A high-profile anti-trans campaigner who signed a letter last week calling for a federal inquiry into trans healthcare for children and a pause on gender affirming treatment until the inquiry is complete has had an apprehended violence order taken out against her by a trans woman.

In a December appeal ruling published last week, the NSW district court granted an AVO against Kirralie Smith, the spokesperson for anti-trans group Binary. The court ordered her not to assault, threaten, stalk, harass, intimidate, approach or contact the woman until December 2026. Smith also must not approach two mid-north coast football clubs for the same period.
