Last week I asked the eSafety Commissioner a simple question, ‘Are Australians allowed to call a violent male rapist who identifies their way into a women’s prison a man or a male?’

In case you’re wondering: no, this isn’t hypothetical. I’ve spoken in the Senate previously about the abhorrent case of the depraved man who spent years in a European men’s jail for sexually assaulting his young daughter, before committing a serious sexual assault on a woman in Melbourne.
