“I’m NOT sympathetic” to women who want FEMALE-ONLY businesses. Small Business Minister Anne Aly has made her position clear. 🤯 This is not ok! 🙅‍♀️ When asked about the Giggle for Girls (not a dating app🙄) Federal Court outcome and proposals to define biological sex in the Sex Discrimination Act, so women can run female-only businesses, Aly refused to engage. 😑 Instead, insisting “there are much more important things to talk about,” waved the issue of single-sex spaces aside, and declared herself unsympathetic to any argument that does not treat every person the same “regardless of gender.” 🚻 Aly talks about equality for everyone, yet it is well established that equality for women requires the right to female-only spaces. Without the ability to exclude males, women lose privacy, safety, fairness and dignity in the very places created for them. By insisting we are all the same, Aly has effectively decided that women do not need, and should not have those spaces. 🫢 Women who want the right to run female-only businesses are not “far right.” They are women who simply want the law to recognise that sex is real and that female-only spaces matter. Aly’s response treats that basic request as unworthy of serious discussion. 😤 Women who have built businesses for women are already paying the price under the current law. They are forced into court, face death threats, and carry the financial and personal cost of defending the right to operate female-only spaces. The Minister for Small Business has now confirmed she has no interest in fixing it. #FixTheSDA 💜🤍💚
