It's strange how when someone adopts one right wing position, they tend to turn their back on all their previous political positions and fall into line with their new ideology
Is this really acceptable, on any level, from a City of Melbourne councillor? Rohan Leppert should clarify whether the trans flag makes him feel sick too.

I mean the motion said all books about same-sex parents. If Labor doesn't expel or suspend, then it will be authorising explicit and probably unlawful discrimination.
Here's are some comments from people running Mardi Gras about Lydia Thorpe including the current board co-chair and at least one former board member. Some are agitating for her, a staunch Indigenous rights activist, to be given the first life time ban in the parade's history
See here the likes of the program's producer Richard Vadon. Trans people should never talk to the BBC or ever trust it to report fairly. RT/Press TV level credibility on trans issues.

Worth listening to as a typically clear and comprehensive explanation over a dispute about statistics, something this show is brilliant at doing. Those claiming the Cass review excluded 98% of evidence or inisted on double blind studies are... lying.

There's nothing antisemitic about calling for a single, secular Palestine in the whole of historic Palestine where Jews, Arabs and others can live together. This is a radical idea for sure, but it's completely consistent with peaceful aims and equality between people.
In what should be a surprise to no one, it looks like the

Usual anti-queer, anti-feminist reasons.
They're downvoting on the Big W website - people should head there and give positive reviews:
These comments are from long term participants and leaders in Mardi Gras. Adding to the pile on against Lydia and suggestions of police action and bans shows how the majority of the MG board is about as politically attune to Indigenous solidarity as a Liberal party branch meeting

Amazing how these people who actually play the sport have other things to worry about than "biological reality". Things like friendship, inclusion and being fit in older age. Tories really hate to see people happy and living their lives.
@RachaelWongAus
This was never meant to be a cis women-only service, it was always there to include trans women. It's in St Kilda, a place with a long history of trans women living and working in the local area who need these services

You don't represent me and most gays; most lesbian and gay people stand with them. Don't flatter yourself thinking you represent more than a tiny part of the gay community.
Lets not forget there was a mobilisation of 1000 - 1500 of right wing religious extremists in Sydney against LGBT rights.
The fact the right was able to do this, bussing people from across churches in Sydney and thoroughly outnumbering is, needs our fullest attention.
Red baiting is so tiresome and petty. Some people sell merch online, others at rallies. How dare socialists build rallies and sell merch to cover costs.
This is a classic sell out statement, Stonewall has badly failed the pressure test.
Gay assimilationist lobbying has served trans people very bad in Britain.
The Cass Review, an independent review of gender care services for children and young people, has been published today after almost four years. We know that elements of the review and how it is covered in the news may cause concern for trans children and young people and their
@OwenJones84
They genuinely don't care. And it's horrible what they're doing to young trans kids, but also worth considering that they're retraumatising older trans people too. Many who've had their long established rights called into question.

We're not asking for heterosexual people consent to LGBT sexuality actually
You're saying leathermen AIDS survivors can't proudly march in assless chaps after decades of doing so
Please read a book on gay history
Interesting to see what TERFs close to the Vic Greens have to say about the Linda Gale statement. Seems they're urging restraint from their own side. I wonder if that statement was an example of tactical restraint? To me this looks like them playing a long game.
@Finn_Mackay
So much of the backlash is a reaction to trans people refusing to live in the shadows, and especially the embrace of trans identities by so many young people. These stunts have an expiry date, you can't put liberation back in the bottle.

The police gave them mulitiple opportunities to let them leave peacefully. They refused because they didn't get their demands met. What should the police do? Be dictated to by people already breaking the law?

Isn't this a devolved matter? To override Scottish autonomy would prove that devolved powers are pretty weak and not a substitute for genuine independence. Proving the point of independence activists.

They never want to talk about all the cis male prison guards in women's prisons or the fact most bathroom related predatory behaviour happens in domestic residences where cis men share spaces with cis women
No, obsess about a tiny part of the population instead.

This is a lie. Lily Cade is referenced in your report 'Lesbians at Ground Zero' survey referenced in the BBC article. That's *why* the BBC article included her.

It's not the university it's the student union. They're not training students to be sex workers, they're providing training to students who are doing sex work to be fully informed and aware of their rights and access to services?

The "Australian Jewish Association" is the grandiose and intentionally misleading name of a recently founded front organisation for one Jewish guy with a desk.
@chrisprimod
Yep it's an updated version of the sex-ed curricula that's been taught for decades and not dissimilar to Dolly Doctor. This isn't available to kids; it's in the Big W parenting section. And it's intended for teens aged 12 to 15 year olds.

@NSWLabor
spoke to a contingent of anti-trans extremists at NSW Parliament today and said there will be “a reckoning” on trans lives. He said there “is no choice” and that we must “resist” trans acceptance. “You can’t stand by and allow this to continue”.
White Rose calls people clout chasers for exposing their doxxers. People like Clem Ford who has used their large platform to bolster Palestine solidarity. White Rose is doing free work for a renewed Zionist and cop witch hunt against victims of doxxing and abuse.
The recent publication of the details of Jewish community members who were present in leaked chat logs is a cause for reflection on the importance of due diligence when releasing data publicly.

This is nitpicking. Terfs have a lot to say about trans women in women's prisons and almost nothing about the male prison guards.

Don't adults talk about their spouses, didn't you complain about them not celebrating international lesbian day? If you think mentioning non-heterosexual things is "adult", that's classic homophobia.

Imagine being a leatherman who lived through AIDs, Anita Bryant, bar raids, only to be told by 16y.o tenderqueers that you're a threat to families with kids.
The cruelest irony is the leatherman paved the way so tenderqueers could reclaim pride for the nuclear family.
@LGBTLabour
Her allegations were baseless. Trans people don't just face horrendous abuse, the current party in power is using them as a wedge issue for cynical campaigning. Trans people aren't even supported by large sections kf the Labour party. A real let down of a statement.
