AusPol Petitions started this petition to _

(on TikTok and Instagram) posts harmful and discriminatory content on social media daily. content targets women, people of colour, and the LGBTQIA+ community. 

Under the guise of 'wanting to hear opinions' and 'just asking questions', discriminates against: the transgender community ("Isn't it weird how it's supposedly wrong to appropriate someone's culture, yet a man can live his whole life as a woman and that's perfectly okay"; "ask a trans person the gender of their pet, then ask them how they can tell"; "Comedian Dave Chapelle [has said] that he won't bend to meet the demands of the Trans community. I think this is great, more celebrities need to do this" ); opposes the Black Lives Matter movement and denies white privilege ("I hope more athletes stand up against Black Lives Matter"; "The [Black] Texas school shooter has been released from prison custody, this totally dispels this myth that Black people are treated unfairly by police in custody"); opposes the feminist movement and openly makes fun of feminists (when discussing the gender pay gap in early morning TV, stated "have you ever stopped to think about how your fellow cohost may be more valuable than you are, or more in demand than you are" and claimed that feminists "desire to maintain the power dynamic in which women are still held back by some type of internalised oppression"); invalidates the experiences and voices of pro-choice women in the abortion debate ("It's not your body and it's not your choice"), and is openly anti-LGBTQIA+ ("How good is this everyone, our new premier is anti-abortion, anti-same sex marriage, and apparently he is a huge Donald Trump supporter").

These are just a few examples of the hateful, discriminatory content pushes on his social media.

I am calling on the to review this content, and consider the safety and mental health of classmates, particularly those who are POC, women or members of the LGBTQIA+ community.
