Not all lesbians think alike. Clearly Georgie Dansy and I disagree on the Definitions Bill.

"Dickens, it warns, had opinions that ‘can cause great offence today’ – the full horror of which we can only guess at, since he seems to have deleted his social-media accounts." 🤣

Charles Dickens’ views have been declared offensive and prejudiced by a Charles Dickens museum. Britain’s heritage sector is officially eating itself. Satire is dead, says Sean Walsh

Can anyone tell me what sort of vegetable this is and do you have any recipes? And yes, it’s a vegetable. 😂

Sandra Coney and Philliida Bunkle exposed 'an unfortunate experiment' at National Women's 40 years ago and formed Women's Health Action (WHA) to address the health concerns of women. Now WHA says defining sex in law 'is not a priority.' What does Sandra Coney think about their stance? Not a lot.

[Carol Bartle @c_bartle]

@genspect Very sad to see a once "credible, evidence-based women’s health advocacy group" now giving a "dismal response" to a bill that would enshrine the definition of biological women in NZ law.

@GardenerFliss Back to the sanatorium model. Now we need to go back to relationship based care and continuity of care to improve health outcomes as well.

[Yvonne van Dongen @YvonneDongen]

Women's Health Action says supporting the bill to define sex in law 'is not a priority.' What does co-founder Sandra Coney think of this? Answer: Not much.

Finally finished @msjlindsay’s superb book Hounded. Top facts. Good quotes and interesting details about the consequences of living in an intolerant society. Highly recommended.

[Dr Carol Hamilton @kiriceilidh]

The purpose of the NZFirst Bill ‘is to uphold legal certainty, protect the integrity of sex-based rights & ensure that language in law reflects biological reality’

Why would any union want their members to object to that?
