‘This is a historic day’: Tasmanian parliament passes major gender reforms
“This is a historic day for transgender and gender diverse people, not only in Tasmania but around the world.”
“This is a historic day for transgender and gender diverse people, not only in Tasmania but around the world.”
Morrison took to Twitter this morning to condemn the reforms, which include making gender markers optional on birth certificates, as “ridiculous”.
Tasmanian Labor will now support the ability for parents to opt out of including gender on their children’s birth certificates, rather than the removal of gender markers entirely.
The stickers, which are shaped like penises, bear the words “women don’t have penises”.
“For the Government to claim that this reform has been sprung on Tasmania and there is need for further consultation is misleading and just an excuse for unnecessary delay.”
The Australian Christian Lobby’s state branch decried the proposal, saying taxpayers should not fund surgeries that advocates say are “life-changing” and sometimes “life-saving”.
