In this episode, Emma and Martine take you deep into the heart of a significant legal battle — the Tickle v Giggle case — exploring who counts as a woman and who can access women-only spaces in Australia. They unpack the debates between Equality Australia advocating for definitions that include males as lesbians based on gender identity, and the Lesbian Action Group standing for biological sex and lesbian attraction as the basis for defining women’s spaces, and women. Along the way, they navigate the evolving legal landscape shaped by the Sex Discrimination Act, the crucial principle of legality, and what the upcoming Full Court decision may mean for women and the future of female-only spaces.
