Last week’s Federal Court decision should reassure us that Australia won’t import the kind of anti-trans rhetoric we see overseas — but will continue to be a country where all women enjoy equality before the law.

I am very happy with this outcome as well. This should be the final ruling on this case unless it is accepted by the high court (highest court of Australia, like supreme court), which is unlikely. That said, we aren't in the clear yet - all the major conservative parties and even the "left wing" state Labor government in NSW have pledged to amend the federal or local equivalent act to add back "biological" definitions of gender.
