An anti-transgender activist has lost her right to appeal an apprehended violence order taken out by a transgender woman, after “highly intimidatory”, “objectively harassing,” and “unnecessarily cruel” X posts.

In December last year, regional NSW soccer player Stephanie Blanch was successfully granted the order against Kirralie Smith, who targeted Ms Blanch in multiple X posts that a district court judge described as a “sustained campaign of belittling, harassment and intimidation”.
Intimidation? Really? Is it really truly possible for women to intimidate men that easily? Isn’t it usually the other way around?
The posts included photos of Ms Blanch, and described her as the “bloke in the frock” who played for a women’s football team in Wingham on the NSW Mid North Coast coast. At the time of the posts, she was the only transgender athlete on that team.
That is, he was the only man on that women’s team.
This is why the compelled language is compelled, of course: it makes it so much easier to confuse everyone. Say “she” and “her” enough times and most of us lose track of which sex he actually is.
Prior to the posts, seen by thousands, Ms Blanch did not know Ms Smith. The anti-trans rights activist believes transgender women should not participate in women’s sports.
Manipulative language again. The whole con is pulled off because the manipulative language is allowed and in fact mandated, as witness this particular example itself. Ms Blanch is a man. Ms Smith is not anti-rights, she’s opposed to pseudo-rights that no one has in the first place. No, it is not a human right for adult men to force the rest of the world to call them women. Obviously men should not participate in women’s sports.
The original judgment said that what Ms Smith had said about Ms Blanch, a person who is already marginalised by being the only transgender woman in the club, was “unnecessarily cruel, offensive, and harassing”.
Rich, isn’t it? Man steals a position on a women’s football team and the judge claims he’s “marginalised” because he’s the only one. The warpings of the ideology are a sight to behold.
The Binary Australia website posted multiple articles about Ms Blanch, one of which said the word woman was “[r]endered meaningless when a bloke in a frock is suddenly a woman, as we all know that a ‘woman’ is not a costume, false boobs or a drug to be taken”.
Yes, and? What part of that is false? We’re supposed to think it’s mean, but what about the meanness of a man depriving a woman of a place on the football team?
Doesn’t count. Doesn’t even register.
