The government funded ABC has deleted a tweet containing an article that lashes out at a Christian church.
The article titled “How Jesse’s dress is overturning the army’s gender diversity policy” claims that someone who “spent their entire life” with a Christian church seemed “at odds” with “genuine expression.”
This article is government-funded HATRED of religion, specifically Christianity.

The AUTHOR of the article puts forth that attending a Pentecostal church makes you AT ODDS with genuine expression of self.
SHAME on @abcnews #auspol https://t.co/URCIVjTzue pic.twitter.com/cGcHaZUZUs
Australians were quick to criticize the article over social media , primarily expressing dissatisfaction with the Australian army’s involvement.
Prominent Australian figure Katherine Deves tweeted out “Australia’s Department of Defence now allows men to indulge their crossdressing fetish at work,” with a link to the article.

Australian journalist Avi Yemini joked about the situation with a reference to the Russia-Ukraine war.
“Putin beware,” he said.
“If you cross the line with Ukraine, the Australian army will cross-dress right back at you.”
Putin beware.

If you cross the line with Ukraine, the Australian army will cross-dress right back at you.
We play dirty like that.
