Judging by the file name, looks like speakers notes from a member of Women's Forum, or some kind of annex to a question from them, not somethinf produced by the Parliament.

But "TERF is a slur" hey.

Answering to myself: "Taken on Notice and Response" refers to official records of questions asked and answers provided in parliamentary committees.

I just spent way too much time researching some of the sports people here I didn't know about. So many articles were just awful transphobia. But kinda telling they have exactly two examples of trans women in sports in Australia. Kinda makes the rest of them seem irrelevant but yeah alright.

If Queensland tries to ban trans women in sport I'm gonna boycott the Gold Coast Olympics in 2032.

What's the context for this?

After some googling about, seems to be a go-to document for TERFs wanting to turn anecdote into rule.

If you are really curious to see it in use, this page starts with a strawman in the first sentence, then goes on to ignore how longer would the list be if it were of very much manly men who committed sex crimes while fully aligned with their assigned at birth gender: https://jenkteach.co.uk/the-myth-of-no-evidence-trans-identified-individuals-and-violent-crimes

Nothing really. I was trying to figure out the term for when trans women are used as rape bait in men's prisons to keep violent offenders "calm". This just popped up as a result and it seemed comically evil.

Side note, if anyone knows that term I'd be appreciative. I kept getting drivel like this, which implies the issue is in the other direction:

My brain keeps saying redlining but it obviously isn't that. I know it's [something] coded/coding.

@thoughtfuldragon @princessnorah Yep. But it's not opened up to everyone at the moment. Not happy enough with friendicas scalability, and don't really want to have to moderate another space.

But I love the way it handles timelines, and the way it integrates microblogging and threadiverse fedi content
