🚨 Rosalie Woodruff, whose parents are you choosing to hear? @TasmanianGreens @jeremyrockliff @GuyBarnett @abcnews @pulsetasmania @OneNationTas Today, Greens MP Rosalie Woodruff shared an ABC story featuring 28 parents of transgender and gender-diverse children urging Tasmanian MPs to pass the Greens' Conversion Practices Bill. Rosalie speaks of protecting children from harm. But what about the parents whose experiences do not fit the narrative she and the Greens are promoting? 💔 Women Speak Tasmania has collected heartbreaking testimonies from parents whose children have experienced gender dysphoria. These parents describe the confusion, distress and sense of loss as they watched their children struggle. They speak of family relationships fractured, children harmed and parents left devastated, isolated and desperately searching for help. These parents are not asking for their children to be coerced in any direction. They want a holistic approach, careful assessment, genuine psychological support and the freedom to take time — including watchful waiting — without being pressured towards a predetermined outcome. We provided these testimonies to the Attorney-General Guy Barnett. We also made them available to the ABC journalist covering this issue. Yet their stories remain unheard. Why has the ABC not sought to interview these parents? Why not hear from parents associated with PAGD NSW Genspect Why are only certain parents being given a platform? Rosalie Woodruff, the Greens, the ABC, the Mercury and other media outlets: Are you afraid to hear the other side of this story? You cannot claim to speak for all parents while ignoring those whose experiences challenge your position. There is a relentless campaign to portray opposition to this Bill as opposition to protecting children. That is simply not true. We have the testimonies. We have heard these parents. We know their pain. These families deserve to be heard. Their children deserve protection, careful and compassionate care, and the opportunity to grow up without being rushed into life-altering decisions. Children are not political pawns. Parents should not have to fight to have their voices heard. And the media has a responsibility to report the whole story, not just the one that suits its preferred narrative. Women Speak Tasmania will not turn away from these families.
