Newsflash: transgender and non-binary people exist, they are valid and they deserve our love and support, and, for some of them, medical support to affirm their gender is life-saving. This motion is harmful. It is full of misrepresentation, misinformation and fearmongering, and it has no place in our parliament. It is a complete misrepresentation of the support being offered to young people in Australia in affirming their gender identity, such as the world-class services being provided at the gender clinic at the Royal Children's Hospital in Melbourne.

The Greens reject this motion absolutely, and state our support for all trans and gender-diverse people. You are valid; we see you and we support you.
