Trans "Girl" in School Sports Day

[NotYourCisterinAus]

At a school in South Australia. Parents (particularly parents of girls) are not happy about the situation.

The really disturbing thing about this is the legal situation and the policy of the South Australian Department of Education. It will probably peak a few South Australians.

Australia is captured by transactivism, I'm not surprised this happened there. Poor girls.

Hopefully the first signs that people are beginning to wake up to what transactivism is demanding.

It was all done so secretly behind our backs - but sports, including school sports, make the results of transactivists' demands very visible.

That is seriously scary - that the South Australian Education Department backs it as policy... so not just small orgs going beyond their brief as we had for school sports... but actual government policy which schools need to follow.

Wow!

Hope indeed that this is what peaks a lot of Australians - good to see the Dads getting angry

They seem to be a few years behind England on this.

Us English terfs should be bloody proud we’ve pushed back. Let’s hope we can be a template for other countries who are just waking up to the reality of these “inclusive” policies for women.

It’s dreadful but makes the implications of TRA demands very very visible and school sports is a big thing in Australia. Operation Let them Speak plus Operation Let them Compete. Hopefully more people will realise how ludicrous this is.

Good on that dad.

Considering that school sports is often the start of girl’s representational sporting careers, I wonder if this will really start to force discussion about law changes?

@Helleofabore . Nope. Julia Gillard’s federal change of law in the SDA aside, all the state changes to the laws are still so fresh, it will be like Helen Joyce’s opinion on the parents of trans kids, that there will be no walking back for some years. Eg, WA only changed theirs last year. We have it very fresh.

We have to pin our hopes of Sal and her court case. She will (hopefully - one can’t be sure, ffs) force a clarity of the SDA and then it will have to trickle down. I don’t know whether it will be automatic as in the UK or whether it will need to be forced in each state via a court case. But I am not a lawyer. And as I hear so often, it then has to be the right case out of all that might be available.

For the benefit of the nonAustralians, Queensland has only one house in their parliament (no house of Lords type chamber of review) and it is a Liberal government which is quietly of our view. From the AHRC (which intervened in opposition tomSal and CEDAW) https://humanrights.gov.au/about/news/media-releases/concerns-queenslands-pause-hormone-therapies. They are working on it, it seems.

All the other state governments are Labor which is of the inclusive bent and is often beholden to Greens or independents in their Upper Houses who are more than inclusive, they are rabid on the subject.

I am affronted on the subject.

😞

I was hoping something like this would raise the issue enough.

The good thing about the Mail article is that it’s the fathers who are cross and doing something about it. No shouty wimmenz types.

If only, if only there was a case of a father getting upset because his son was upstaged by a girl who said she was a boy. Unfairness would be shouted loud and long. But, I hear … silence.
