Peta Credlin: How can sex discrimination chief not understand ‘biological male’?

Why are we paying Australia's Sex Discrimination Commissioner if she doesn't understand the term ‘biological male’ amid controversy over a pedophile in a women's prison, writes Peta Credlin.

Sex Discrimination Commissioner Anna Cody ‘doesn’t understand what biological sex is’

I don’t understand the term “biological male”. So said the most senior official charged with protecting the rights of women and girls in this country, Dr Anna Cody, the Sex Discrimination Commissioner.

A member of the Australian Human Rights Commission, Cody was excoriated in Canberra during the week by Liberal senator Claire Chandler as debate continued around the controversial decision to house a pedophile father in a Melbourne women’s prison.

We are all so sick of this.

It’s not women trying to get themselves into a male prison, is it?

It’s biological men who decide life would be easier – and safer – in a female jail rather than a male one. So, they wake up one day and suddenly declare that “Jack” is “Jane” – and our self-ID laws back the madness in.

Clearly, this criminal should have thought a bit harder about the consequences of his depravity before he brutalised his five-year-old daughter.

It’s time our politicians got tough and ended this nonsense, because if this is allowed to stand, self-ID laws will become a fast-track into the women’s prison system.

Sex is a matter of biology. It doesn’t matter what gender you might want to label yourself, your chromosomes reveal the truth, and biology gives us only two sex options here – male (XY) or female (XX).

If the Sex Discrimination Commissioner doesn’t understand this, then why are we paying her $400,000 a year to protect sex-based rights from discrimination when, plainly, she doesn’t even know what those rights are, by definition?

THUMBS UP

Queensland government: Reversing the looming phase-out of coal until at least the 2040s to secure the state’s energy supply.

THUMBS DOWN

Pro-Palestine activists: By refusing to recognise a Palestinian state, the US President forced Hamas, Israel and the Arab countries to the table. How bizarre that those who’ve been marching for peace (so they tell us) can’t say thank you.
