FEMALE Judge Orders Male Pronouns for Trans Activist, Billboard Chris Risks Contempt

A FEMALE judge in Australia has ordered that trans activist Teddy Cook be referred to with male pronouns during a court hearing involving Canadian parental rights advocate 'Billboard Chris' Elston. The directive has sparked controversy and raised questions about free speech. Elston, who has been instructed by the eSafety Office to remove a post referring to Cook as a woman, has stated he will not comply with the judge's order and continues to use female pronouns for Cook. This stance puts Elston at risk of being held in contempt of court and facing significant fines from the Australian government. Critics argue that the judge is demanding perjury and imposing ideological dominance. The case highlights ongoing tensions between gender identity recognition and free speech rights.
