JS has truly accomplished something and in AUS where MEN can legally be WOMEN! This whole thing is reminiscent of a "Sex Matters" podcast that featured Az Hakeem, a London-based, GC psychiatrist and friend of TERFs who was one of the few GC therapists in the UK and who popularized the phrase: "I won't affirm your 'gender identity'." AH was nearly driven out of his profession for presenting data that proved the autism/trans correlation and his subsequent assertion that transmedicalism was 💩 that only benefitted the trans industry--that patients were not getting better. Both of these people, and others like them, are finally being vindicated. For that, let's pop some bottles🍾🍾!
The adjective "brave" has been hijacked by people who have no business embracing it; they aren't qualified and they turned it into a benign, flippant cope. I want that word back.
I used to live in Brisbane. It's a beautiful little city.
But Australia (like Canada and other members of the British Commonwealth) is, by American standards, an odd mixture of political liberalism and social conservatism. That's how a fake "liberal" political lobby like the gender lobby has gotten so deeply entrenched so quickly in an unshakeable conservative mentality among their political leaders.
The Australian people were, of course, not consulted.
America's political system of checks and balances, plus states' rights vs federal oversight, gives us tools to fight our way out of it. But none of the British Commonwealth nations have the same kind of checks and balances, so the fight there is much harder.
Congratulations to Jillian for winning that terrible fight!
In the end, the British Commonwealth will follow where America and the British monarchy lead.
The hospital’s statement wasn’t that strong imo. Like, it was clear they only made it because the settlement forced them to and not because they actually wanted to.
But otherwise, I’m glad she was able to reach a settlement and hopefully is able to find another job.

The statement by the Queensland Hospital is very important in the context of Australia.
Dr Spencer is in the Terven Hall of Fame!
