Cate McGregor has taken aim at Margaret Court’s comments about transgender children being the “work of the devil” and the result of parent’s who “don’t care” in one of the most heartfelt, emotional and eloquent smackdowns we have ever seen.
Appearing on ABC’s The Drum last night, McGregor – a transgender woman, sportswriter and serving member of the Australian Defence Force – spoke about how transgender children and their parents were among the most vulnerable members of society, and that criticising them was simply taking aim at “low hanging fruit”.

Everyone has a right to practice their religions, there's no need to force your religions/beliefs on others. No one truly know which religion (or if any) is right one. You believe in what you believe and practice your beliefs to the best of your abilities. Leave others to their own devices.
Cate was terrific. She also spoke out for Margaret Court's right to free speech.
