Stickers found
Western Australia’s recently formed State Security Investigation Group Hate Crime Team is investigating a series of criminal damage incidents in Subiaco around Wednesday, 10 December 2025 where anti-transgender stickers were plastered around Subiaco.
“The WA Police Force will not allow acts of hatred, intolerance, or discrimination to go unchecked. We have zero tolerance for hate in our community and will use every resource at our disposal to protect the public and bring offenders to justice. Those responsible will be held to account.” the police said in a social media post.
The stickers must have been really horrible.
The stickers were found around the Subiaco Library, the neighbouring primary school and a nearby park. There have been several incidents of the stickers appearing in this area throughout 2025.
The stickers read ““Trans women are real men”. Throughout the year contractors for the City of Subiaco have been removing the stickers, noting that they have dealt with 38 incidents since July. There have also been reports of the stickers appearing in other inner-city locations.
Um. That’s it?
Speaking to Perth Now earlier this month Sam Gibbings the CEO of Transfolk WA questioned what the perpetrator was trying to achieve by placing the stickers in a space predominantly used by young children.
The perpetrator? It’s stickers, not assault or rape or arson.
Speaking to Perth Now earlier this month Sam Gibbings the CEO of Transfolk WA questioned what the perpetrator was trying to achieve by placing the stickers in a space predominantly used by young children.
“It makes you wonder what they are actually trying to achieve. Are they trying to berate parents? Are they trying to scare children? Either way, when you resort to tactics like this in a playground, you have clearly lost the moral argument,” Gibbings said.
Tactics like what though? Saying something. It’s not as if the trans communinny never says things, including saying things to children.
“Messages like these are designed to create division. They try to import a loud, aggressive culture war style of politics that doesn’t reflect how most of us actually interact in real life.”
Gibbings said the local transgender community was very resilient by the message behind the graffiti needed to be called out. “While they are loud, they are the minority. We know most people in Australia believe in treating others with dignity and respect, and we need to call out this hateful behaviour.”
Is it treating others with dignity and respect to claim that men can be women? I don’t think so. I never feel respected when people claim that. Quite the reverse.
Stickybeaks are atrracted to stickers, so the messages on them tend to stick around, and worse: those said messages stick to the inside of the stickybeak victim’s skull, and can turn his/her/its brain into a sticky mess. so, best not to stick around. (Exits stage left.)
I see pro-trans-ideology stickers around my neighborhood all the time. I find some of them offensive, and all of them stupid. I don’t report them to the police, because they’re not criminal.

In the original German that is, of course, all one word and thus sounds far less clumsy.
On reflection, that name is just too ridiculous to be true. The West Australian, which is a newspaper, at least, seems to think that the outfit is just a generic hate crime team or possibly the Hate Crime Team but the west Australian is run by a bunch of galahs. On the other hand what, or who, is OutinPerth? Probably just one galah pecking at a keyboard. I suspect someone is doing a bit of shit-stirring.
