Breastfeeding protections extended to men who identify as women

anna cody

Australia’s Sex Discrimination Commissioner Dr Anna Cody has confirmed that a biological male who identifies as a woman and induces lactation can be covered by breastfeeding discrimination protections under the Sex Discrimination Act.

During a Senate Estimates hearing this week, Liberal Senator Leah Blyth asked Cody whether section 7AA, which refers to discrimination against a woman on the grounds of breastfeeding, could protect a biological male who identifies as a woman and induces lactation.

Blyth pointed to the explanatory memorandum, which said the protections were intended to apply to women who breastfeed. Cody’s answer was brief: “Yes, Senator”.

Blyth later called the position “state-sanctioned perversion,” saying: “A biological man cannot breastfeed. It’s time to end this madness and put the interests of children first”.

Liberal Senator Michaelia Cash also pressed Cody on what the interpretation means for women’s rights, including women-only events.

It follows an earlier clash between Cash and Cody over whether pregnancy discrimination protections could apply to a transgender woman if an employer assumed they could become pregnant.

The exchange once again puts the spotlight on how far sex discrimination law is being stretched to accommodate gender identity, and what that means for protections based on biological sex.

  1. Ok then I can put a tatoo on my chin and call myself a Maori… it’s alot more feasible than the insanity of men being total perversions of nature… of reality… when will this stop? What is the government trying to do here? These are satanic perversions being made normal by a corrupt globalist satanically run government..or in the case of Australia, I can paint white dots on my skin and call myself an Aboriginal eh.. really What the F–k…

  2. Surrogacy is the problem. This is how the freaks get their hands on babies.
    Any woman who engages in surrogacy is engaging in baby trafficking and I don’t care what reasons or excuses they have for doing it. No adoption also . If a woman can’t conceive and give birth by herself, then she remains childless.
    Russia has legislated against transgenders or men identifying as woman from obtaining children by surrogacy or adoption and every other country should so this also.
    Protect children against freaks with fetishes.
    Men in any form should also be banned from working in childcare.

  3. Germany 1920’s again!
    And run / promoted by?????????????
    The same!
    Read your history folks – this is all part of the big j$w money / WEF / UN /World Hoax organisation plan set up in 1947 to create chaos and destroy the white race as was bolshovic so called revolution and holodomor to name a couple.
    Often relying upon idiot brainwashed females – womens lib and all that.

    Luxon – brings in hundreds of thousand of indians plus the bullshit UN refugeee fraud and bang – white is gone

    fools – you let this happen and one day when you grow up you may well realise that Mr Hitler and co were right all along.

    Oh and dont forget the term nazi came from askkenazr j4ews and was a term of insult to those who were deamed stupid – nothing to do with Germany or Germans until the idiot media shoved down your throat

    Now go and vote liebor you fools then go and get some more pfzer boosters to make sure you dont reproduce and die soon.
