Meanwhile, Tasmanian Liberal Senator Chandler, who recently introduced a draft bill to protect single-sex sport for Australian women, told The Epoch Times “there is no reason at all that sporting administrators can’t both protect and celebrate women’s single-sex sport and be inclusive of trans people.”Liberal Party Senator Claire Chandler makes her maiden speech in the Senate Chamber at Parliament House in Canberra, Australia, on July 23, 2019.

“The female category exists for a reason,” she noted, “There is no human right to demand entry into something designed for the opposite sex.”

The previous federal Labor government replaced the sex-based definitions of “man” and “women” in the Sex Discrimination Act in 2013 with gender identity and created provisions that grant male-born athletes the right to take legal action if they are barred from the women’s category.

Last month, eight peak Australian sporting bodies, including Rugby Australia, AFL, and Netball Australia, released guidelines for the inclusion of transgender athletes, following the lead of Sport Australia and the Australian Human Rights Commission in 2019.

Women’s professional sports are already a joke. This only makes the joke obvious.
