Gender whispers on the queer wind reached my ear this week. A lamentation on how a dastardly sabotage was unraveled, cast to all the people’s hearts through the airwaves. A clip below of the revelation.

How! The Culture Warriors had learned of the Post Modern Neo Marxist plot to tear apart the fabric of the universe. Worse, that incorrigible knight, Andrew Hastie MP, has identified exactly how the deed was to be done – through the Tasmanian State Parliament.

And the mechanism of that forbidden power over the natural forces that keep space-time from unravelling into itself, a thread intertwining through space-time as the exact sequence of all the M’s and F’s printed on old growth forest paper. Deja vu is just when a Tasmanian birth certificate accidentally gets destroyed.

That Hastie considers the Tasmanian administration so supreme in its command of the universe has to be some sort of heresy.

But my absolute favourite line of all has to be this.

“No one ever considers the rights of the child in this. The child has the right to know what gender they are when they’re born, biologically, that is.”

Yeah, because no child would ever be able to tell which gender they were assigned born into, biologically, that is. I remember how I rushed to check my birth certificate, the sole arbiter of truth in this unknowable world, to see if there was a mistake. *sarcasm*

It’s hard to know if Sky News is attracted to the utter density of its presenters and guests, or if they’re attracted to the sheer weight of their viewership. Given their published ratings, I’d bet on the former.

Not satisfied with, or perhaps confused by, other people’s ability to consider two ideas at once, our esteemed leader angrily micro-blogged his displeasure. I guess he wants us to know that, like all Australians stuck in an office all day, that he too spends too much time on Twitter, and reading news websites.

It’s unsurprising that this merry band of buffoons think like this, these fools who need the flag pinned to their fucking chest just to remember what they’re doing.

I leave you with an observation.

Here is the proposed legislation. It updates state law for marriage equality, ends forced divorce for transgender people, and some other tidbits. It is okay.

Here is the official transcript of Cassy O’Connor MP, leader of the Tasmania Greens, in the second reading of the legislation, detailing some proposed amendments. It is very good.
