VIDEO EXCERPTS: Hello and thank you so much for having me. I have flown halfway around the world to tell you that men are not women.
Something so obvious that in a normal world would not need to be said. But as we all know, we're not currently living in a normal world. For those of you who don't know me, I am the woman who had to go to court to establish what a woman is and lost to a man twice.
So, I created a social networking app exclusively for women called Giggle in 2019. I had absolutely no idea I was doing this at the one time in human history where people are pretending to not know what a woman is. In February we were beta testing the app on the App Store and Google Play, and I woke up to thousands of men on the app and one-star reviews calling us transphobic and a TERF. I'd never heard the word before.
So, I Googled it and I found that there were many women raising the alarm. ... What they were saying was so insane. I had to see for myself if it was true and started doing my own research ... Not only were men claiming to be women, people were believing them.
I still didn't know enough about transgender ideology at the time, and so I naively thought it would all blow over. But in January 2022, when I was 14 weeks pregnant, I received an Australian Human Rights Commission complaint citing gender identity discrimination from a man who claims to be a woman who tried to use the app. He had gotten on it, but I had removed him. I don't remember doing it. There were many men who tried to get onto the app, and we would remove them.
[...] His name is Roxy Tickle, and he filed in federal court, creating the world's first sex versus gender identity discrimination case. So to make this situation even stupider, the case is called Tickle versus Giggle.
[...] What happened in Australia under Julia Gillard's government, our first woman prime minister, who has spent over a decade dining out on that fact: the Sex Discrimination Act was changed. The definitions of man and woman were removed and gender identity was put in.
What it has created is a completely muddled act that once existed to protect women but is now being used as a piece of legislation to punish us for not going along with an ideology. The Australian Human Rights Commission intervened in the case with the Sex Discrimination Commissioner arguing on the side of Tickle and all men who claim to be women for that matter.
She was arguing that men or women need pregnancy protections in law in case anybody perceives them to be pregnant. What they are doing is giving men who claim to be women legal protections they don't need while taking away legal protections women do need.
I lost in federal court. I was told that sex is changeable. I was found to have indirectly discriminated against him, and I was fined $10,000 because during cross-examination I laughed. was punished for laughing in a case called Tickle versus Giggle.
[...] What am I here to tell you? I'm here to say that if the state can force you to accept men as women, they can force you to accept anything. Freedom of speech, belief, and association.
[...] So, I believe that this is the most important issue in society at the moment. And if we don't eradicate transgender ideology from law and society, we're going to lose reality because transgenderism is forcing us to ignore reality and our own instincts, and it's imposing an ideology upon us. Women's rights are just the canary in the coal mine. This impacts everyone.
[...] We're told to be kind and inclusive, but people's empathy is being attacked to force us to be cruel to ourselves. Why do I have to be kind and inclusive to a man who claims to be a woman at the expense of my perception of reality and rights? How is that kind?
People ask me, "What can we do?" Speak at every opportunity, every time it is needed. Say men are not women, and I will not be forced to accept transgender ideology. Silence is being mistaken for consensus.
I'm often asked if I regret taking this stance and giving up years of my life, having to raise and spend millions of dollars in legal fees, get called a bigot, and basically derail my career.
Wouldn't it have been easier to just pay him $20,000, let him on the app, and accept that the word "woman" has evolved? No. It isn't easier to submit to an ideology you know isn't true, to give up your rights, and watch society crumble under the weight of nonsense. When I was pregnant and having to decide whether or not to fight, I knew that I was having a daughter. And I knew that I would have to teach her to stand up for herself...
