Preface of summary of the last day of Tickle Vs Giggle
Before presenting the detailed summary, which requires cross-referencing tweets and consulting notes to ensure accuracy, I will first provide essential background and key concepts highlighted in the tweets:

1. The key points of the Sex Discrimination Act 1984
The Act protects people from unfair treatment on the basis of their sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, intersex status, marital or relationship status, pregnancy and breastfeeding. It also protects workers with family responsibilities and makes sexual harassment against the law.

8. Terms & Definitions in the Act

sexual orientation means a person’s sexual orientation towards:

(a) persons of the same sex; or
(b) persons of a different sex; or
(c) persons of the same sex and persons of a different sex.

gender identity means the gender‑related identity, appearance or mannerisms or other gender‑related characteristics of a person (whether by way of medical intervention or not), with or without regard to the person’s designated sex at birth.

sex - there is no definiton. There is a distinction made between sex, gender identity and sexual orientation i.e. you can be harrassed on the basis of sex or gender identity or sexual orientation. Sex is mentioned 331 times but since 2013 there no longer is a definition or interpretation.

applicant - Tickle
respondant 1 and 2 - Giggle and Sall Grover respectively

9. CEDAW
On 18 December 1979, the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women was adopted by the United Nations General Assembly. It entered into force as an international treaty on 3 September 1981 after the twentieth country had ratified it. Australia ratified the convention in 1983. By the tenth anniversary of the Convention in 1989, almost one hundred nations have agreed to be bound by its provisions.


(To be noted, neither gender, gender identity, transgender or intersex is in CEDAW)

Part 1: Day 3 April 11

On the previous day, a significant question was raised by Justice Bromwich on how far the development or interpretation of a treaty's meaning could go before it becomes problematic, especially when such developments grant more power to the Commonwealth under the external affairs power. (CEDAW is an example of such a treaty).

Zelie Heger responded to the Judge's question by making four points:

1. Heger emphasised that the concept of "external affairs" within the constitution was not fixed at the time of federation. The notion was expected to evolve over time as demonstrated by various cases such as "Tasmanian Trams" and "Victoria in the Commonwealth, the Industrial Relations Act case".

2. The second point made by the Heger is about the legislative discretion when implementing treaties. Legislation must be "reasonably capable of being considered appropriate and adapted to implementing the treaty," which provides the legislature with a margin of discretion.

3. Thirdly, the Heger discussed the authoritative role of the CEDAW Committee, established by the convention, in issuing recommendations and handling individual communications. This, she argues, provides authoritative guidance for interpreting treaty obligations. She cites the example of the use of an Optional Protocol and that the High Court recognises that.

4. Lastly, Heger references the "always speaking" statute from section 9 of the Sex Discrimination Act, explaining that the interpretation of international obligations should be based on their understanding at the time of the relevant conduct, citing the decision in "Owens v Owens" and others.

1/ 🧵 In light of the recent "Women Will Speak" event, what's amiss is the controversy surrounding the unintended involvement of an individual with Nazi affiliations. After the event the major issue is a lack of an apology from the organizers. An apology is not just necessary but vital. #WomenWillSpeak 2/ I acknowledge the challenging circumstances under which you run an event. They're facing loud counter-protesters, they made a snap decision to use a powerful speaker offered by someone, unaware of his dangerous ideologies. (I'll ignore the fact that it is the job of organisers to plan for that contigency, given the posters put up inviting the noise makers) #EventSafety

In January we sent a letter through to QLD's Childrens Gender Service to remove WPATH & AusPATH guidelines which are based on WPATH. Be clear they use BOTH, SOC8 and AusPATH 1.4

Then early March we forwarded a letter on the WPATH Files - see here:

You would think that a massive medical scandal would get @qldhealth 's attention? They would pause?

Despite the files reporting:

“... members are fully aware that children and adolescents cannot comprehend the lifelong consequences of ‘gender-affirming care’ …”

“In the WPATH Files, members demonstrate a lack of consideration for long-term patient outcomes despite being aware of the debilitating and potentially fatal side effects of cross-sex hormones and other treatments.”

Nope - "The external service evaluation is led by Associate Professor John Allan, Executive Director of Clinical Excellence Queensland’s Mental Health Alcohol and Other Drugs Branch, and will examine the QCGS’s current model of service delivery against the Australian Standards of Care and Treatment Guidelines for trans and gender diverse children and adolescents (Version 1.4). The evaluation will also consider international practice relevant to Queensland services."

QLD Gender Clinic are going after Dr Jillian Spencer, ONE of the things they complained about was a polite inquiry of whether it was usual for the gender clinic to prescribe cross-sex hormones to 14-year-olds, because post-pubertal boys are likely to be infertile after one year of oestrogen. 🤯

So this is our third letter, I'm not so polite, it is up to MPs and Senators to call QLD's health into line - and quit their engagement in the biggest medical scandal of our time

#FridayFAQ #StealthGenderTransition #Schools

Do schools in Victoria State, Australia need to inform parents when they affirm a child's transgender identity?

NO! In Victoria, parental consent, knowledge or involvement can be ignored if the Principal believes the parents will not consent to their child’s new ‘gender identity’ and the schools therefore can determine that the children may be “mature minors” for the purposes of transitioning with the support of controversial gender clinics like the Royal Children’s Hospital in Melbourne who perform the medical and surgical transitioning.

i.e., “If a student is considered a mature minor, they can make decisions for themselves without parental consent and should be affirmed in their gender identity at school without a family representative/carer participating in formulating the school management plan.” ()

Is there an minimal age restriction?
No.

Where is the harm? Of a school gender or social transitioning the child? Parents do you know?

Physical and Medical Risks and Harms

"What is becoming very clear is that the real “harm” being done to these students is medical transition, which almost always is preceded by social transitioning.

Binding
Negative health effects from chest binding that may not show for years[ii].

97.2% of respondents reported at least one negative outcome from binding.  The most common symptoms were: 1. back pain (53.8%), 2. overheating (53.3%), 3. chest pain (48.8%), 4. shortness of breath ((46.6%), 5. itching (44.9%), 6. bad posture (40.3%), 7. shoulder pain (38.9)

Additional symptoms include; rib fractures, rib or spine changes, shoulder joint “popping”, muscle, wasting, numbness, headache, fatigue, weakness, light-headedness/dizziness, cough, respiratory infections, heartburn, abdominal pain, digestive issues, breast changes, breast tenderness, scarring, swelling, acne, skin changes, skin infections.

Tucking
There are case studies of both infertility and testicular torsion[iv] occurring from tucking.

Itching, rash, testicular pain, penile pain, and skin infections.
​
Puberty Blockers

Short term: headaches, hot flushes, weight gain, tiredness, low mood and anxiety, reduction in bone density, bone fractures, blurred vision, vision loss.

The Karolinska Institute (Sweden) has also reported liver damage, unexplained weight gains, mental health problems, spinal fractures, osteopenia, and failure to grow.

Increase in behavioural and emotional problems in girls, including an increase in wanting to “deliberately try to hurt or kill self.”

Loss of fertility/sterilisation as gametes won’t develop.

Loss of sexual function and capacity to orgasm: young people given GrNHa at tanner Stage 2 who go onto cross-sex hormones will remain ‘orgasmically naïve’ which may impact their ability to enjoy intimate relationships.

Level of puberty resumption after GnRHa use is stopped: unknown.

Effects on brain development: unknown. Concerns raised about negative impact on IQ, long-term spatial awareness, reaction time and missing out on a window for critical cognitive development.

Impact on the growth of all major organs; heart, lungs etc.

June 2022 the FDA received 60,400 reports of adverse reactions to common GnRH agonists, (puberty blockers), including over 7,900 deaths. "

Who set in motion the complaint against @KirralieS that saw an AVO made against her? More than 12,000 emails were sent to Sophie Moore and another at Football Australia, Troy McColl at Football NSW, Bruce Potter at Mod Coast Football, ~2300 emails approx. received by each... /1 The signature 'on behalf' of Riley Dennis was made by Sophie Moore, (She/Her) she's the National Member Protection Manager of Football Australia.

If Moira Deeming sues John Pesutto, I hope she sues @ABCaustralia next. Altho, ABC had no reporter at the Let Women Speak event March 18, 2023, nor did it interview any participants or organisers; Moira Deeming or Angie Jones, or the main draw card at the event Kellie-Jay /1 twitter.com/i/web/status/1… ABC has promoted the Nazi / fascist narrative through all its channels; @abc730, @abcnews, TV news, the website and @RNBreakfast that the organisers of LetWomenSpeak and the participants were associated with the Neo-Nazis that showed up. @MRowlandMP /2

We've had tears from politicians today as the ROGD mums meet with politicians from the Labour, Liberal, National and One Nation parties. And why not, tribalism needs to go out the door when kids are at stake /1 So far they've met with 9 politicians, 8 covering all parties have been supportive of an independent enquiry into gender affirming care - f--k yeah!! Our AWWA info packs have followed up on the talks, and they have pointed us to other members to meet with. Who knew? Kids matter!

How do rational people become convinced that castration, experimental drugs & synthetic hormones young people's healthy bodies is something to be celebrated??
Our information pack for Australian politicians tomorrow talks about HOW reason is hijacked by emotion /1
@A_W_W_ANZ Framing is essential in dealing with the cultural taboo of genitalia mutilation of minors. Self-mutilation needed to be re-framed as ‘self-actualisation.’
Firstly, what is a frame? Framing is a marketing practice. So, say I take a pen that’s 6 dollars, is it expensive or cheap?

@binarythis 's thread incited suicide myths.. Can we restate this fact. there is no high quality evidence to suggest that the overall attempted suicide rate of transgender youth is 41%. TRA tell parents this evil lie: "Better a live son rather than a dead daughter" /1 “Better a live son than a dead daughter” Is the emotional blackmail used to pressure parents into compliance with drugs, hormones or surgery by Gender Clinics, lobbies & queer ideology enthusiasts. But no parent will end up with a son from a daughter through body modification. /2

Given the crap Katherine Deve's is getting for taking a stand against the medicalisation & sterilisation of gender non conforming kids - the woke and ignorant label 'trans' I've put an education site together for journalists and politicians, here lostintransition.org So what is lostintransition.org about?
On Social Media and promotions via trans lobby marketing the language around protecting "trans" kids is deceptive. "Protect trans kids", "Don't mess with trans kids.", "Trans kids matter" #IveDoneMyResearch /2

#KatherineDevesIsRight we have seen that the State has removed children under 16 from their parents for surgical intervention, first publicised case Nov 2020 in WA, where a gay autistic girl was removed for amputation of her breasts at 15 years old. But there's more .../1

https://twitter.com/michaelkoziol/status/1515871920713248771

@michaelkoziol as early as Sept 2021 up to a 100 families have had their kids taken by the State, for 'gender affirming care' aka surgical alteration of bodies, amputations of breasts and genitalia of CHILDREN. I can personally confirm it. ONE HUNDRED + KIDS by now. #KathDeves

@samanthamaiden is ignorant, lets start with LGB Kids. Childhood gender dysphoria is strongly associated with gay, lesbian, or bisexual outcomes, and most children resolve dysphoria during maturation

A review of 10 studies by Ristori and Steensma found that 61% - 98% of children diagnosed with gender dysphoria (GD) desisted (did not continue to experience dysphoria at follow-up): tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.31… 2/
