Thanks @JemimaTiggywinkles

Guardian have posted Tickle.

Have they seen the light or are they so blind they think that’s helping 🤣

Rymeswithpunt · 23/08/2024 01:25

I didn't even bother reading it, glad I don't pay the license fee

Whatever will they do once all the lesbian dating sites are nothing but other men?

Never used one have you?

Lesbian dating app Her (which glinner signed up for to cause trouble only to be kicked off) allows trans women, has done so from the start and has no plans to change as they are doing very well. They publicly support trans women users and don't tolerate any trolling or stalking of users.

Grindr also permits trans users.

Thanks.
Shitty article by a the GI correspondent.

Rymeswithpunt · 23/08/2024 01:23

Its actually really nasty propaganda. Usually you would def expect a photo of the successful applicant, even if its in the body of the article.
This time nothing, and the heading pic could just about conceivably be construed as a tw making tickle seem more sympathetic than he would if you got a glimpse of him.
More shitty behavior from the beeb.

Out of the loop here. Can someone please sum up super concisely why they are in court in the first place?

Women want a female only app for chatting so Australian woman sets one up. Male person thinks he’s a woman so demands access. Kick-ass Australian woman says no. Court believes men can magically become women so sides with male person.

On this board we hope the kick-ass Australian woman is willing to take the fight to the next stage.

Codlingmoths · 23/08/2024 01:21

So a judge just decreed there is no such thing as female only spaces in Australia. Women’s sports teams, girls schools, they’d all have to accept boys and men?

I hope the appeal highlights this just doesn’t work.

I figure we're being sarcastic.

This has been debated to death in other threads.

In summary AB's main goal was to sue Stonewall (she had huge "I am suing Stonewall!" banners on her twitter at the time). She failed twice, and attempting to do so cost an estimated £1 million in total

The £20k or so awarded after case #1 was for some tweet or something by GCCs which was nothing to do with Stonewall.

yaawn

Possibly odd. More likely propaganda.

seems like winning to me?

Terribly, terribly odd...!

In most places it isn’t that the Supreme Court is where the adults live (else Roe vs Wade wouldn’t have been overturned). The Supreme Court is where judges are not bound by previous cases. They’re only bound by the legislator (eg parliament). If Sall loses at all possible courts, she can still win by convincing the government to change the existing law.

This is a long and difficult road which appears to need women to prove to our governments that reality is a thing. It is crappy and difficult but not impossible. 5 years ago TERF island wasn’t even a thing. Now both major parties accept that women have sex based rights. Children aren’t being given puberty blockers. The general public increasingly understands that transwomen are male. It is depressingly slow but we are making progress.

Trouble is, nothing really lands here in the UK unless it's been on the "proper" news - BBC, C4, Sky, etc - and I worry that it's the same in Australia.

I think the msm is losing ground increasingly quickly (mainly due to stuff like this)

Alison Bailley lost her appeal against Stonewall too, and in a case from 2 days ago a man was sued for false remarks against 2 drag queens having to pay each $100,000 and retract his allegations.

https://manchester.inklink.news/derry-state-rep-settles-lawsuit-with-drag-queens-for-100k-each-retracts-completely-false-remarks/

Whose case is next? Lawrence Fox (who also made allegations against a drag queen)? Glinner? Isn't Maya being investigated too for allegations against a doctor?

lonelywater · 23/08/2024 01:05

presumeably in Aus, as elsewhere, the Supreme Court is where the adults live?
