Defending women's rights in Sports. Is now considered hate speech in Australia- Free speech ‘in play’ over women’s sport

A demand that Senator Claire Chandler front up to an anti-discrimination tribunal over her defence of women’s sport from pro-transgender policy may breach the Constitution’s guarantee of political free speech, according to law professor Anne Twomey.

The Tasmanian Liberal senator has been ordered to attend an October 1 conciliation conference with an unnamed complainant over a possible anti-trans “hate speech” offence punishable with coercive orders and unlimited damages.

The Hobart man took umbrage at a newspaper opinion article in which Senator Chandler championed free speech in the face of “views which ordinary people, whether on the left or right, find absurd and completely lacking in evidence”.

“You don’t have to be a bigot to recognise the differences between the male and female sexes and understand why women’s sports, single sex changerooms and toilets are important,” she wrote in The Mercury in July.

In parliament, Senator Chandler has challenged the country’s top sport agency Sport Australia, the Australian Human Rights Commission and major sporting codes over their 2019 trans-inclusion guideline, which would pit biological males who identify as female against women and girls.

The guideline appears to have been influenced by trans activists during private consultations, and has come under international criticism from sports scientists for playing down the role of biology and testosterone in sporting performance and safety.

This video sums up what is happening and again women are being gaslight by gender ideologist. Who have the aiudacity to claim defending women's rights. Is now some how transphobic

People need to start waking up to this bullshit. Of course trans people deserve rights and should have their rights enshrined in law, but when rights conflict that effect and harm biological women. Then that is a major problem
