2018 statement to Parliament

Written submission from Dr Catharine Coleman (EEA0206)

At present women and girls, as a sex, are a protected class.  If self-ID becomes law, and it becomes possible for any male to legally become a woman, the status of women and girls as a protected class according to sex becomes impossible to maintain.  Women and girls are vulnerable and require protection under the EA due to biological sex, not any vague notions of ‘gender identity’ – it is the material reality of biological sex that is the issue, not one’s identity as a consideration separate from sex. Pertinent issues include: Domestic violence refuges, prisons, hospital wards to name but a few.  The status of women and girls as a protected class according to biological sex should not be put at risk.
