NZ's trans lobby is fighting a rearguard action - by Graham Adams.

Graham Adams has published a good article around the Cass Report’s impact in New Zealand. Trans lobby groups have (almost desperately) tried to deny that the report is of any value here, because apparently kids in NZ are too different to kids in the UK. Of course, five minutes later those same groups would have no problem citing “international best practice”, if it suited them to follow that.

NZ’s trans lobby is fighting a rearguard action | The Platform

A scant handful of journos in New Zealand have had the courage to stick their necks out on the topic of trans/gender ideology under their own names. Two of those who have consistently done so are and Graham Adams and Yvonne van Dongen. Graham and Yvonne’s ‘seditious’ articles criticising specifics of trans/gender ideology are unfearingly published by independent online media platform, The Platform, who will tread where the NZ mainstream media fears to go. Having said that, I acknowledge that Stuff, which is normally woke right up to its eyeballs, made me nearly fall off my chair by publishing the opinion piece of entrepreneur and columnist Damien Grant, who recently dipped his toes into the fray. I await Stuff’s abject apology to the ‘LGBTQIA+ community’ for the ‘genocide’ it will cause.

Previously, journo Rachel Smalley had also gone against her TodayFM wokester colleagues, and said a thing or two about trans/gender ideology which earned her no love from them. Notably, she was the first and only journo to interview an organiser of the March 2023 ‘Let Women Speak’ rally, Di Landy from Mana Wāhine Kōrero, in anything like a professional and unbiased manner prior to the event. TodayFM went off the air shortly after that brief interview, but luckily I recorded it, and for those who choose to listen to it (it’s only a few minutes long), you will hear Di Landy say in no uncertain terms that Mana Wāhine Kōrero have nothing to do with Nazis, and utterly condemns them.

Trans-flag wavers, however, who have a dire scarcity of original and coherent thought amongst the lot of them, continue to parrot “Nazi” association accusations when women get together to speak about our concerns around trans/gender ideology. They did this once again recently in Melbourne. I believe I’m justified in saying what I do above about trans-flag wavers, when none of them paused long enough to wonder why a Māori woman would even get close enough to a Nazi to spit on them.

Although Dr Charlotte Paul is not a journo, she does rate a mention, too, as one who has gone public with concerns about puberty blockers. However, as she herself admits, it’s no longer a career-ending move for her. She has written feature articles in The Listener and North and South magazines, and speaks here to Sean Plunket on The Platform. I also recognise those others who write either anonymously, or not for a living, for what they’ve contributed in critiquing aspects of trans/gender ideology.

Tantalisingly, I hear that Yvonne van Dongen has another article in the pipeline. It’s bound to be a goodie, as always. For now, here again is Graham Adams’s article –
