Above: one of the excellent speeches given at the Canberra “Let Women Speak” event:-

1hr22min30sec. “When I was younger, I would probably have been over there. I would have been one of the people yelling and shouting.  I was such a weird kid, I was a misfit. My first crush was on my female best friend, and I just felt like I was completely alone. I used to have a fantasy that everyone else in the world would disappear and it would just be the two of us left, and that was the only way that I could imagine actually being in a relationship with a woman. I felt so weird, I had no friends. There wasn’t any internet back then but if there was I know that I would have stumbled across this ideology, I would have found an ideology that gave me an answer for why I felt so weird, so alone. I would have felt a sense of togetherness and I would have just grabbed onto it as hard as I could. Because that was not there I grew up and I worked out how to heal myself. I worked out 2 things about how to heal myself.  I worked out how to feel my body from the inside rather than wondering, worrying, about how it looked and what other people thought about me. And then I worked out how to have relationships of integrity with other people. And the thing that is the tragedy is that  people of responsibility, people in authority, are so fucking cowardly that they are not able to leave a clear path for these kids to work out those lessons. How can you have relationships of integrity with other people if you’re expecting them to see you as something that you are not? How can you work out how to love your body exactly the way it is and love yourself exactly the way it is if you are being sold that you need drugs and surgery just to be OK? It’s so sad. And I do not feel angry at these kids that are yelling at us, I know that I could have easily been there.  The people that I feel angry about are the people in positions of authority. They should be courageous. Where are the journalists? What are the doctors doing that are not even doing basic research on these harmful drugs that they’re giving to children? What about the surgeons that are cutting off breasts of confused teenage girls, I could have been one of them. Where are the politicians who are too cowardly, they all know what a woman is but they are too afraid to say so. The shame is with them, it is not with these silly kids that are yelling at us. It is with the people who should be in a position to say stop, and they are cowardly.”

4min. Kellie-Jay Keen:“Children deserve to grow up with their bodies intact and their fertility, not damaged by medicine on the basis that they don’t fit in….the point is that boys can do whatever they like and girls can do whatever  they like, it doesn’t make them the opposite sex, it means they’ve got the freedom and liberty just to be kids without societal expectations. And actually most boys eventually do gravitate to things that are stereotypically male and most girls do gravitate to things that are stereotypically female, but if they don’t that doesn’t mean that they’re the opposite sex and we need to start eradicating their  sexual function and their fertility. It’s absolutely abhorrent”

17min5sec. “My son’s picking up a baby doll and sticking it in a push chair didn’t mean I had to rush him to a gender clinic and obliterate his fertility and eradicate his sexual function …..Your kids go to school where teachers …. are activists. I say to each and every one of you if you don’t know what’s being taught in your schools you need to find out and you need to find out now….even in devout Catholic schools in this country you are having this pernicious ideology just spoon fed into your children’s brains and these teachers are powerful. Teachers can tell children all sorts of things and be believed….that used to be a good thing but now education is activism”

21min45sec. Young woman: “all these politicians behind us have been complicit in the biggest medical scandal in human history, that they have promoted the surgical and therapeutic experimentation on the most vulnerable members in our society…the effects of those procedures will never go away for those kids, and everybody who has done this will have hell to pay. Only mentally sick magicians believe that they can change a person’s sex. Real doctors with actual brains in their heads who actually care about patients do not say such nonsense. So, when this is all over and they ask us what we were doing while  the hard-won rights earned by the women generations before us were being taken and we were being silenced at least we can say we stood with the women even when they called us Nazis” 

Above. Another excellent speech in the Canberra Let Women Speak event:-

9min50sec. “It appears that the police and the government colluded to set up a situation in Melbourne to discredit the women attending the Let Women Speak rally. A group of young men in black were positioned nearby to the rally and subsequently revealed themselves to be Nazi supporters. This then was used by people in the government and in the media to falsely claim that this women’s movement is somehow associated with Nazis. This is despite the entire Let Women Speak rally being online so that everyone can see that this allegation is baseless. My message to people in Australia, to people who understand that we are here speaking out to protect women and children, to protect women and children’s rights, is nobody said this is going to be easy. We know that there is a lot at stake and these events have shown us that we have to be strong….We are social creatures and being falsely accused is incredibly hurtful and embarrassing,  and it is way too early for us to start finding humour in the ridiculousness of what was done to us in Melbourne. But we’re women and a lot of us have been made tough enough to withstand this …..we are here speaking out to try and prevent an awful lot of human suffering that flows from the consequences of gender ideology. We know that these false accusations are designed to shame us into silence, and the false accusations attempt to put the spotlight on the question of our worth as individuals so that people are distracted from considering the very real concerns we are raising. As Graham Lineham in the UK recently so aptly put it, people keep looking at my finger rather than looking at what I am pointing to. We know that who we are as individuals is irrelevant. We are ordinary women speaking out about harms to children and women that the government and media are colluding to ignore, so we cannot let ourselves be deterred by this name-calling. Many parents and grand-parents and families generally do not know what is coming their way…..within the culture we are currently living in anyone’s child, your’s or mine, will be encouraged at school, online, during extracurricular activities, by their friends and by health professionals, to contemplate their gender. Even little kids are being encouraged to contemplate their gender. There is no scientific evidence to support such a thing as a gender identity. Children are being encouraged to contemplate something about themselves which isn’t even real, so naturally that leads to confusion. For some children this turns into an enduring preoccupation and they start to believe that the solution to any difficulties they are facing lies in changing their body. From this point on the nightmare for parents and families begins because they slowly come to realise that there is collusion going on between teachers, health professionals, child protection services and even the courts to ensure that all children are affirmed even if their parents disagree with the approach. Suddenly you’ll see what you never had cause to notice before. Rainbow lanyards around the necks of health professionals and teachers, trans pride flags on the wall in the waiting room at the health clinic, adults asking your child their preferred pronouns and then using them without any hesitation….wherever you try to move there’ a professional ready to trans your child, they’re wearing an ally badge and they’ll let your daughter know about the public health service’s chest binder fitting sessions. It will slowly dawn on you you are not in with a chance to protect your child. These people who you are relying on for help in the village that it takes to raise a child are not actually interested in the long term welfare of your child. They don’t suffer if your child becomes infertile or never experiences sexual pleasure or lives with debilitating side effects and health problems from puberty blockers and cross-sex hormones . They will never have to be there to support your child through the years of devastation that people experience when the spell breaks and they become a detransitioner. No, they feel like really good people because they’re being inclusive. Their boss insists on them being inclusive, their professional registration depends on them being inclusive. I also want to try to dispel a false belief that exists in our culture, which is that modern gender medicine is so sophisticated as to be able to change the body without side-effects, risks, and complications. That is not true. There are massive health risks from these experimental medications and surgeries. And finally I’d like to tell the people who are peddling gender ideology something that I had to tell my kids when they were little, it is this: just because you say something doesn’t make it true. Just because you say we’re Nazis doesn’t make it true. Just because you say a man is a woman doesn’t make it true. Just because you say no man will ever take advantage of self-ID laws to prey on women and children doesn’t make it true. Just because you say that children with gender dysphoria won’t mind growing up to being infertile and having serious health problems doesn’t make it true. You might ask why are we standing up to speak against a crowd of people shouting us down, why do we bother? It is because we are experiencing the burden of a social responsibility that we just can’t ignore. We must speak out about the harms we are seeing done to women and children from gender ideology. That is what is true. “
