Under Attorney-General and Minister for Justice, Women, and the Prevention of Domestic and Family Violence Shannon Fentiman’s new bill, a person will no longer be required to undergo sexual reassignment surgery to formally register a change of sex.

This means that men who ‘identify as women’ can change their legal sex with little more than some paper and a few strokes of a pen.

The implications for women and girls cannot be understated.

Such legislation (also known as a Self-ID law) will effectively allow men to self-identify into female-only activities, spaces, and services, including sports, prisons, bathrooms, and refuges.

Will also add, such legislation will also cause problems for statistics, medical treatments and other matters that are the exclusive domain of cisgender women.

After having read the article, I would be inclined to say "Yes." to the question posed in the headline.

Great closing statement.
