The Central Committee analysed the implications of the UK ruling on the definition of a woman.

It was important that the issue be seen in a broader perspective than the narrow scope which is being applied. This is part of the broader attack on diversity which could affect Australia as well.

We believe that the UK ruling has potential for negative consequences, emotional, psychological and even physical, endangering Trans people.

The Central Committee wants to assure our trans members of our ongoing support in the spirit of an injury to one is an injury to all.

Should a situation arise in Australia for similar rulings to be considered we will face it front on together.
