Upcoming live chat with Simon Anderson on Sunday 18 January
If you're free on Sunday night 18 January, tune in to hear me, Yvonne van Dongen, and Simon chew the fat.
This Sunday night, 18 January, at 8.30pm New Zealand time, Yvonne van Dongen and I will be live chatting with Simon Anderson. Grab the popcorn and tune in on one of the below platforms if you’re curious to hear what we’ll get up to, or just sitting around kicking your heels. Yvonne is a former journo, and now writes her own Substack column about the things which legacy media balks at.
Here is a list of Simon’s platforms where you can watch us
(I’m told that the landscape versions are slightly better viewing than portrait, if you can access them)
As can happen, the chat might take on its own ‘life’, but for now this is what we’ve loosely planned –
Yvonne’s Brush with Netsafe
Rex Landy’s court case
How the police still seem to favour the TQ+
The delaying of the puberty blocker ban by PATHA (Professional Assn of Trans Health Aotearoa)
Removal of the ideological component from school’s Relationship and Sexuality Guidelines
Funding for neo-rainbow groups
Trans language in our public service
Where to from here?
Two terf books to be released later this year.
Simon will have other content on his podcast when our chat finishes, but a chat-only post-live recording gets published on Spotify. That link is near the bottom in the above list of platforms.
I’ll also publish the post-live recording here on my Substack.
HI Katrina - Unfortunately I missed your discussion with Yvonne and Simon but I looked at the agenda and one notable item that seemed to be missing was a roll back of the Self ID Laws as embedded in Sections 23 to 27 of the ‘Births, Deaths, Marriages, and Relationships Registration Act 2021’ that relate to 'Registration of nominated sex'.
https://www.legislation.govt.nz/act/public/2021/0057/latest/whole.html
Until these sections of the Act are rolled back they remain a misogynist's charter for any man, from one who is relatively benign, through to one who is a sexual deviant or a pervert or an autogynephile, or even a pedophile, to walk right through any designated women's rights.
As I have said before - as long as there is a law that allows any man, with or without malevolent intent, to have any form of legal claim to being female (despite being biologically male - modified or otherwise), then the waters are muddied and this allows them and others to not comply with protecting women (and girls) in the spaces, events, facilities opportunities etc designated for them.
So I sincerely hope you addressed this issue and if so I would like to add my weight, however insignificant, to assisting with any actions being taken in this area.
AND NOTE : again as I have said elsewhere this isn't to deny those with gender dysphoria (or other fetishes about their 'gender') the opportunity, as adults, to dress and behave and modify their bodies as they like - they can do as they please - but not at the expense of women's and girls' security, safety and comfort and not at the expense of the rest of us having to believe in the fantasy that they are actually women i.e. those males who do not want to share spaces, facilities events etc with other males need to advocate for their own spaces - not usurp those designated for women and girls!! (We did it for the physically disabled - everything from separate toilets to Para-Olympics - so I am sure spaces and facilities can be found for those males who have a wannabe female fetish but are not actually women or girls).
Hey Dear Simon, 🌸 I missed you’ll last night as I got held up with one of my sweet kids in my neighbourhood who had some problems as a few come to me to talk. I listen quietly, then the tears come with him, then it's cuddle time, drink and I let him calm down then I talk. Things get sorted and he starts feeling better. Fingers crossed. 🤞
With each and everyone of them I always ring their mums so they don’t worry..
Simon they make me laugh with certain things they say.
Talking about computers and AI as I have told you before I'm a disaster with computer stuff. 🤣
So they explain to me what it is, so they are helping me as well..But to put it into action well that's other story for me...🤣 I have come to the realisation I wasn't born with an AI BRAIN...🤣 Never mind I keep going...
Take care my friend.
With love ❤️ Debbie..
