‘Line in the sand’: Gender ideology in public policy has ‘dire consequences’
Writer and broadcaster Esther Krakue says just because people identify as a particular gender does not mean it needs to be reflected in public policy.
She said there are “many implications” with reflecting it in public policy, including with women’s shelters, sports and prisons.
“It’s about drawing a line in the sand – you can identify however way you wish, you are treated with respect and courtesy as you always have been, but in terms of public policy, that is not going to be the reality that’s reflected because it actually has dire consequences for a good chunk of the population,” Ms Krakue told Sky News Australia.
