Feminists in the UK seem to have an enormous amount of momentum in the UK - the wins keep coming. Here in Australia, things are moving very slowly. However, the Giggle v Tickle appeal is coming up on 4-7th August before a Federal Court panel. It will be livestreamed.

I will add the link below if anyone is up for some gardening it is much needed.

I am not close to the case, but there are some pleasing updates - the Lesbian Action Group has been given permission to intervene, and they have a very clever and well-versed in feminism legal team of Megan Blake and Leigh Howard. I wasn't particularly impressed with the legal arguments put forward in court in the first round, but there is a new SC (like a KC) on the team - don't know of him except he does work for the richest woman in Australia, so hopefully he knows how to make a good case too.

In other developments, Jillian Spencer, a psychiatrist in Queensland who was suspended for criticising pediatric gender medicine at her hospital is bringing several lawsuits, including discrimination on the grounds of belief. She is probably an excellent claimant for lawfare. And a convicted murderer in NSW applied to be moved from a male to a female prison, but the NSW government seems to be ruling that out despite having just brought in self-id and having allowed it before (maybe the sexual assault allegations that occurred previously would be more damaging if repeated in the current climate). It may have opened some eyes though.

I really had to search for the story on multiple news sites here, and I knew what search terms to look for.

Another example of MSM hiding what doesn’t fit their narrative, and of pretzelising reality.

Vast numbers of the population here have no idea about GI, as all the media have simply refused to cover anything that wasn’t affirmation, stunning and brave…

We have exactly the same problem in Ireland - there's some sort of tacit agreement between the media and the mainstream politicians that they won't discuss or refer to the negative issues arising from creating laws that allow gender identity to trump biological sex in this country. It's extremely frustrating and also alienating for large numbers of people who have to go elsewhere for their information.

Even worse is that many people just read what's in front of them and won't have a clue about this.
