Australia’s Sex Discrimination Commissioner cannot define the word “sex” or the word “woman”.

Dr Anna Cody is paid hundreds of thousands of taxpayer dollars each year, but she cannot define her own portfolio. Is there anything more embarrassing?

Perhaps her recent speech at the National Press Club sums it up. She has zero regard for the sex-based rights of women, the reason why the Sex Discrimination Act was written in the first place. Instead, she wants men protected at the expense of all women.

When we talk about gender equality, we must be clear that means equal treatment of all genders, including trans and non-binary people. Around the world, we’re seeing gender diversity being used as a weapon for ideological and political purposes. This is particularly unjust when it targets a group that already faces high rates of violence and makes up less than 1% of the population. 

When we affirm and support a person’s identity, we reduce the risk of them being treated unfairly in everyday situations like walking down the street, applying for jobs, going to the doctor, or traveling. We reject the stigma that says trans people must hide who they are to be safe or accepted. When we recognize trans rights, we recognise the worth and dignity of every person.

We need urgent and coordinated action from all levels of government, state, territory, and federal. That includes ongoing funding for consistent and inclusive education that’s based on evidence covering relationships, consent, and sexual and reproductive health.

Read that line again: “When we recognise trans rights, we recognise the worth and dignity of every person.”

What absolute rubbish. What are ‘trans rights’ exactly? The right to trample over female sex-based rights does not recognise the worth and dignity of every person at all.

The commissioner goes on to state that men can be women and the government must work harder to silence those of us who speak the truth about biological reality.

So CEDAW has been interpreted and understood to include all women if that’s what you’re getting at. Um that certainly the convention on the elimination of all forms of discrimination against women. So CEDAW is absolutely it’s the women’s convention. But in understanding as we have developed it was signed back in 1979 I believe. um since it’s been in force in Australia, it has also been interpreted by the committee that looks at the meaning and the understanding of each of the articles of the convention. 

So that includes and it is specifically said it includes culturally racially marginalized women, it includes uh lesbians, it includes um first nations women, women with disability and trans women. So it absolutely includes all women because that is who women are. We’re not one version of women and so that’s why it has to be an inclusive definition of women.

Anna needs a recap on biology 101. Humans can’t change sex. Men cannot become women. So-called “transwomen” are men!
