Excellent. Deeply moving and beautifully written.

Thanking you for sharing your deeply personal and painful story. It was difficult to read, although I assume it was even more difficult for you to write. It has really brought it home to me just how heartless, cynical and outrageous Gillard and her male allies betrayal of women really was.

Thanks, Fraser.

Indeed, it disgusts me how heartless and harmful these decisions are by these people who know nothing of the real human struggles out in the wild.

They have so much compassion for wankers in dresses - not even an ounce for the innocent.

I also would like to second what Fraser said ❤️

Dreyfuss et al!

As Australians become more aware of the consequences of being legally required to pretend men are women the pressure will grow. But awareness is only raised for most when real harms are suffered by women because of it.

Harms like you've detailed in your open letter.

Women have to suffer before we are noticed.

I love seeing women speak up.

I hate that it's for this reason and that we have to bare so much of our souls when we do.

But we will get those amendments repealed and we will get sex back into the SDA because of women like you and Sall.

Thank you for speaking up.

Yes, I hope Julia Gillard is very proud of herself. I was expecting to see some journo try to get a statement from her after the Tickle/Giggle verdict. No such luck.

Imagine!

Imagine if anyone cared to report the truth.

Sall was on Andrew Bolt last night, pointing out that if legislators actually did their jobs, they could fix this in like a week.

I hope, by writing an Open Letter, like that other woman did, that someone might actually see it and give a care.

Probably not!

if you are a trans woman there are a few things that you need to understand. First of all is that you are still a man because you can't change your biological sex. It's okay to dress any way you wish and to adopt any superficial, stereotypical attributes of women that you desire. Live your life. No one should care, I certainly don't. However, because women are entitled to be treated fairly and to enjoy privacy from men there are certain things that are prohibited to you and me because we are men. You can't compete against women in most sports because it would be unfair. You can't go into women's private places like restrooms and locker rooms because that would make them feel unsafe. Finally, if you are a criminal you certainly can't be imprisoned with women.

That's it, just like me.

Indeed. They need to stay TF away from women!

Your letter is proof of how absolutely necessary female only space are. How essential it is for us to have the right to assemble, the right to free speech, the right to gather together and care for each other within a female only community. I hope one day the law changes and you will know you, your letter, did something to cause that change. I hope one day your world is a kinder one.

Well said! Well done for writing so openly. These autogynophiles have no understanding of what it is to be a women. Their sexual fantasies are sick and not feminine in the slightest.

Expand full comment

Really, really sick - no woman should EVER have had to be exposed to them.

Thanks for reading and speaking up!

In 2019, I was homeless. At a Woman's shelter where out of 120 beds, over twenty were occupied by men. I went to a resource called Woman's Lunch a nonprofit run by- elite Boston Bramin women. The most important people they serve - The MEN. They're fawned over and flirted with. I saw the term

trans handmaiden for the first time yesterday. It fits.

Omg CM.- what a horror-story.

Unfortunately sometimes the streets are safer because you're not locked in a box with MEN!

I hope you are ok now; though probably scarred for life.

I haven't seen "The Handmaids Tale", but understand the reference: The Aunt Lydia's are the evil ones?

I hope so very much that with voices like yours being raised, and more and more women slowly joining in, we will regain our rights. And, after this nightmarish farce, be aware of how easily our progress can be stolen from us. If we succeed you will know you helped achieved that better world. I hope you never have to suffer at the hands of men, or be betrayed by women, again.

Thanks, Emma. 💜

How quickly the work of our women ancestors was undone; by stealth and brainwashing propaganda. Insidious.

Thanks for speaking up!

I wish good things for you, also.

Wayne and her and now labor with an equally poor policy on the environment ; Greens care zero about women and our sex and our children - may as well vote for Dutton if he gets rid of the poor legislation based on lies
