Recently my favorite reddit comment was a mod on r/auslaw in response to to Tickle versus Giggle, who had deleted a reactionaries response but there reply was "trans women are legally women in Australia, so this literally cannot be a loss for women", it's fun to have the prescriptivism of the law on your side, if only for I assume what is going to be a brief moment in history.

    Oh I have something incredible to show you lmao. Not sure how you missed this. https://hexbear.net/post/79979

    Basically this Australian terf made a gender phrenology app for "biological women". A hexbear user posted about it. A bunch of people review bombed it, then someone linked the site to her on twitter while she was melting down over it and she nearly went on sky news to complain about what was then chapo.chat.

    Good memory. I vaguely recall this now that you mention it. I remember the skynews thing but didnt really get where it came from. I think at the time I would have been public wifi dependant and didnt keep that up

    Roxane Tickle Vs Giggle for Girls. The Australian courts affirmed that under Australian law trans women are women and cannot be excluded from women's spaces due to being trans as it is discrimination.
