@aniobrien You have such a way with words. ๐คฃ
I laughed...but agree...how hard is it to simply be honest?
Oh yeah...if you are arguing against biological realities you have already abandoned objectivity.
@pennymarienz@letkidsbekidsnz I would like to write the guidelines on how to respond to far left ideology in our schools. I could do with $10k.

@jk_rowling What worries me is the self censorship by so many intelligent people. The choice to not say anything is shocking. As a father of two daughters I am disappointed in many sectors of society that have abandoned the protection of women and girls.
@the_salty_one_ So could you attend and take a historical biblical stance of binary biological sex and be supported? Would that be a test of inclusion?
@kaiviti_cam Cam are you saying I now have to worry about getting pregnant. As a 50+ yr old male I'm just not ready
for the sleepless nights and nappies.

@dr_musgrave I think you are being disingenuous and conflating some things.
I don't think screens/social media are good for young ppl.
Also.....
I don't think it is the govts. roll to police that.
@PronouncedHare Stuff is not known for accuracy across pretty much any journalistic measure you can think of. So its not a surprise that they once again push a narrative divorced from reality. ๐คก๐
@bobmccoskrienz@HelenClarkFound@GreenpeaceNZ@drug_nz But Bob we all know that advocacy for functional healthy families is dangerous to society. We just need to look back at history and see.....oops sorry .... strong families means strong social cohesion and safety.
....we can't have that Bob. ๐คทโโ๏ธ
@rosey_nz@NetballNZ Why be surprised we have been fighting feelings over facts for years.
My frustration has always been....where are the adults in the room?
If a male ever tried to compete against my daughters I'd be there challenging the stupidity.
@bobmccoskrienz I think the math's goes like this...
Perceived gender identities x personality disorders x number of divergent causes represented through flags and banners = a subtotal....
Then just pick a figure- like you can a biological sex! .
@Cherie59789095 How much does NZ need to pay in actual $$'s and regulatory costs for the IPCC to forgive our environmental sins and the global mean temp drop 1.5โฐ?
Serious question...so serious quantifiable answers please?
@bobmccoskrienz@nzherald They only amplify what suits the narrative.
There was 4000 people in the streets of Christchurch (I was there) during Covid and it didn't make the news.
It didn't fit the narrative.

@mgubrud@dingo8myhat@aniobrien Stop conflating sex and gender. Two different categories, don't be lazy.
They are appropriating as in mimicking it.
A trans woman does not and cannot have the lived experience of a biological woman and therefore will never actually be a woman.
@mgubrud@dingo8myhat@aniobrien If you want to play with transhumanistic surgery go ahead. You will still need a descriptor of "trans" because before that they were something else. They will only ever be appropriating the other sex.
@mgubrud@dingo8myhat@aniobrien Masculinity and femininity are social gender constructs. People and society are free to express that anyway they like.
That does not alter the biological reality of who the are. No matter how radical or advanced surgery becomes.
@mgubrud@dingo8myhat@aniobrien I accept trans people as people just as valuable as any other person. I just don't accept that human beings can chabge their biological sex
