“Lesbians should be able to define our own community and should not be redefined, without consent, by government authorities.” BREAKING NEWS: @ActiveLesbians got an op-ed about the AHRC including men as lesbians published at the ABC!!! 🙋‍♀️🙋‍♀️🙋‍♀️ Link 👇

If a government cannot guarantee that males will be banned from women’s prisons then that government is incompetent. It is a super easy policy to implement. It had actually been implanted for around 100 years before gender identity ideology came along.

“This is something that happens all the time with gender ideology. They have done everything in stealth. Everything in darkness. The moment there is light shone on it, they get very angry… They do not like it when there is attention on how nonsense their ideology is.”

Finally, after 3.5 years, I feel like I can emerge from the Giggle v Tickle bubble I have been living in and it feels so good. How am I feeling about it all? So, so, so good. Better than I have ever felt before. Not just relieved but confident. We took facts & the correct construction of the law into the court room. No emotion, no ideology. Just reality. This was the instruction I gave & it was achieved. Activism is for outside a court room. Inside, it’s all about the law. My legal team consisted of some of the best legal minds in the country. Noel Hutley SC is one of the top 3 silks in Australia with over 40 years experience. He knew exactly what he was doing and his brilliant final oral submission will echo in my mind for the rest of my life. Bridie Nolan & @katherine_deves have been with me on this insane rollercoaster every day for 3.5 years. We have lived & breathed this case every second of the day. We have laughed, cried, yelled, sighed, and had hours long Zoom brainstorming sessions while cooking dinner, hanging out washing & raising the 9 daughters we have between us. Everything we do is for those girls. The Sex Discrimination Commissioners interpretation of the law is bonkers. It is gender ideology in legalese. It is an attempt to enshrine a zeitgeist into legislation, while ignoring every group the sex discrimination act exists to protect in favor of one group: men who claim to be women. If they need to create the Men Who Claim To Be Women Act, create it. But women need laws too and the sex discrimination act has to not only include but protect women otherwise there is absolutely no point to it. The executive branch in Australia (aka the SDC) has gone rouge. The legislature is doing nothing about it. That leaves the judiciary. They are the checks & balance. And in that sense, there is every chance right now to establish that the system is working as intended. In the first round, the trial was a circus and the judge was aggressively hostile. An appeal court is very different, and this court room felt very different. It is the second highest court in the land and very dry. Some might say boring. Judges are supposed to ask questions and doing so is absolutely no indication of their thoughts on the issue in front of them. It is them doing their job. They need to understand every aspect of an argument to decide on it. To win, we only need two judges to side with Giggle. While I would love all three, I don’t need to be greedy. Will this go to the high court (the highest court in the country)? Probably. I would definitely take it if need be, and I have no doubt that the other side feels the same. Finally, I do want say: I cannot wait to never talk about him ever again. The fight isn’t over yet, but we’re in the strongest position we have ever been in to win it. Thank you everyone for the overwhelming support. It means the absolute world to me. Together, we have proven that while gender ideology has institutional support, the power of the people want reality. I couldn’t do this without you. gigglecrowdfund.com 🩷
