'DEI, for all the pretty packaging around it, is brutal and unforgiving.' Very well put. It's all a shallow show. And I is the biggest and baddest and shallowest of the letters, I for 'inclusion' of trans, which literally means the exclusion of women.

Bend your gender any way you want, real diversity is appropriate behavior and honest representation of the skills we can bring, by all parties, and is the adult expression we all need in our communities.

Finally the Emperor is getting his shorts on.

May love be with us all..

This fantasy life which has been constructed by DEI needs to DIE asap. I think that parachuting some of these people into Kabul or Kampala might give them a dose of real-life oppression. Social justice warriors are often just really polite bullies who are every bit as intolerant of other points of view as they can be. https://lucyleader.substack.com/p/the-rise-and-fall-hopefully-of-the

I would like to assist her migration to Australia. We desperately need people like her with spine in our political system.

I am fascinated with the way in which rejection of coercion and bullying by Public Service trans-allies (which I share) appears to entirely erase any concern, certainly any mention, of the fact that your new allies - NZ First and Crusher Collins (and ACT) do not support the wider feminist concern with low paid women, funding domestic violence refuges, racial equality etc etc. Have you entirely abandoned broader (2nd wave) feminist aims? The coercive bullying DEI project used the limited feminist and anti-racist hiring, pay and promotion monitoring programs as the foundation to legitimate their workshops and other workplace surveillance activities. You appear to be unaware that baby even exists as you throw out the bath water and march off giggling and spouting slogans to join the anti-woke troops.
