Legislation

There’s a lot of places in the world where legislation is either in place or they are trying to pass which amount to nothing more than hate and fear of LGBTQI people.

Here in Australia they’ve recently tried to pass a “religious discrimination” bill which was really a religious privilege bill which would have made it legal for religious people to say horrific things like my kid was going to burn in hell just for being who they are or them being intersex was a punishment from god. Thankfully it failed, this time.

They have another that’s supposedly about protecting women’s sport but it’s yet another anti-trans bill and would actually erase intersex people from the sex discrimination act removing what little legal protections they have. It’s abhorrent and it’s supporters completely dismiss any criticism of it because they don’t care that it would remove legal protections for intersex people.

In their minds intersex, trans, & LGBQ folks should all just go back to being hidden on the fringes of society. And they are still really pissed off that marriage equality was passed into law so bills like this are about revenge as well.
