My thoughts on today’s landmark decision in Tickle v Giggle #transgender #womensrights #trans #tickle
theconversation.com
In Tickle vs Giggle, the court had to consider where gender identity sits in the Sex Discrimination Act. The landmark decision sets up a precedent to protect transgender people nationally.

It seems my analysis of the Tickle v. Giggle case is upsetting a few people… #trans #transgender #HumanRights #womensrights LGBT https://t.co/reQkwqiR5C

For the first time since gender identity was added to the Sex Discrimination Act, it’s being tested in court. At its heart, the case looks at the rights and recognition of transgender people.

Why is it legal to tell lies during the Voice referendum campaign? Excellent piece by my colleague @DrLukeBeck

We can’t change the deep hurt of the past, but as a country, we can come together to support healing. The first step is to write ‘yes’. Yes to believing in the strength of our voices. Yes to being ambitious about the future. Yes to justice. https://t.co/GTKanvdPeM

Excellent article @ProfPaulaGerber Australia should be helping LGBTQ+ refugees. Their plight is terrible. The future is dark for those in Kakuma and Uganda.

As we near the end of #PRIDEMONTH lets, spare a thought for the #LGBTIQ+ people in Uganda fleeing persecution. Australia needs to open its door to these most vulnerable & marginalised #refugees
