“This has been hanging over me for months and the ball is in the Anti-Discrimination Commissioner’s court – they need to decide whether they dismiss the complaint or force me to conciliation or escalate straight to the Tasmanian Tribunal who can give me a financial fine – maybe thousands of dollars in damages. I will not be apologizing as I have done nothing wrong,” Elliot told Reduxx. “The Anti-Discrimination Commissioner agreed that this is potentially ‘inciting hatred’ and accepted the complaint and started investigating. They could have dismissed it and said I had done nothing wrong,” she said.
“I’ve got great legal support and we are fighting this. We are fighting the right for people to say the truth. To say facts. To say that trans women are still male, they cannot and have not changed their sex,” Elliot added.
