Giggle v Tickle may be over, but the fight to restore women’s sex-based rights continues 💪 In July, advocates, families and politicians stood alongside @sall_grover in Adelaide at our rally to Fix the Sex Discrimination Act to call for clear laws that protect women’s and girls’ safety, privacy, dignity and fairness in female-only spaces, services and sport 💜 🎥 Watch the speeches here: www.womensforumaustralia.org/fixthesda-sarally2026 📣 Sign the petition to #FixTheSDA: www.womensforumaustralia.org/FixTheSDA #IStandWithSallGrover #Auspol #SAparliAUSTRALIA'S 'WHAT IS A WOMAN' CASE MAY BE OVER – BUT THE FIGHT FOR BIOLOGICAL REALITY AND SEX-BASED RIGHTS ISN'T ✊ ⚖️ The High Court’s refusal to grant @sall_grover special leave to appeal means the ruling against her in #GigglevTickle stands: a woman can be punished for excluding a biological male who claims to be a woman from a female-only space. 🩷 We owe Sall an enormous debt of gratitude. For five years, she has paid an extraordinary personal price to defend biological reality, the sex-based rights of women and girls, and the fundamental freedoms of every Australian. We also owe it to her to keep fighting. 🤝 We are calling on all parliamentarians to urgently work together across party lines to amend the Sex Discrimination Act and restore clear legal protections for women and girls on the basis of biological sex – including the right to female-only spaces, services and sports. 🎥 Watch our CEO @rachaelwongaus' interview with @jaimee_rogers on @news24aus and join us in demanding action: 📣 www.womensforumaustralia.org/FixTheSDA #IStandWithSallGrover #FixTheSDA #Auspol🚨 The High Court has refused @sall_grover special leave to appeal the Giggle v Tickle ruling, ending her final avenue of appeal in Australia. The ruling found that Sall unlawfully discriminated by excluding a biological male who identifies as a woman from her female-only app. The message could not be clearer: women and girls no longer have clear legal protections on the basis of biological sex, and those who try to maintain female-only spaces, services, sports and associations can be punished. The courts are interpreting the law Parliament has given them. Now politicians must fix it. 📣 Stand with Sall. Stand with women and girls. Stand with truth.

The ALRC appears poised to recommend a regulatory framework for a whole new commercial surrogacy industry. But instead of using the tainted term “commercial surrogacy”, it has been rebranded as “compensated surrogacy” – complete with a ‘feminist’ marketing strategy suggesting that women should have a ‘right’ to ‘work’ as surrogates and be paid for it. But changing the language does not change the reality: there is nothing feminist about turning women’s bodies into a marketplace and children into commodities. 👉 Comment ‘read’ to read the latest article by our Head of Research, @elisabethktaylor. #Auspol #surrogacyThe NSW Labor Government may be hoping this story will be buried. But we won’t forget. It said male offenders would not be housed in women’s prisons - then approved the transfer of a violent male offender to the female estate. The Minns Government “must adopt one clear, enforceable rule: women’s prisons are for female prisoners only, irrespective of gender identity, hormones, surgery or legal sex. We should not have to wait for another woman to be assaulted before the Government acts.” 👉 Comment ‘XX’ to read more by our CEO @rachaelwongaus and to join our campaign to #GetThemOut. cc: @chrisminnsmp @anoulackchanthivong #NSWpolThis Father’s Day, we honour the fathers, grandfathers and father figures whose love, sacrifice and steady presence help children flourish.

"The fact that [these sports are] promoting diversity and inclusion over fairness and safety says all you need to know...We want the federal government to enforce biological sex when it comes to female sport." 📣 #FixTheSDA: www.womensforumaustralia.org/FixTheSDA cc: @albomp @anikawellsmp @senkatyg #SaveWomensSports #Auspol🚨⚽️ Once again, female athletes raised concerns about a male competing in their competition. Once again, they were ignored. Now that player has won one of @football_victoria’s top women’s awards. Female athletes deserve safety and fairness in competition – and must not have their opportunities, positions and awards taken by men claiming to be women. 🗞️ Read more in the @heraldsun: https://archive.md/CHByA 📣 Tell our leaders to #SaveWomensSports: www.womensforumaustralia.org/womeninsport cc: @albomp @anikawellsmp #Auspol‼️ VIOLENT MALE OFFENDER TRANSFERRED TO WOMEN’S PRISON IN NSW‼️ The Minns Labor Government repeatedly assured the public that men would not be housed in women’s prisons, but today it has been revealed that a violent male offender who’s had ‘gender reassignment surgery’ has been transferred to a women’s prison. Our CEO @rachaelwongaus told the @dailytelegraph: “This is an appalling betrayal of women in custody.” Women’s Forum Australia has repeatedly called on the NSW Government to enact a blanket ban on male offenders in women’s prisons. Those calls were ignored, and now vulnerable women are trapped with a violent man. Surgery does not make a male offender female or eliminate the risk of male violence. In South Australia, multiple female prisoners have alleged they were sexually and physically assaulted by a violent male inmate who had undergone full reassignment surgery. The Government’s lack of transparency is particularly damning. Its former policy, which presumed prisoner placement according to gender identity, disappeared from public access as scrutiny intensified over previous cases of men trying to transfer to women’s prisons. That was over a year ago and it has still not been replaced with a clear, publicly available policy, despite repeated requests by Women’s Forum Australia for clarification. This case also raises serious questions about NSW’s new self-ID laws, under which more than 1,000 males have legally changed their sex to female in less than a year. How will a male offender who is legally female be prevented from being housed in a women’s prison? This transfer must be reversed immediately and the Government must urgently ban ALL male offenders from women’s prisons. 🔗 Read more: https://archive.md/p57EH 📣 Join our campaign to #GetThemOut: www.womensforumaustralia.org/getthemout @chrisminnsmp @anoulackchanthivong #NSWpolIt was an honour to host United Nations Special Rapporteur on violence against women and girls, Reem Alsalem, at NSW Parliament with MPs, journalists and advocates. The Special Rapporteur spoke about the ‘Modern Day Threats to Women and Girls’, including the erasure of biological sex, surrogacy and prostitution. Thank you Reem for visiting Australia and for all you are doing to protect women and girls 💜Let’s go SYDNEY 🔥🔥🔥 It’s time to restore biological reality and the sex-based rights of women and girls to our laws ✊ RALLY TO RESTORE WOMEN’S RIGHTS AND FIX THE SDA 📍 Martin Place Amphitheatre 🕛 12pm, THIS SUNDAY, 23 August Human beings cannot change sex.

Children as young as 11 received gender-related medical interventions at the Women’s and Children’s Hospital without the psychiatric assessment required under South Australia’s own model of care. This was not an isolated oversight. 22 cases across 2023 and 2024 point to a systemic failure that demands transparency and accountability. Following public pressure, @southaustralianlabor Health Minister @blair.boyermp now says he will consider releasing the review’s recommendations. But selected recommendations are not enough. South Australian parents and the public deserve to know: ➡️ How were these safeguards allowed to fail? ➡️ Who has been held accountable? ➡️ What action has been taken to ensure it cannot happen again? The full findings should be released, and an independent public inquiry into South Australia’s treatment of children experiencing gender distress is urgently needed. 📰 Comment ‘read’ to read the reports in @thetiser. #SAparli #Auspol
