A trans-gender person from Sydney, Norrie May-Welby, alleged she had been vilified in the gay newspaper Capital-Q-Weekly, because she's a transgender.
A political debate within Sydney's transgender community about control of the Gender Centre at Petersham last year, led to a series of fiery letters to the newspaper. Ms May-Welby took the author of one letter and the newspaper to the tribunal, under the Anti-Discrimination Act.
But the tribunal has found that the letter taken in context with the acrimonious debate within the community did not vilify Ms May-Welby.
