Biological sex is not a static reality. Scholars have spent decades pointing out how assuming a sex binary is not only wrong but also unethical as it erases the lives of those who are embodied differently. Courts should not give effect to โ€œcommon senseโ€ when such sense is unethical and unscientific.

The protest was to challenge a court judgement that had ruled trans women were men, and propelled legal recognition of sex & gender affirmation. Weโ€™re now fighting to maintain and extend those rights

If you wanna show solidarity, follow & support the @transjusticeau.bsky.social

Itโ€™s trans day of visibility. We are perhaps more visible than ever before - including in the crosshairs of reaction. Inspired always by the past, hereโ€™s an image from Australiaโ€™s first ever know. public trans political protest in 1982
