  Speaker 4: real CNN he and Antony were manipulated by Nem, who

• 11:20
  Speaker 7: When someone inserts themselves into a specific community with the

  Speaker 7: intention of triggering people. It's not freedom of expression, it's

  Speaker 4: make a recommendation next year for nations to implement their
• 12:04
  Speaker 4: own bands individually, like Hey already have. Conversion therapy is

  Speaker 2: Now, Pride Daily.
• 13:29
  Speaker 4: Hi there, I'm keV McGrath coming up. Good news for
• 13:32
  Speaker 4: drag queens in Denmark. There though, a female only social
• 13:38
  Speaker 4: media app that discriminated against a transgender woman now has
• 13:42
  Speaker 4: to pay a double the original compensation. Roxane Tickle from
• 13:46
  Speaker 4: New South Wales in Australia was banned from Giggle for
• 13:50
  Speaker 4: Girls in twenty twenty one after the app CEO said
• 13:53
  Speaker 4: she didn't look female enough. Sal Grover appealed. Now a
• 13:58
  Speaker 4: federal courts basically said get lost and increase damages to
• 14:02
  Speaker 4: twenty thousand dollars. This is who we're dealing with.
• 14:06
  Speaker 11: I don't think there is such a thing as chrance.
• 14:07
  Speaker 11: I don't believe in the ideology at all. I think
• 14:09
  Speaker 11: it's all nonsense. I've looked at all the evidence. I've
• 14:12
  Speaker 11: observed it.
• 14:13
  Speaker 2: None of this is real.
• 14:14
  Speaker 11: It's all made up. And so you're still just a man.
• 14:18
  Speaker 11: And that's what comes down to. It's just if they
• 14:20
  Speaker 11: can make us believe that men or women, they can
• 14:21
  Speaker 11: make us believe anything. And that terrifies me, because what's
• 14:24
  Speaker 11: the next thing.
• 14:24
  Speaker 4: Thanks to the Heretics podcast, I listen so you don't
• 14:28
  Speaker 4: have to. Also, off the back of a counter appeal
• 14:31
  Speaker 4: by rock San, what was deemed indirect discrimination is now
• 14:35
  Speaker 4: ruled direct discrimination. Grover plans to appeal again to the
• 14:40
  Speaker 4: High Court.
• 14:41
  Speaker 2: Let it go Pride Daily.
• 14:44
  Speaker 4: Next, the child's formally recognized as having three parents, two
• 14:49
  Speaker 4: dads and a mom, in illegal first for Italy. Long
• 14:53
  Speaker 4: story short, authorities were blocking one of the men from
• 14:56
  Speaker 4: adopting the four year old, wrongly saying the binner Ci
• 15:00
  Speaker 4: surrogacy arrangement, a process that's banned in the country. One
• 15:04
  Speaker 4: dad actually fathered the child with a female friend. An
• 15:08
  Speaker 4: appeal court's ordered formal acknowledgment. The decisions angered conservative Catholics,
• 15:13
  Speaker 4: but they're always angry, so you know. Pride Daily and
• 15:19
  Speaker 4: Drag Queens in Denmark are protected by the country's hate
• 15:23
  Speaker 4: speech law. Comes off the back of a court case
• 15:26
  Speaker 4: which has seen a man find for calling a drag
• 15:29
  Speaker 4: show for children pedophilia. Judges have ruled what's known as
• 15:33
  Speaker 4: the racism Clause, covers hatred and humiliation linked to gender expression.
