Self ID comes to Queensland

Attorney General to make "female" available for any man.

Chief handmaiden in Queensland, the Attorney General is about to destroy women’s rights in Queensland, well officially, trans activism has already removed our rights to define ourselves by sex without harassment, but this is the next step.

Thank you Emily for sharing your story. This week I’ll be introducing changes to the Births, Deaths and Marriages Act. This is about making sure that a person’s legal identity can match their lived identity.

The Queensland government have refused to consult with women on this and we have been actively and publicly harassed with misogynistic reporting calling us “bitches”. We were cancelled from a Brisbane hotel that is owned by a someone who is homophobic and misogynistic to the extreme.

It was in living memory that public bars were single sex in Queensland, and women were not permitted to enter them.  In 1965 when women chained themselves to a public bar in protests.  The Labor member for Sandgate, Harold Dean, argued that women shouldn’t be allowed in public bars in Queensland because “The prestige of womanhood is too high and too valuable and too precious to be destroyed by a vulgarism.”

The prestige of womanhood, the gender of faux respectability, the gender of the absence of vulgarity, the gender of female, will again be protected in Queensland, but as a characteristic men can purchase from the Registry of Births, Deaths and Marriages.  Unfortunately, the prestige of womanhood as an identity will only be protected in men in Queensland, boring old biological women will need to be trained to believe that a declaration can abate male pattern behaviour, just as a vow and cassock once did. 

Laws that are gained by corruption have to be sustained by corruption as this is the beginning of a long fight. Buckle up.

Cheers,

Edie.
