theauspolchronicles:A Greens motion to set up an independent inquire into Christian Porter was sunk in the Senate because of One Nation voting with the Government. Pauline Hanson also recently called the women’s march 4 justice “anti-men” because she’s got some serious internalised misogyny going on and habitually needs to be wrong to maintain her following. She has urged people to “stop demonising men” because of all this talk of actually investigating - just even TRYING to investigate - men to determine if they’re rapists or not. Furthermore: the Liberals just voted in support of One Nation’s transphobic motion to not use gender neutral language and undermine inclusivity because it “[distorts] biological and relational descriptors.”Three in one absolute garbage piece of shit acts from Pauline Hanson and One Nation all in one. *slow clap*May they all get fucking voted out next election. This is the “transphobic motion” that you mentioned.*1055 Senator Roberts: To move—That the Senate—notes that:our fundamental biology and relationships are represented through the following descriptors – mother, father, son, daughter, brother, sister, boy, girl, grandmother, grandfather, aunt, uncle, female, male, man, woman, lady, gentleman, Mr, Mrs, Ms, sir, madam, dad, mum, husband, wife,broad scale genuine inclusion cannot be achieved through distortions of biological and relational descriptors,an individual’s right to choose their descriptors and pronouns for personal use must not dehumanise the human race and undermine gender,Dr Lyons from Logan (Queensland) reports incidences of young children feeling stressed and panicked about whether it is okay to use the words boy and girl, andpushing gender-neutral language is no replacement for appropriate emotional and psychological support for children while growing up; andcalls on the Federal Government to:reject the use of distorted language such as gestational/non-gestational parent, chest-feeding, human milk, lactating parent, menstruators, birthing/non-birthing parent, andensure all federal government and federal government funded agencies do not include these terms in their material, including legislation, websites, employee documentation and training materials. -- source link
