The ABC sacked our colleague because of her political opinion and to appease a lobby group, the court found. And they spent more than $1 million on ridiculous defences including the she was never sacked and there is no such thing as a Lebanese race. Time for the ABC to rethink how it treats staff.
The ABC (my employer) needs to stop defending this case against Lattouf and settle - including an apology and reinstatement. They should not have taken her off air in such a manner. Her colleagues stand with her.

If all cis allies knew just three things about us I’d want them to be:
- cis and trans people can and do change our biological sex through medical means all the time
- you’ve met plenty of trans people that you haven’t realised are trans
- the war against trans rights isn’t the end game, it’s step 1

On May 10, 1933, Nazis burned the library of The Institute for Sexual Science.
The Institute was founded by Dr. Magnus Hirschfeld. Its community clinic pioneered healthcare for queer, trans, & intersex people.
The Institute was targeted & attacked as part of a Nazi government censorship program.

Three years ago, Judith Butler predicted in a Guardian interview that “gender-critical” feminists would not be part of the fight against fascism. This caused a massive “GC” backlash, prompting The Guardian to censor the interview. And yet here they now are, definitively proving Butler correct.

It doesn’t matter how many laws you make - it doesn’t change the fact that trans people exist and always have.

Donald Trump has just released a national under 18 trans care ban executive order. I am working through specifically how it tries to do this, and will live tweet here section by section as I read through it.
It is not yet on the website, but has been released via press release.

Trans youth are already among Australia’s most marginalised people. The social media ban could make this worse
Young trans people in Australia have much higher rates of suicide, mental health struggles and anxiety disorders – but many find refuge in social media.
