We can thank Julia Gillard, for hanging us out to dry. Thankyou Katherine, for speaking out, on behalf of millions of Aussie women and common bloody sense ❤ 🇦🇺

Well done Katherine.

Thanks for being on the right side of history Katherine. Down with "transwomen" tyranny.

I never thought a time would come that we, as a society, debate over what a man and woman is.

[@aviolet3981]

So glad she joined the team for women a few years ago, she is wonderful ❤

It goes way beyond sports though. As perimenopausal and menopausal women we often have to fight for the hormone therapy we need, yet I personally know an 18yr old boy who has joined the trans cult, got a referral to an endocrinologist and been simply handed hormone therapy as a matter of course. My GP wanted me to have counselling and insisted I try antidepressants before he would even consider MHT. Where’s the counselling and mental health investigations and support for these mixed up kids? It’s not fair, yet again, that women have to fight for information and prescriptions for medical treatments specific to our sex, yet men automatically get handed them and indulged.

As an ousted father of "trans kids" I say thank you keep it up.

This was an excellent speech by Katherine Deves...why is she not Australian prime minister?

[@suzannepadden7201]

Thank you. I have found another hero. X

What an admirable woman.

[@mariondehennin6274]

That was BRILLIANT

I know this is stating the very obvious but if women don’t win this battle then in a very short time when you are watching the finals of the elite women’s 100 metres, ALL the competitors will be trans women (men). Same applies to events like high jump, pole vault, long jump etc etc. There will be zero to a mere handful of real natal women in these competitions. If that isn’t the definition of discrimination I don’t know what is.

[@user-ke4bp3vn6e]

Governments should never have been allowed to change identification to the other gender. It is one thing to put TW for trans woman or TM for trans male. This would have recognized the change and the struggle that went with the change but still allow non trans people to retain their identities.

I am a lifelong democrat, and the far-left infuriates me. Both the far-left and the far-right kick women and girls around like hockey pucks. Neither party tries to control/run over men, only women and girls. You don't see "trans-men" running over real men in sports. Gee... I wonder why that is? 🤔 Thank you ICONS for keeping sanity at the forefront!

[@sunnysidey]

Excellent speech. This woman is a treasure.

[@angiehyytinen5549]

Thank you for standing up for the rights of women. You are what is needed in politics - a real first Female Prime Minister! You’d have my vote!

[@cathyg7767]

Thank you Katherine. This madness must end.

[@arther4tune443]

Great speech 👏 ... however, please drop the "natal males" & "natal females" as those terms are as a direct result of pressure (because of) Trans-ideology.

[@HellCatt0770]

Fantastic speech 🙏

Good onya Kathrine.
