The stranglehold of GI in Australia - finally an article/opinion in a major newspaper that sets it out

It's because about 1/100th of the population even knows it's happening.
I've had conversations where I mention that something has happened and people say "oh but that's not happening here". They are truly shocked when I point out a changed law that happened ever so quietly.
It's true that it's not happening - it's already happened. The Denton's document has been followed perfectly. Many government departments are run by prominent trans activists, eg the head of the Victorian Equal Opportunity and Human Rights Commission is they/them Ro Allen.
Our public broadcasters are completely captured and don't report anything but positive stories. (Some prominent ABC personalities have trans children).
Children's gender clinics refusing to acknowledge the latest research are run in major public hospitals. The affirmation only model ("anti conversion therapy") is law in several states.
We had a referendum about same sex marriage, but it's not even reported that a judge ruled that sex doesn't exist (not in those words, but that's the end result see :Tickle v Giggle).
People internationally know more about what's happening in Australia than Australians do. I give you Genevieve Gluck's article. The photos have been removed (due to copyright, lol, not reputational damage of the persons posting to their public profiles), but they were very nsfw and frankly disturbing.

There is a widespread belief that Australians are too sensible to accept that people can change sex at whim. I think that's true, actually, but Australians are also, on average, more interested in going to the beach than in politics, so it's easy to pass laws that hardly anyone knows about.

I could be wrong: my guess is because sexism and misogyny have oak tree-sized roots in Australia. The real fun in transactivism is the highly virtuous ticket it hands out enabling the trashing of women.It's a movement that a) requires very little action because it involves a tiny minority, b) requires no personal changes from almost anyone because see previous, c) provides the slickest excuse against feminism which was on the verge of requiring precisely that.It it's purpose wasn't antifeminism, transmen would be more than a sudden afterthought for "balance."

Its good, unfortunately though it is Des Houghton, an ultra ultra conservative, in a Murdoch paper in a state that has no alternative to Murdoch press. I will cheer when its in The Age (fat chance!) or Sydney Morning Herald. I know I'm being pessimistic, but its like praising Rita Panahi for writing an article in The Herald-Sun - a major newspaper.

Yeah, I know we have to take what we can get, but as a politically progressive (who lives in Qld) I find it incredibly demoralising the more conservatives talk about it - precisely because it feel it is re-confirming in people's minds that its a 'conservative issue'.

Hope this isn’t a derail but I find this fascinating since in general Australia has always seemed more small-c conservative to me (I’m watching from the UK). Eg with immigration etc. So how is it that this particular ideology has flourished seemingly without opposition?

@SeethingHarpie It’s taken repeated examples on here for me to learn. Go to archive.md and paste in the link you want to archive. First though paste it in lower on the page where you can check if it’s already been archived. The article you linked had already been archived. Once you have your archived version go to the share button just above the article and choose which link you want to copy. I chose the short link. There’s a longer version and about two others.

Sadly that article will be dismissed as right wing, especially with him mentioning Putin in the same breath, and Dutton becoming PM.
