It seems "misgendering" (i.e. calling a biologically male person male) is enough for a thought crime which in his case turns into a literal crime. Insane. I always pictured Aussies as like down to earth and sensible. I don't even know what's happening with this shit anymore.

But but no one's trying to erase biological sex.

Pretty soon TIMs will start civilian-arresting people for not complimenting them enough, or just looking at them. It's insane.

In my experience, which was as an American living in Australia decades ago, Australians and Americans share a bit of the "Don't tread on me" mentality. Especially outside of the large cities. So I'm really hoping the "ockers" (the rough & tumble Australians) will rise up against this bullshit attack on free speech, even if they still call women "sheilas."
