🏳️⚧️ We see you. We stand with you 🤍
Tomorrow afternoon, SA Parliament’s Legislative Council will debate a One Nation Bill seeking to criminalise trans youth healthcare in South Australia.
Not only does the Bill seek to restrict trans young people’s access to vital care, it threatens doctors, nurses and health practitioners with up to 5 years jail time for providing evidence-based treatment.
Australia’s expert body in health and medical research are currently developing national clinical guidelines on care for trans young people. This Bill isn’t based on new evidence or research - it’s a Bill based purely on ideology, fear and division.
We’ve been in active discussions with politicians across Parliament for the last few months and are expecting them to reject the Bill, leaving healthcare decisions to young people, their families and medical experts.
This debate will be distressing for trans communities, our families and allies. To stay safe:
1. Steer clear of SA Parliament tomorrow afternoon. We understand the Australian Christian Lobby are organising a rally on Parliament House steps from 2pm and recommend avoiding the area.
2. We’ll keep you updated on the outcome of the debate via social media and our website https://buff.ly/Gm8gCJO. If you want to watch the Parliamentary debate, you can live stream it on SA Parliament’s website from approx. 3pm. We know it will be a challenging listen with harmful rhetoric targeting trans communities, so listen with caution.
