Do they realise that making a 'women's budget' is: tokenistic, offensive to women, misses that people are non-binary? It illuminates the out of date notions this government have about women and gender.

Not surprised. Just saddened that they are entering adulthood with beliefs like this. And will become judges and lawyers and power brokers with views like this.
