Thank you for your post. I am so angry at this continual erasure of women. Every single person on this planet is here because a woman gave birth to them, not a whanau!
You have nailed it. I am sick of the trans/gender diverse BS that only considers the feelings of adults (and only those "stunning and brave" gender woo warriors, not anyone who is GC) over the actual needs of the real vulnerable people here: babies. Babies have human rights, they have their own agency, but they are voiceless in this discussion in the face of narcissism, mental health issues and thoughtlessness. Every mammal baby born is expecting to find his or her mother caring for them. They don't care about how you "identify". "A newborn baby has only three demands. They are warmth in the arms of its mother, food from her breasts, and security in the knowledge of her presence. Breastfeeding satisfies all three." Grantly Dick-Read Biology is real, ideology is the social construction.
Thanks Lucy. I have just been thinking about how snobby the whole woo is. Essentially an elite of academics and high up people in govt depts saying you commoners are disgusting with your belief in biology and two sexes and common little offensive words like mother and wahine. You little lowly bigots. And social climbers going along with it because they want to be part of the elite. What do you reckon, is this the new we only associate with people with the right posh accent and who know which soup spoon to use?
Yup, yup and yup. We are clearly on the same page. Here's my latest contribution to the world: https://lucyleader.substack.com/p/sticks-and-stone-can-break-my-bones. Never forget that this is an ideology, (a belief or feeling) and not a fact (which the gender woo warriors deny the existence of in any case). The saving grace is that chaos always destroys itself in the end. The distressing bit is all the lives that are harmed on the way to the endpoint.

I am in absolute support of your submission. The Council's proposed changes are in essence the erasure of women.
Thank you. Yes, I should have said that as well, which of course is the crux of the matter.
