I wonder when he will turn up to some LGBTIQ event in a rainbow coat !
That's more booby Bill's style, Red.
Labor's proposed gender policy could result in unnecessary sex changes among young school children, doctors have warned.
The party's national platform has included a clause on gender identity and sexual orientation, including the creation of a National Gender Centre and even appointing a Commissioner for Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity.
The policy aims to make 'gender affirming technology' more affordable and accessible as well as adding more gender identification options on birth certificates.
The document states it should 'materialise in a focus on creating fair, equal and affordable access to medical care and treatments relevant to trans and gender-diverse Australians.'
ut medical professionals and critics have warned the policies could be detrimental to children and result in unintended consequences, according to the Daily Telegraph.
Dr John Whitehall, a professor of paediatrics at Western Sydney University called the policy 'pernicious,' for promoting a concept which is still unproven, he told the publication.
The procedures, he claims, have real effects on patients - including 'castration' - based on a theory that is still being scientifically debated.
According to the most recent census in 2016, about 1,260 people identify as transgender in Australia.
The doctor also said the Government's involvement with the issue could potentially see medical professionals being punished for refusing to go through with these procedures.
'This party of the working-class has promised to permit no other option for any of its gender-confused children,' Dr Whitehall said.
'The politicians should leave gender-confused children to family and child psychologists and psychiatrists.'
Conservative politicians have also criticised the policy saying it can interfere with parents' control over their children and how they are raised.
Sydney barrister Sophie York warned that children can be 'susceptible' to the indoctrination, she told the Telegraph.
Earlier this month, Tasmania became the first Australian jurisdiction to make gender optional on birth certificates after landmark legislation passed.
The legislation allows 16-year-olds to change their registered gender via a statutory declaration without permission of their parents.
The laws also remove the requirement for transgender people to have sexual reassignment surgery in order to have their new gender recognised.
Prime Minister Scott Morrison last year labelled the push to remove gender from birth certificates as 'ridiculous'.
In October last year, Labor leader Bill Shorten said there were no plans to introduce new gender options on passports and birth certificates.
'The platform talks about making sure all Australians are treated equally,' he told Daily Mail Australia at the time.
'Labor has no plans to remove gender from official documents.'
A Labor spokesperson called the remarks 'ridiculous' and part of the Liberals' 'scare campaign.'
'Nothing in our National Platform forces parents or children to do anything. Labor's focus, as always, is on the best interests of children,' the spokesman said.
What gender are you going to be when Bill gets in? Hmmm!

Going too far Bobby!
Too much information!
dear Red,
many blessings
doth ye denieth unto all the truth?
For it is said
Luke 12 KJV
[2] For there is nothing covered, that shall not be revealed; neither hid, that shall not be known.
[3] Therefore whatsoever ye have spoken in darkness shall be heard in the light;
and that which ye have spoken in the ear in closets shall be proclaimed upon the housetops.
