I support Kath Deves entirely but I cannot vote for her because I am on the border between Albo’s and Pliberseck’s voter districts. Instead I will waste my vote with the reason written on my voting papers. I am suggesting that all feminists should do this to totally undermine the male parties However, I want to stress that (as often has been the case of feminist politics) the case of Deves again shows that feminism is not a ‘left and right’ political position, because women are half of the human race and do not find their sex in so-called ‘gender identities’ and certainly not in what they are for males, ie. their other half (with no minds of our own!).
NB. Australian law is state by state.
There is federal Sex Discrimination law.
Agree Mia. Just sent this to Claire Chandler’s email address:
Dear Ms Chandler –
With you & Kath Deves 100% on your continued advocacy for females only in Women’s Sports.
HOWEVER, this is NOT a party political issue – and it is nauseating and COUNTERPRODUCTIVE to see you trying to turn this to party political advantage.
So I read your posts and go Yes yes – then realise that you are totally using this issue as a stalking horse to attack Labor & tell everyone why they should vote for the Liberal Party.
So please stick to the issue (!) & stop acting as an apologist for a Party & politicians who have demonstrated time and time again that they care no more about Women’s Rights than the other mob.
It will only be women and men acting ACROSS the political spectrum that defeats these pernicious ‘trans rights’ extremists – because they are getting into political ears across the political spectrum.
Yours sincerely,
Margot,
I think the erosion of women’s and girls sex-based ‘protected’ human rights to safety, privacy, dignity, fairness, boundaries & bodily autonomy – by allowing ‘intact’ men (who pretend to be women) to demand & achieve entry into women’s/girls safe spaces – is indeed a political matter. Women & girls are currently ‘sharing’ their hospital rooms, prison cells, sports, open showers and change rooms, refuges, shelters, girl guide overnight accommodation, college bedrooms, school toilets, rape crisis centres, gyms, spas, saunas etc. with any ‘intact’ man or boy who says he is s woman/girl. Women/girls have already been raped in their shared hospital rooms, prisons, shelters, school toilets by such men and boys. Now do think this isn’t a political problem – for all women and all girls?
Totally agree Anne ! What I said is that it is not a PARTY political matter ie. ensuring Women’s sex based rights will not be solved by voting in (or voting out) any of the existing political parties (in any country that I know of anyway).
(Have a re-read if my letter to Chandler)
