Hi Yuyutsu,

As a white fella you'ed be turned red in the hot Aussie sun, and then be mistaken for an American Indian, possibly of the whopehoho tribe. That would result in Colonel Custer having to hunt you down and shoot you dead, a win, win situation. If you're a vegie, why do you need spears? Spearing big fat watermelons possibly.

Hi Foxy, Yuyutsu in the outback.

Dear Foxy,

By no means have I claimed that life in the outback without clothes and only primitive weapons is safe, easy or a good idea.

Nevertheless, this is not what I asked you.

My question was whether you would at least accept, if not even support, rather than prosecute, such people who are not of aboriginal descent yet choose to live as traditional aboriginals in these harsh conditions, and have the same legal privileges (and restrictions) as people of aboriginal descent who live the same lifestyle - in the same manner that we accept and support people who were born with male bodies and choose to live as females (possibly also modifying their body accordingly), or vice versa.

Any thoughts?

Hi Foxy,
If you click the link below which is a google search for 'Calamvale Gang Rape' you'll get some more info about the story.
- But many of the articles are paywalled.
You can also click the news tab and get some more info there.
There doesn't seem to be many recent articles, and the case for the majority of the defendants is still ongoing.

If you follow this link below to facebook it will take you to a nine news story, and you may see that some of the defendants look African, and comments on that page state as such, but you'll also note that in the news story it states that the identity of the defendants has been suppressed (even though many of them are adults)
http://www.facebook.com/watch/?v=237443437870806

I'm not sure what the reason for this is, I can only assume that they don't want to publicly state the race of the defendants.

- But if you really wanted to to get first hand info, I'd gave you the phone number of one of the girls in questions mother.
I doubt you'd want to go this far, but the offers there (assuming my friend agrees) and I wouldn't add it to the forum but share it with Graham Young who could give it to you.

Instead of this though, I'll ask my friend if she wants to come to the forum and comment herself about some of the things that have happened.
I can say though that she doesn't know all the exact details herself, only what news and prosecutors have told her as her daughter keeps what happened to herself and doesn't talk to anyone about it, (but is often heard crying alone in her bedroom) and as well as this my friend (the girl in questions mother) is not permitted to go into court with her daughter.
(These are rules from the prosecution - They feel that if family is there that the girl might not feel comfortable in sharing all the details)

[Cont]
I only know one of the girls involved.
It all started when she told her mum she was staying at a friends place, it may be that both the girls told their parents they were staying at each others place, but instead went elsewhere for the night, a bad part of town where they eventually came into contact with the defendants.

yuyutsu,

I posted a reply to you on the wrong discussion.
The one about why people hate Jews - if you care
to have a read. My apologies.

I guess what I was trying to say is basically that
your going to live in the outback - naked and with
only primitive weapons is not a good idea.

The outback is a vast remote area in the centre of
Australia. It is very dry and almost totally
uninhabitable.

The biggest two factors are heat and dehydration.
Surviving without water - you may last for 3 days but
that's only without physical exertion or being exposed to
too much heat in the direct sun.

Not a good idea.

As for gender-affirming surgery?

Choosing to undergo any surgery is a big decision. People
affirm their gender in different ways and that may or may not
include surgery.

You'll need letters of support from a mental health
professional before having gender affirmation surgery, There's
also other criteria that have to be met - listed on the web.
I'm sure that your specialist will inform you of all these.

The ultimate decision will be yours to make.

Good luck. We hope it's the right one for you.
We wish you well.
