Well done those women. As a retired midwife here in the UK I am very sad to see the way the NHS is going in erasing words like women and breastfeeding in the name of 'inclusion' and in support of trans ideology.
Love that NZ has you beautiful lot! Such a stunner of a country much like my wee Scotland (except you guys get our share of the sunshine!)and I've had such worry for us all for a long time now. But cracks are appearing in their (tras) ideas,sunlight is peeking through. With every passing week I feel the drums pounding,what's coming won't be pretty but I'm ready for it. And it gives me heart to see you all are too😘
I think I compose complaints in legalese in my sleep at this point! I'm heading to Aus in November hopefully so will bring some of my Scottish 'charm' with me.
If you hear of a wee Scottish wifey being arrested in Melbourne while screaming 'if your xy you're a guy' at trans activists know it's me,and I would appreciate some letters to keep me going in the gulag😘😘
Has this terrible bill been passed yet? The one the Marxists want to have no mention of women, baby or breastfeeding? God I hope not and thanks to you beautiful women here for standing against that!!
It’s not actually a bill - creating a Scope of Practice, and updating it, is mandatory requirement of certain organisations. Parliament has to approve it, though, which is usually a box ticking exercise. It’s unusual for a Scope of Practice to be challenged like the Midwifery Council’s one has been. Parliament can stop the revised Scope of Practice being put in place, however, that hasn’t happened yet, and it’s due for implementation in October. We don’t yet have any indication whether it will be allowed, or halted.
Not quite on topic, but in reference to my own experience of having a New Zealand midwife attend my home birth in 1979. It was my sons birthday last night and in my little speech I acknowledged with pride the wonderful service I'd been given by the midwife who safely and competently delivered him into my arms on September 21, 1979 in the Auckland suburb of Ponsonby. She helped me get through the recovery and to overcome to difficulties of breastfeeding (who knew about the nipple blisters?).
It causes me so much outrage to realise how this woman based service, rendered to women having the most womanly based manifestation of what our bodies can do, is being debased to appease a male fetish.
It certainly is a fetish. No man who says he's a woman said he realised it when he saw his mother doing the vacuuming, and desperately wanted to do it instead. It's always about the clothes and underwear.

It's not going to go well, eh? Muddy language will lead to misunderstanding and bad outcomes.
Good to hear your news. Long live Common Sense!

We take much heart from what you’re doing and achieving in Scotland -:)

Omg such good point... It's centred around sexual desires for sure. Yet plenty of women give our rights away without thinking twice about it
Yes - I think it was Jennifer Bilek who I first heard say something similar, although I daresay others have, too.
