Judging by the file name, looks like speakers notes from a member of Women’s Forum, or some kind of annex to a question from them, not somethinf produced by the Parliament.

I just spent way too much time researching some of the sports people here I didn’t know about. So many articles were just awful transphobia. But kinda telling they have exactly two examples of trans women in sports in Australia. Kinda makes the rest of them seem irrelevant but yeah alright.

Thank you! Also woah, what’s friend.blahaj.zone??
Presumably frendica?
@thoughtfuldragon @princessnorah Yep. But it’s not opened up to everyone at the moment. Not happy enough with friendicas scalability, and don’t really want to have to moderate another space.
But I love the way it handles timelines, and the way it integrates microblogging and threadiverse fedi content
