“The sensational, dazzling, iridescent spectacle is unfolding right before me. I see demonstrators with self-made placards or huge banners on which they’ve written their demands, hopes and dreams, but also their displeasure at politics.”

Tickle v Giggle and the next culture war on gender identity

Why is there suddenly a flurry of attention around gender identity? The Sex Discrimination Act amendments have not altered the fact that discrimination on the ground of sex is unlawful, as is the case with other related grounds, such as marital or relationship status ...

IRGAC on Instagram: "In February 2025 the LGTBIQ+ movement organized a massive demonstration in Argentina, against the libertarian government, the president’s homophobic remarks at Davos and his permanent hate speech. It was the first Anti-fascist, Anti-racist, LGBTIQ+ demonstration and it was huge because it managed to mobilize sectors that had rarely mobilized in protest against Milei. This article analyses what happened that this particular event was able to articulate so many different groups. It propose an explanation for why that movement weakened, giving way to a small demonstration one year later, and how we might regain strength again.

@[email protected] @itgrrl there have been multiple attempts over the last few years to pass legislation to redefine the definition of ‘sex’ in the *Sex Discrimination Act 1984* (Cth) to be a person’s “biological sex” as determined at birth the most recent Bill was the *Sex Discrimination Amendment (Sex-based Rights) Bill 2026*, submitted by Nationals MP Alison Penfold on 25 May APH link: https://www.aph.gov.au/Parliamentary_Business/Bills_Legislation/Bills_Search_Results/Result?bId=r7479 a similar Bill was submitted last year – the *Sex Discrimination Amendment (Restoring Biological Definitions) Bill 2025*, by Liberal Party Senator Alex Antic & National Party Senator Matthew Canavan APH link: https://www.aph.gov.au/Parliamentary_Business/Bills_Legislation/Bills_Search_Results/Result?bId=s1463 the org “Gender Awareness Australia Limited” (🙄) runs a website called “Binary” (🙄) and is one of the main orgs pushing this issue at the moment. they have a campaign running to raise funds (they’re always grifting) to place billboards & TV / web ads and are contacting any politicians who will meet with them – see https://www.binary.org.au/campaigns for all their recent campaigns & https://www.binary.org.au/male-and-female-define-legally for their current campaign to change the legal definitions of sex they have close ties with orgs like the Australian Christian Lobby, who are also running anti-trans campaigns. aside from anti-abortion campaigns, almost all of the ACL’s focus is on anti-LGBTIQA+ issues – see https://www.acl.org.au/take-action/ prominent politicians have made public statements committing to pass similar Bills should their parties gain power, including Liberal Party leader Angus Taylor & One Nation Party leader Pauline Hanson (who has previously introduced a Bill to do just that) recent articles: – **Angus Taylor vows to change laws after trans discrimination ruling** – https://qnews.com.au/angus-taylor-vows-to-change-laws-after-trans-discrimination-ruling/ – **‘Disgusted’: Pauline fumes over trans battle** – https://au.news.yahoo.com/trans-woman-wins-landmark-gender-052137289.html hope that helps – if you decide to sign pls also #boost4reach 🙏

🌈 URGENT CALL TO ACTION 🚨

If you’re part of the Australian LGBTIQA+ community, or a friend or ally, PLEASE sign & share this petition URGENTLY!

Hands Off Our Protections

Equality Australia #petition to MPs

✍️ Sign & share –> https://equalityaustralia.org.au/hands-off-our-protections/

Our #LGBTIQA+ community is facing some of the most serious attacks on our rights and protections in many years.

Right now, we are facing multiple bills that would strip protections from #trans people and erode Australia’s anti-discrimination laws more broadly.

Once again we need to fight for our rights and protections. If the shitshow that’s happening in the US right now is teaching us anything, it’s that legal protections are never completely settled and can be removed or reduced at any time if the people who hate us are able to mobilise and drag us back to the 1950s.

Please sign the Equality Australia petition calling on federal MPs to stand with us – and share it widely with your friends, family, and communities on every platform you can.

I had a random thought. Cuntservative people want us to apologize, bow down and follow THEIR standards and rules. I wondered why. It is because we ALREADY do something they don't have the strength, resolve or composure to do: live honestly and show our dignity.
