This one strikes me with disbelief with every update.
How. is. this. possible???? Men remain men no matter how many god damn times they say they are women, and it should not cost a woman one god damn penny for saying so.
The Supreme Court of New South Wales has ruled on appeal that a woman convicted of ‘vilification’ for referring to two trans-identified male athletes as men must pay a collective $95,000 to them, in addition to court costs, despite documented evidence of one player having injured at least one female athlete on the pitch.
The pathetic circularity of it. They’re not women, but they like pretending to be women, so the state decides their enjoyment of pretending to be women is some sort of sacred right and therefore any woman who fails to humor their pretending has to pay a grotesquely inflated fine. How does it make any kind of sense?
The decision, handed down today, argues that by referring to the trans-identified males by their sex constitutes “serious contempt” and “severe ridicule,” and orders women’s rights campaigner Kirralie Smith and the publication Binary Australia to publish a statement provided by the court, to remain as a pinned and featured post on her social media for a period of three months.
Who is on this Supreme Court? Are they all 16 years old and not very bright?
In November 2023, Justin “Riley” Dennis and Nicholas “Stephanie” Blanch lodged criminal complaints against Smith for raising public awareness of their inclusion in women’s football. Smith, a spokeswoman with Binary Australia, a campaign group dedicated to advocating for single-sex sports in Australia, had been raising public awareness of their inclusion in women’s sports after learning of injuries sustained by female players.
And therefore she has to give them a very large amount of money.
In addition to punitive damages, Smith and Binary Australia have been ordered to publish a public statement “on all social media pages and websites over which they have control,” stating that they violated the Non-Discrimination Act. The statement, according to the ruling, must be “designated as a feature post,” “pinned to the top of the Defendants’ profiles,” and “published prominently on the front page” of the Binary Australia website.
Labeled as Annexure A in court documents, the statement forces Smith and Binary Australia to publicly announce that, by opposing male athletes in women’s sports, they have “contravened section 38S of the Anti-Discrimination Act,” and have “incited hatreds towards, serious contempt for, or severe ridicule of” the two trans-identified male players in posts they made identifying them as men. If the announcement is not made public, Smith risks a $40,000 penalty.
It’s just monstrous. It’s more like the Inquisition than like contemporary law and human rights.
Justice Belinda Rigg’s ruling demands that the statement “should remain visible for a period of three months,” and that the purpose of the public statement is “not to stigmatise or shame” Smith, contrary to its implications. Justice Rigg argued that by ordering the statement, she intends for others who are critical of the situation to see the announcement of guilt.
Does it not occur to Rigg that this will have the opposite effect from the one she intends? Oh yes we see all right; we just don’t see what you’re trying to force us to see. MEN STILL ARE NOT WOMEN.
