK are well known. KJK and the event organisers did not ask police to seperate them from the nazis. Instead many posed and took photos with them. KJK uses known ‘dog whistles’ like ‘troon’ which is a far-right slur for trans people.

Wow - the journalists working on this report found it basically impossible to find trans people to talk to because of how loaded their inquiries were and now they made such a mess of the piece that the promo has been pulled.
Channel Seven have deleted their promotional video for tonight's episode of 'Spotlight' that looks into people who regret transitioning gender.
The video featured images of Grace Hyland who questioned why her image was used in the promo.

Now that the TERFs political strategy with the LNP has blown up my guess would be that they will turn to the Greens. They will attempt to expand their base and split the progressive movement. Over the next 3 years it is vital that they are denied a stronghold within the party.

Here's my point - mainly for allies. TERFism is a hate movement that aims to eliminate trans and gender diverse ppl. They do not engage w/ evidenced debate & instead rely on hate, intimidation, and lies. This is the movement that people like Katherine Deves want to bring here.
