Deeply horrifying authoritarian laws. And we’re also not allowed to move jurisdictions!!! If your teen girl has ROGD - get on a plane for a “holiday” to UK and don’t come back until puberty is safely complete.

Is there any legislation in Australia (State or Federal) that defines 'Gender Identity'?

To my knowledge the answer is 'No'.

I don't understand how anybody can be subjected to legal sanction for something that is not defined in law.

Good question. Often gender identity is defined in effect as some internal state that may or may not align with biological sex. Which leads nowhere as a definition.

It's an endless definition loop. A trans speciality.

It boggles my mind that such a law exists. It is especially poor given that the law applies even if the person seeks help and also if they are a minor.

Does anyone know how that law came into being in Victoria and why is it under the Human Rights ? I’m very curious as to how this all came about
