As the old saying goes, "the personal is the political".

Both personally and as an active community member, I have huge concerns about Margaret Court's remarks about practising conversion "therapy". I have been on the receiving end of it and don't want anyone else to experience this — let's call a spade a spade — brainwashing and torture.

In 1995, then aged 29, I finally told a friend about "wanting to look like a woman". Factual information about trans was scarce back then so I decided to see if a psychiatrist knew anything about it.

I have started to get stuck into her supporters here via Letters to the Ed on the Hobart Mercury. 
It will be interesting to see where it goes.

Is this Margaret Court the famous tennis player?

Former tennis player, now minister in a church in WA.  Seems to think she is an expert on sexuality and gender too.
