the general vibe of this seems to be as of a good news story

but i as usual clearly see & declare the glass half empty, not full

the Gaia virus species, humans, has already created the raging & escalating climate crisis, whose symptoms are not solely atmospheric heating, but also ocean heating... dramatically so. thus the bulk seawater #enthalpy is already much higher now than it was say 42 years ago. any plan to start adding additional heat energy directly to the oceans, as this plan entails, is merely compounding the existing problem... infinitesimally maybe for a single datacentre, but the arseholic techbros, oligarchs, & their puppet govts seem hellbent on squillions of new d/c all over the rock. be they atmospheric, or submerged, they all contribute further to climate crisis

the solution is obvious... repudiate this bullshit scourge of gen-ai shitfuckery, then channel all that ingenuity, money, & enterprise into urgently arresting the crisis

Fuck Generative AI, coz:

By his mid-thirties Morris was desperate: somehow he must transition, or die. It would be nearly twenty years, and after much medication, before that was completed.👍✅💯

exactly!!! -- "transition, or die". that is indeed the peak of the existential crisis, & the agony is just immense. after decades of massive confusion & severe angst, my own explosive steam burst happened in 2002, at 42 [ha!], & my transition happened 2004-2006. tis just godawful going thru this shit, rather than being born right to begin with. unbeknownst to me back then ofc was the new hell that awaited in my future, when the world went magamoronic & the very existence of peeps like me somehow became a political statement, & thus a target. ffs. 🙄🤦‍♀️🥺

https://www.thesaturdaypaper.com.au/comment/law-crime/2026/06/06/tickle-v-giggle-and-next-culture-war-gender-identity

The recent Federal Court decision to award Roxanne Tickle damages in her case against the Giggle for Girls app inspired a promise from Opposition Leader Angus Taylor to change the federal Sex Discrimination Act (SDA). He no doubt hoped to see support for the private member’s bill introduced last week by National Party MP Alison Penfold, in which she proposed to repeal the reference to gender identity in the SDA. Only one person backed the bill, causing it to lapse – meeting the same fate as one introduced by Pauline Hanson in 2024, and another from Coalition senators Matt Canavan and Alex Antic last year. Why is there suddenly a flurry of attention around gender identity?

In 2013, the Gillard government repealed the definitions of man and woman in the SDA, in line with contemporary thinking, and included the grounds of gender identity, intersex and sexual orientation. The amendments acknowledged that gender is now recognised as a social and cultural construct that may be self-defined rather than biologically determined. For clarity, the SDA defines gender identity as “the gender-related identity, appearance or mannerisms or other gender-related characteristics of a person (whether by way of medical intervention or not) with or without regard to the person’s designated sex at birth”.

The SDA 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, pregnancy and potential pregnancy, breastfeeding and family responsibilities.

There had been no furore over the meaning of gender identity for more than a decade after the amendments. In 2024, Tickle v Giggle was the first case to consider the new provisions. Roxanne Tickle, a transgender woman, alleged discrimination on the ground of gender identity in the provision of goods and services under the SDA. Tickle had undergone sexual reassignment surgery and her status as a woman had been formally recognised by the issue of an updated birth certificate under the Queensland Births, Deaths and Marriage Registration Act.

Giggle for Girls was an app devised by Sall Grover to help women connect and communicate with other women online. Registration involved the inclusion of a selfie so that Grover, assisted by AI, could determine whether an applicant was deemed male, in which case they would be excluded. Tickle was initially admitted to the Giggle app but was subsequently blocked when Grover looked at her photo and claimed she saw a “male person”. Tickle’s attempts to contact Grover were unsuccessful and she proceeded to lodge a complaint of discrimination on the basis of gender identity with the Australian Human Rights Commission.

After a futile attempt at conciliation, the commission terminated the complaint and Tickle proceeded to the Federal Court. Justice Robert Bromwich accepted that Tickle was a transgender woman and found she had been indirectly discriminated against – indirectly, as it was not established that Grover was aware of Tickle’s gender identity at the time of that action. The argument by the founder’s lawyers that the app was a special measure designed to achieve substantive equality between men and women was rejected as discriminatory against trans women. The judge awarded Tickle general damages of $10,000 and costs.

Giggle appealed the decision and Tickle cross-appealed in an attempt to establish direct discrimination. Justices Melissa Perry, Wendy Abraham and Geoffrey Kennett of the full Federal Court unanimously upheld Bromwich’s decision in favour of Tickle and were unanimous that Tickle had been directly discriminated against on the basis of her gender identity.

Direct discrimination is a straightforward concept, requiring simply that it be established a person has been treated less favourably than another in the same or similar circumstances on a proscribed ground. In this case, Tickle has been treated less favourably than a woman born female, on the basis of her gender identity. Indirect discrimination was discounted unanimously by the judges of the full bench, as the app founder’s awareness of Tickle’s transgender status was irrelevant, since she had been blocked.

In addition to the finding of direct discrimination, the appeal court increased the damages award to $20,000. This included $12,000 for general damages and $8000 for aggravated damages, as Grover had laughed derisively during the hearing at an offensive caricature of Tickle. In addition, Giggle was ordered to pay both Tickle’s costs of the appeal and the cross-appeal, subject to specified limits.

Giggle has signalled its intention to appeal to the High Court. While leave to appeal is not automatic, it would almost certainly be granted, as the case is socially significant. The court has not heard a single appeal under the SDA in 40 years, although it has heard three sex discrimination cases arising from state legislation, beginning with Deborah Wardley’s notorious struggle with Ansett Airlines to allow women to become pilots, and subsequent victory, in 1980.

While the High Court may have had little experience in addressing questions of gender, the appeal would not require a sophisticated knowledge of the psychosocial issues relating to trans or gender identity matters. Statutory construction is the judges’ forte, so a focus on the wording of the SDA would not prove unduly difficult for them, as it was not for the four Federal Court judges who have already deliberated on the case.

Would events elsewhere in the world be more encouraging to Angus Taylor than those in the Australian courts?

United States President Donald Trump issued an executive order immediately on assuming office in 2025 rejecting transgender rights – are these initiatives the model that the Australian people want to emulate?

Last year, the United Kingdom’s Supreme Court affirmed the meaning of sex under the UK Equality Act 2010 in conventional binary terms. The court, in For Women Scotland Ltd v The Scottish Ministers, favoured an interpretation of sex that accorded with the Australian position prior to the 2013 amendments. The Scottish Ministers had unsuccessfully contended that transgender women with gender recognition certificates were women for the purposes of the Equality Act. The UK requirement of a certificate is more rigorous than the Australian situation. As the UK Equality Act does not include gender identity, the Supreme Court had to rely on the certificated meaning in a separate piece of legislation, the Gender Recognition Act 2004. Furthermore, both man and woman are expressly defined in the UK Equality Act according to the conventional biological binary. Although the Equality Act was enacted after the Gender Recognition Act, it was not amended to take account of the change.

The UK Supreme Court’s narrower view as expressed in For Women Scotland Ltd affords Angus Taylor cold comfort, however. That result was based on statutory interpretation, as was the case in Australia. Furthermore, Australian courts have been departing from the English position on transgender issues for more than 30 years, in cases that have arisen in criminal law, social security, anti-discrimination law and family law. In these instances, Australian judges have recognised the rights of transgender people, particularly transgender women.

i don't know anything about this self-described comedian; i'd never heard of her before reading this article [but if she did as alleged here, then she is simply nasty]. my take is tangential. the writer cites gervais & carr, & seems to laud them. well, pls permit me to vehemently disagree. the identical criticism Tarla Lambert-Patel makes about Lisa Jane Spencer, totes pertains to the revolting gervais & carr, only their target was different. in their case, peeps like me are their target [ditto with dave chappelle]; gratuitous vile tacky trans jokes, whose purpose is to mock & demonise us. so maybe, Tarla, do your research better before you trot out false idols to make your case.

nope, i just ain't having it, peter!

Many of the supporters of One Nation are hardworking, decent Australians who are disillusioned with the major political parties and are worried about the uncertainties facing their families’ financial future, the high cost of living and the impact of AI on their jobs. At the core of their concerns is a deep-seated worry that Australia is heading in the wrong direction and they are not being listened to or included in the nation’s journey.that's as maybe, but their choice now apparently to favour a party of hate & bigotry denotes them also as haters & bigots. pls don't try to bullshit those of us still with neurons & morality.

ofc they can & should be pissed off bigly with the old parties, but the answer is never One Notion, it's the Greens & ProgIndies. these voters can & should be turning their votes there. that they don't, is unforgivable & shameful, & they'll never have my compassion for acting so arseholeristically.

all the horrible rwnj christofascist lies about "transwomen being a danger to cis women"...

HOW? 🤨

pls explain to me exactly what you mean by that

it seems bloody obvious to me that these incessant lies would never gain any traction amongst vanilla great unwashed, if they simply understood what "transwoman" actually means, & entails... philosophically, attitudinally, existentially, pharmacologically, endocrinologically, surgically

still, i suppose, for them to bother paying attention would require them to lift their eyes from the wretched MAFS, idiotgram, twatter et al tripe

so, no hope then, alas

we're fucked by actual evil, which is aided by indolent intellectual laziness & ignorance

this stuff just bores me rigid, & i want nothing at all to do with it

https://www.greenleft.org.au/2026/1454/culture/transgender-marxism-challenges-capitalisms-rigid-gender-binaries

my facts are very simple; 66 years ago i was born, wrong, & 40+ years of confusion & tormented inner turmoil ensued. 22 years ago i began all the steps to correct, as much as is medically & surgically possible, that grievous error, & 20 years ago i finished. i did not do it to be political, i did not do it for a statement. i did it to finally find & be me. nothing more complicated than that. do left-handers have to have political manifestos, do redheads, do those with green eyes? just fuck off with all your puerile politics, your idiot religions, your evil capitalism, & leave peeps like me alone.
