Australia’s Sex Discrimination Commissioner, who earns a taxpayer wage of about $400,000, has delivered a performance so excruciatingly awful that at first I thought it was a fake AI video.
Australia’s Sex Discrimination Commissioner Dr Anna Cody must step down after a humiliating performance at Senate estimates this week where she claimed, repeatedly, that men could potentially become pregnant.
Dr Cody earnestly argued that men who identify as women deserve “potential pregnancy discrimination protections” under the law.
It was a performance so excruciatingly awful that at first I thought it was a fake AI video.
Alas, it was very much real, providing further proof that we are ruled by feckless fools and mad ideologues.
The video has gone viral in the past 24 hours and again made Australia an international laughing stock.
As a country we are an outlier in this debate with our institutions captured by the radical trans agenda, so much so that high ranking bureaucrats are willing to publicly humiliate themselves by claiming “trans women” aka men can fall pregnant.
Watching the exchange between Cody and Liberal Senator Michaelia Cash was reminiscent of watching Eric Idle and John Cleese in Monty Python’s Life Of Brian.
Cody: “If someone who applies for a job, for example, and it is a trans woman and she may be asked whether or not she intends to have children and if she replies: ‘Yes, I do’ and then doesn’t get the job because that employer doesn’t want to employ women who may be of child-bearing age then she may have been subjected to unlawful discrimination on the basis of potential pregnancy.”
Cash: “I’m very confused, a biological male can’t become pregnant.”
Cody: “But the grounds of pregnancy include potential pregnancy as well as pregnancy.”
Cash: “But if they can’t become pregnant how can they be potentially pregnant?”
Cody: “It’s about the unlawful treatment … if someone is treated unfairly on the basis of pregnancy or potential pregnancy, then that is unlawful discrimination on the basis of pregnancy.”
Yes, this was a real discussion with Cody adamant that men who say they are women could face workplace discrimination on the basis that they could fall pregnant. Seriously.
These laws were designed to protect women – real women with wombs and ovaries.
Cody was also clear in explaining that men are not entitled to these protections.
Cash: “If a bloke came in and was asked ‘are you going to have children’ and he said ‘yeah, maybe’ are you saying he could also claim that ground?”
Cody: “No, not a man who is seeking a position, then it is not going to apply to a man.”
Cash: “But they are both biological men, it makes no sense. A biological man can’t get pregnant, am I correct? Because if I’m not I’ve got to go back to school. I seriously do, because I missed that lesson in biology … but you said a biological man can’t get pregnant.”
Cody: “That’s correct, Senator, but someone who is a trans woman may be assumed to be pregnant or to be able to be pregnant.”
The woman charged with protecting the rights of girls and women beclowned herself again by claiming men who identify as women may be assumed pregnant or able to be pregnant.
That this individual is being paid about $400,000 of taxpayer dollars per annum is an insult to every taxpayer.
The entire exchange sounded like the scene from Life Of Brian where Stan demands his friends fight for his right to have babies.
At which point an exasperated Reg responds with: “You haven’t got a womb! Where’s the foetus going to gestate?! You going to keep it in a box?!”
Giggle app founder Sall Grover, a woman who has been the victim of Australia’s warped laws, condemned Cody’s claims.
“As Australia’s sex discrimination commissioner rightly goes viral for insisting that men who claim to be women need pregnancy protections in law, it’s important to put into perspective what is happening to the law,” she wrote.
“Men are getting protections they don’t need (pregnancy) while taking away protections women do need (single sex spaces and sport, etc).”
This isn’t the first time Cody has embarrassed herself during a Senate hearing.
Last year, when faced with a question about whether biological men can be women, she said: “I don’t understand the term biological men”.
The Coalition is pushing to rewrite sex discrimination laws to define biological sex.
Ironically, it was Australia’s first female PM, Julia Gillard, who undermined the rights of girls and women by amending the Sex Discrimination Act to include men pretending to be women.
