Given the increasing number of nutters and nutty ideas that abound in Australia, the competition for attention is keen.

Climate change; unreliable and expensive electricity; homosexuality; same sex marriage; sexual dysphoria ; drag queens - what's next?

Well, something a bit different has popped up - the courts will decide who is a woman.

This new piece of absurdity has arisen because a biological male calling himself 'Roxanne Tickle' has convinced a Federal Court judge that he can go ahead and sue the owner of a women's only app called Giggle because he was blocked from using it on the grounds that he is not actually a woman. (Lyle Shelton, Family First, 2/6/23).

Maybe, the Court will ask him to prove he is a female and not a male. Interesting if he must give physical evidence of such before the Court.

The federal Chief Medical Office - who presumably knows a little about anatomy - wasn't able to tell Senator Alex Antic what a woman is: he stuttered and stammered, and begged to take the question on notice because 'there were so many opinions these days'. I don't think that lawyers and judges will be better qualified to come up with an answer, such as an adult, female human.

Well this has to be a first, someone quoting Lyle Shelton on OLO. I don't think that bloke has made a single comment which was found to stand up after the briefest bit of scrutiny. Desperation from the desperate.

So Ms Tickle was removed from Giggle (we reached peak absurdity yet?) after being initially accepted because the CEO who had at first welcomed trans women onto the site, had received death threats.

That is what this hysteria is bringing.

Best to move on.

A woman as we all know, is a adult female, that has XX chromosones, and has a vagina, and experiences a menstrual cycle through ovulation, and can become pregnant and give birth to new humans if fertilised with the male sperm, which is found in a mans testicles.

All these morons are just petrified of hurting mentally retarded or brainwashed peoples feelings, who either are or support the LGBTQ club, including but not limited to: big business, corporate media, centres for education and government departments all of whom are playing along.

Fail to play along, and lose your job, career and position amongst this group, and publicly earn their hatred and ire towards you as well as your friends, employer and family attacked.

- Basically it's a gang of nutcrackers all pedaling the same crap, and they all play along, because they all know what will happen if they don't.
The march of the insane.

Meanwhile over at Twitter, a movie called "What is a Woman?" garnered 120 million views over the weekend. The movie has been out for about a year but the woke-okracy have been working overtime to suppress it.

But there's a new sheriff in town over at Twitter and Elon ensured that the censorship was defeated. Even then there was a last minute attempt to suppress the movie because in some circles, asking the question 'What is a Woman?' is illegitimate. The person at Twitter who tried the last minute censorship has been shown the door. All hail Elon.

Let that sink in....120 million views. The adults have had enough of this insanity.

Of course, the issue as to 'What is a Woman?' is something that only makes sense to small, minute band who suffer a mental issue. For the rest of humanity, since there was a humanity, the question wasn't asked because it was universally known.

So if blokes want to play dress-up and pretend to be a sheila, let them do it. But when they want too play in women's bathrooms or invade women-only spaces, tell them playtime is over. It's OK for them to play dress-up but that doesn't mean the rest of humanity has to sign on to their delusions.

Gee whiz! 120,000,000 people don't know what a woman is; and after the movie they still won't get the fact that a woman is an adult, female human; always was, and always will be.

I'm not sure that there is any evidence that people are getting sick of the nonsense - if they are even interested. There is still too much noise from the loonies and attention-seekers/anarchists drowning out the few sensible people with the concern and guts to kick back.

"Gee whiz! 120,000,000 people don't know what a woman is; and after the movie they still won't get the fact that a woman is an adult, female human; always was, and always will be."

Didn't watch the video, did you ttbn? Did even bother to find out what the video was about?

Honestly. Ignorance might be bliss, but wilful ignorance is just pathetic.

FYG, the theme of the movie was examining the 'thinking' (for want of a better word) of those who claim that we can't define womanhood, and exposing the fatuousness of such 'thinking', as well as exploring ways to combat the insidious infiltration of these ideas into certain circles including education.

mhaze

What a strange reaction from you. No I didn't watch the video, and I remain amazed that so many people did. Some of us don't need other people to do our thinking for us, or need help to make up our minds.

You are obviously not one of us, but I do appreciate your reminder that most people are sheep who need constant shepherding.

Ah what do you expect ttbn...
In this day and age they teach us that men can have periods.
No wonder the youngsters are all effed up.

The real driver behind all this craziness now is in the workplace.
Get someones preferred gender wrong and the company can be sued for bullying or not providing a safe working environment...
Corporate bigwigs and their executives sit around the boardroom or have hours long video conferences discussing what to do about it, and at the risk of legal action they of course bend the knee to the lunacy.

Schools, universities, workplaces, sporting organisations, wherever people gather. I read something yesterday about people being told to attach their 'pronouns' to email signatures at work!

I suppose I could be a bit hard on younger generations. I'm 80, and still working on old, established values and common sense; and I don't have to deal with the pressures and bullying that younger people do. Mind you, there are a few oldies here who are as naive and daft as the youngsters, if their posts are to be believed. Second childhoods? Trying to keep in with their grandchildren?

Whatever. I just can't fathom why so many people are unable to think for themselves, but need to be told what to think - usually by someone they don't even know on (anti) social media, the internet, or in the mainstream media.

It used to be said that the human brain wasn't fully developed until the age of 25 years. I think that we can add 20 or 30 years to that now.

mhaze- Kudos on the link to the video. Thanks.

People who believe that they are in the 'wrong' body are suffering from a clearly defined mental condition: dysphoria. People who believe that they can change their sex are fools. People who support, encourage, and 'respect' these poor, silly wretches are not 'well-meaning': they regard what is really a fad as a bit of fun and entertainment in their jaded lives.

The tide will turn, as it always does. Medical insurers are already turning their backs on quacks butchering people to 'affirm' their illusionary sex change, and prescribing puberty blockers for children.

The madness will cease, but it will leave behind a lot of wrecked human beings, more mentally insecure than they already were.

ttbn,

Some of us think it's rather important to gather information PRIOR to forming an opinion. You should try it one day.

It's one thing to elect to not watch a video or read an article for whatever reasons, quite another to slag off on those who did watch it based upon your utter misunderstanding as to what it is about based purely on a misunderstanding of the title.

BTW and for your further education, 'Gone with the Wind' has nothing to do with meteorology.

mhaze

I did not slag you off. In fact, my response to your video reference and my surprise that so many people would need to watch it had absolutely nothing to do with you personally.

Everything is not about you; if you continue to think it is, you will continue to feel affronted and get het up - quite unnecessarily.

Your views on things are often so much like mine, that it is weird that you want to pick a fight with me because of an imagined slight.

Another outrage against a woman, and women in general, was perpetrated against one Jasmine Sussex, who was sacked from the 'Australian Breastfeeding Association', "for refusing to use gender neutral language" on Twitter.

Because she didn't use gender neutral language about breastfeeding - for heaven's sake! - she was mauled by the Federal Government Australian eSafety Commissioner for "violating Australian laws. It was this Commissioner who had Sussex's posts taken down from Twitter, not Twitter itself. She is OK with the still up there depiction of a man 'breastfeeding".

Sussex objected to tweets about an Australian MALE breastfeeding his infant with "a cocktail of lactose-inducing drugs". Now the government is protecting another male appropriating womanhood.

"Speaking out about women’s sex-based rights is increasingly resulting in censorship and penalties", says Binary's Kirralie Smith, who is being hauled before the courts herself for posting that men shouldn't be taking part in women's sports.

The gutless wonders at Australian Breastfeeding will only say that "certain conduct of certain counsellors" contravened its Code of Ethics and Constitution, leading to " 'their' 'resignation as volunteer counsellor". Bad grammar there, or just slavish adherence to gender neutral pronouns? Are there any males counselling on breast feeding!

I know you weren't slagging me off. You were deriding those who sought out the movie. But they weren't, as you claim, seeking to be told how to think. they were looking for information about how the whole trans community were affecting their lives and more particularly that of their kids and how to fight back and protect their loved ones from the assault.

Well the line where my permitted speech ends would need to be crossed for me to say what I really think on this damn topic.
If I was to say what I really thought, I too might be charged by the e-commissioner as well as face a comment deletion by the forum moderator for the numerous and varied use of many / multiple swear words...

Even though the law- if it does- may say that we can't say that a man is not a woman- we can still say that we believe the laws about "offensive prejudicial speech " is itself prejudiced and isn't democratic and we believe it doesn't have a mandate.

In democracy academics are not the law or the authority but they can potentially inform debate- but it appears that academics are getting a bad name and they will lose their franchise in the near future as people say more and more that they can't be trusted.

Let the dictatorship of the universities come to an end

Canem Malum,
Ditto ! End the idiocy !

It's the old case of go woke go broke.

I doubt that the CEO had any issues with trans "women" joining the women's only site, however, the sensitivity of women having their spaces invaded by fully functional biological men is growing and I would guess that Mr tickles was blocked based on a huge backlash from his customers.

It is similar to the crash in sales of Bud Light after using a tranny to advertise its beer.

Thanks Indyvidual and others.

I understand why a million plus people watched the video.
I would also because I am curious why our education system produces
people who believe you can change youe sex by just saying so !
I would like to see a campaign to cancel insurance companies that
cover doctors who engage in drugging and mutilating young people
from legal action for performing such procedures.
I asked NRMA insurance that question; silence, nothing !

Actually, mhazes's video is over 12 months old. I realised this when I recently saw bits of it on one of the 'forbibdden' sites I look into. I regret that I wasn't aware at the time of mhaze's post, but I'm glad that I didn't break his heart; he comes up with some good stuff quite often.

Nevertheless, the video is dated and, despite its eventual release to the hoi polloi, they are still nutty and getting nuttier.
