The Melbourne Archdiocese Catholic Schools (Macs) has refused to let a non-binary teacher use their preferred pronouns and title, in a case that has put state and federal anti-discrimination laws on a legal collision course.

Two years ago, non-binary teacher Myka Sanders - who uses they/them pronouns and Mx for their title - asked Sacred Heart Girls College in Oakley, Melbourne if their gender identity could be recognised at school.
