When the Christchurch City Council, NZ, put out their Draft Equity and Inclusion Policy for public feedback, I was delighted to have Di Landy, from the Māori women’s gender critical group Mana Wāhine Kōrero (Sovereign Women Speak) join forces with me to make an oral submission to the Council about it.
Thank you, thank you, thank you! Why should my 7 year old daughter have her right to privacy and bodily autonomy eroded by men in dresses insisting they are women? Recently she said to me "mum, that lady... I mean man... I mean person" referring to a man in women's clothes and I told her she's right it is a man dressed in women's clothes and will never ever force her to lie about the truth

Thank you for fighting for "normal."
Thank you. The presentation was clear, well put together, covering the important issues at stake.
More than forty years ago at a conference in Los Angeles, keynote speaker Robyn Morgan,
said this:
“I will not call a male “she”; thirty-two years of suffering in this androcentric society,
and of surviving, have earned me the title “woman”; one walk down the street by a
male transvestite, five minutes of his being hassled (which he may enjoy), and then
he dares, he dares to think he understands our pain?
No, in our mothers’ names and in our own, we must not call him sister”.
Thank you for this clear & persuasive statement. Will send it out on X
