and what ongoing health issues will these poor children have being born from a body that has testosterone in it ,remember the 60's and the effects of anti nausea meds on children methinks this will be a similar type of tragedy eventually.
Thanks, Katrina. One point I didn't have room to make (because the column was already almost 1700 words long) is that NZ on Air has a continuing obsession with promoting trans issues. I could be wrong, but I'm doubtful TVNZ would readily put its hand up now to air a trans doco like Trans and Pregnant if someone proposed it, but NZ on Air is still happy to find other, more niche/receptive audiences than a public broadcaster such as TVNZ provides.
In April, it granted up to $395,115 for “The Gender Agenda” — a docu-series of five 10-minute
episodes “exploring the complicated issue of gender” — which began streaming on YouTube, TikTok and Instagram last week.
I haven't done a close search of NZ on Air funding decisions to find any other examples, but in the past three years it has spent millions of taxpayer dollars on three programmes alone that promote trans ideology. In the same 2021 round that funded “Trans and Pregnant”, the agency also awarded $1.725 million for “Rūrangi 2” focused on a “transgender activist” who “returns to a remote, politically divided dairy community in the hope of reconnecting with his father”.
Those figures are astronomical for a subject which very few care about. How sneaky of NZ On Air to go to Tik Tok, YouTube, and Instagram, but in many ways I’m not surprised. They are almost frothing at the mouth in the determination to spread gender ideology. If you write any more about this expenditure likely to keep bypassing TVNZ, so that they don’t even get any benefit from the funding that NZ On Air gets, I’d be very interested in reading and sharing it.
I remember something about that “Rūrangi 2” - it was a movie, wasn’t it? It was a definite mustn’t watch for me, anyway, once I read what it was about - lol!
Since the new "right wing" (hah!) govt has got in and told TVNZ/RNZ to cut it out with the Maori every where teing, they tripled down and have a news reader with a moku who is a genuine maori radical activist! And the trans "documentary" ad was on every 5 minutes.
But then, I was mostly busy jumping around on XTwitter during the US election, so the TV was on only out of a vague sense of nostalgia.
In response to a recent Listener article about the above documentary, Genspect NZ has pushed back on the idea that anyone who critiques gender ideology is a hate monger. Furthermore, “Telling readers that a woman is a gay man not only undermines lesbians and gay men whose sexuality is thus rendered a nonsense it is insulting to everyone because it is clearly false.”
What I think is really weird is that the guy, who thinks he is a homosexual, has relationship with a woman who looks like a man and has a fully fledged working vagina who is a woman but is in disguise so like a clown right? So, he’s not gay ,they are a heterosexual couple, they just both happen to like look men. So, the women is butch? She has some serious mental health issues to have her breast removed, takes testosterone that thins her vaginal wall and wrecks havoc on her urethra ummmm gives birth to a baby doesn’t reject it’s biological sex, so they do believe in biological sex then?? Otherwise they would not have observed the babies sex, would not have stopped testosterone, and would not still be in the receipt of a working vagina!! So, my conclusion is, they are bat shit crazy!! Arghhh poor kid just imagine taking play dates home to that circus of craziness.
My 16 year old son, bewitched by idiot teachers, read and understood Orwells 1984" and in particular "2+2=5", but simply can't generalize to "men=women".
Ah - I see. We didn’t use that one in my neck of the woods. As a kid in the 60s, we probably had other insults we hurled at each other, but I don’t recall them right now, apart from the religious ones. I was raised a Catholic, and occasionally there would be ‘exchanges’ with those who weren’t :-)
TVNZ again making fools of themselves with delusional persons presented to its viewers in a fake scenario. Nothing to see here as a woman who has had unnecessary surgery and looks unappealing gives birth...pity though for the baby.
I’m not happy about this as I’ve come, somewhat reluctantly I admit, to the conclusion that people in this situation are simply mentally ill. So, this poor child will be raised by sick parents. You cannot change your sex, you simply can’t, it’s impossible. This woman presumably took male hormones etc but that doesn’t change your sex. She’s a woman and that’s it and should never have been allowed to give birth in this situation. This whole gender thing is getting ridiculous and out of control.
I know - it’s a firm of masochism isn’t it! I just read the headlines these days because I stopped subscribing - but they always manage to make me feel just a wee bit more depressed.
She will not be able to undergo a vaginally delivery. There is a podcast called Gender: A Wider Lens that talks about how testosterone basically puts young women into menopause and destroys their pelvic floor, vaginally wall, etc.
From what I understand, she had a water birth - if that's what it's called - so I guess she must have delivered vaginally. However, I know you're still correct about testosterone thinning the vagina walls. I saw a snippet which basically showed she'd almost wrecked her uterus with testosterone, too, so she had to take another medication to get it back in order enough to gestate a foetus.
And the podcast talked about the fact that no one knows what this rerecipe of hormones will do to the fetus, if the hormones will have an impimpact on the development.
Unfortunately, there was some internet coverage where I was - lol! If you’re interested in reading my ‘normal life’ Wordpress blog, (from which I copied the name for this Substack blog) about my few days away, here it is :-)
There certainly seems to be a sinister determination to force a cultural change. Change needs to be organic and accepted by most of society, even if it’s only tolerated and not embraced, for it to stick.
Do I have pity for that child? You bet , and as it grows to adult hood its on our watch .
Be mindful and may love be with us all.

Thanks for quoting me, btw 🙂
Rūrangi 2 was a TV series, I think.
I was very glad to have your info to quote. Your posts are always informative and very well written.

Yes, you 're right - there does seem to be an intensified effort.
I guess the headline "Couple has baby" doesn't get the same level of attention? I don't understand how two people so immersed in their own narcissism can make the sacrifices needed to raise healthy children. https://lucyleader.substack.com/p/pregnant-dads-are-the-center-of-their
And they are not a "gay" male couple, if one of them has been pregnant.

I think you've made a very good summary there :-)

It's all batshit crazy
Get you with your own personal propagandist! 👏 I guess you’re officially a threat now 😜👏
One lives in hope - lol!
I guess the days when kids yelled “your mom wears combat boots” was an insult, are long gone.
Now it’s “your mom has male pattern baldness and a funny voice” and “your dad wears fishnet stockings and an ugly wig”
I wasn’t aware of the ‘combat boots’ insult - why was it an insult?
So, I grew up in Denver in the 50s and 60s, and yes it was an insult the other kids would throw at their prey.
You must remember, this was a time before women were widely accepted into the military.
Ah - I see. We didn’t use that one in my neck of the woods. As a kid in the 60s, we probably had other insults we hurled at each other, but I don’t recall them right now, apart from the religious ones. I was raised a Catholic, and occasionally there would be ‘exchanges’ with those who weren’t :-)
Poor child.

It is an eerie serendipity for you to publish this today - you will find that photography's most prestigious prize has just gone to his:

Apologies but I just can't break my Guardian reading habit.
Blergh! The ‘portrait’ that is, not your Guardian reading habit :-)
🤬
Well you won't be able to follow the Guardian on X any longer because they have had a hissy fit and left it after the US election result 🤣
I know - it’s a firm of masochism isn’t it! I just read the headlines these days because I stopped subscribing - but they always manage to make me feel just a wee bit more depressed.
This is such a bunch of bolony ! Why do they lie , and lie and lie?it’s just disgusting! 🤢

Good piece, thanks, Katrina
Maybe the Trump victory may begin to change things - it is clear that the Democrats' shilling for trans activism had a major effect.

Any one else feel like they woke up from the matrix but most are still in there or pretending to be.
