The Department of Health Does Not Adopt a Single Definition of a Woman
By Arkmedic’s Feed
What is a woman?
Federal health officials have finally answered that question!
It’s taken a few months for them to come up with an official response.
In April, Liberal Senator ALEX ANTIC put the question forward at senate estimates.
Health secretary Dr BRENDAN MURPHY took the question on notice.
That was April 7.
Now – almost 3 months later – DR BRENDAN MURPHY has come back with an answer.
“The Department of Health does not adopt a single definition”.
“The frameworks adopted to define a person’s gender include chromosomal makeup, the gender assigned at birth, and the gender with which a person identifies”.
“Health policies and access to health programs are based on clinical evidence and clinical need for all Australians”.
“That is regardless of gender identity, biological characteristics, or genetic variations”.
“Our programs are designed to be inclusive and to provide better health and wellbeing for all Australians”.

Senator ALEX ANTIC has blasted the response as “absolute drivel”.
