Labor Obsessed With Gender and Women

The Labor Party in Australia are in trouble. Unfortunately for Australia, Labor have decided to start playing a dangerous game called identity politics. Instead of focusing on things that matter to all Australians like cost of living, they’ve been busy dividing us up based on people’s ancestry with their woeful Voice campaign. “PLEASE vote Yes!”, he cried. But Australians voted against division and voted No.

But the identity politics game continues. Shannon Fentiman, Queensland Minister for Health and Minister for Women. Obviously as a Labor politician, she pushed for people to vote Yes. She’s a trained lawyer, having attained a Master of Laws from the University of Melbourne. The Courier Mail recently published a piece titled, “Will Shannon Fentiman save the Labor Party? The charismatic Health Minister is Labor’s last line of defence against the humiliating loss it faces in next year’s state election.” I would suggest that if she is the last line of defence, the Labor Party are in trouble. Sure, I’m mixing state politics with federal politics, but I think either way, the Labor Party are on the nose.

Earlier this year, Ms Fentiman made comments regarding the definition of a woman. She would know, she’s the Minister for Women after all. Not to mention that she’s the Minister for Health as well, so she should know all about human biology one would expect. She said, “Anyone who identifies as a woman is a woman, and as the Minister for Women, all people who identify as a woman are a part of our policies and strategies to advance gender equality.” So according to the Minister of Women, anyone who identifies as a woman is a woman. I’ll get to that soon.

She gave this announcement in response to a terrible, terrible sticker that was stuck outside her office. It read, “Woman. Noun. Adult human female”. On Facebook, Ms Fentiman replied, “Someone did this to my office recently. I want to be very clear – I don’t stand for these sort of views, our community doesn’t stand for these views, and Queenslanders don’t stand for these views.” Oh really, Queenslanders don’t stand for these views? I would suggest that the vast majority of Queenslanders and Australians do agree with that tiny little sticker stuck on the side of your office. Actually, even Google definitions, the Oxford Dictionary, agrees with that definition, and I quote, “Woman. Noun. An adult female human being”. Actually, even the leader of the Labor Party, the Prime Minister himself, seems to disagree with the Minister for Women both before and after he was elected. He said, “How do you define a woman? Mr Albanese. An adult female. An adult female? Yeah. What is a woman, Prime Minister? An adult female.” Yep, he seems to agree with the sticker.

Isn’t it funny? We live in such a country free of war and terror where a sticker is treated like some kind of terrible atrocity.

To be fair, some commentators have sided with the Minister for Women on this. Political reporter Amy Remeikis accused the Prime Minister of “legitimising” a “hateful question”.

Let’s go back to the Minister’s definition, “Anyone who identifies as a woman is a woman.” Let’s run with that. So who does this entail? Well, 1. Actual women, as in, biological women. Of course. Tick! 2. People with Gender Dysphoria as per the American Psychiatric Association’s latest Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, the DSM-5-TR, which was released in March 2022.

And the third category of people that would meet this definition are liars, tricksters, and conmen. How can you prove that somebody who says they identify as a woman, is not a woman? You can’t. That’s why this definition is so stupid and why the Labor party are playing a dangerous game.

The point is, Labor in Australia have been playing this dangerous game of identity politics, and it hasn’t been sitting well with many Australians. It’s divisive, it’s foolhardy, and it hasn’t even been paying off in the polls. If Labor keep playing this stupid game, if they keeping playing with fire, they’re eventually going to get burnt. The Australian people will simply vote for somebody else, and rightfully so.
