Hundreds gathered outside the Victorian Parliament in Melbourne for the “Trans Liberation Counter-Protest.” The demonstration was organized in response to the “Women Will Speak” rally, which participants claim is associated with trans-exclusionary and far-right ideologies. The event aimed to oppose what organizers describe as harmful narratives targeting the transgender community and to advocate for broader social justice issues.
