The Lesbian Action Group insists that transgender women are men and argues that legal provisions for lawful discrimination justify their exclusion from public events, claiming a need for advocacy among lesbian feminists.
Dr. Daye Gang from the Human Rights Commission emphasized that denying transgender women protections under the Sex Discrimination Act is a high bar to meet, as all groups are guaranteed equal rights.
The commission highlighted the implications of granting the LAG an exemption from discrimination laws, asserting it could increase health risks for transgender lesbians, as emphasized by the Tickle v Giggle federal court ruling.
Leigh Howard, representing the LAG, contended that the Tickle v Giggle decision is binding but 'plainly wrong,' signifying the group's refusal to accept the legal recognition of transgender women.
