And you’ve canvassed disabled peoples opinions & a majority r happy to be lit up like Xmas trees wheeling themselves into one of these accessible toilets?

This review pinpoints key aspects of quality/trustworthiness problems affecting Census data. www.sullivanreview.uk/barriers.pdf

Ex census2023 enumerator here. Hottotuwa’s overwrought, unsubstantiated and just plain wrong comments bear no relation to the experiences of the three enumerator teams in our region. Our main problem was free-roaming dogs. People themselves were polite and courteous.

There are only two sexes when it comes to the human population. Characteristics will vary, esp when there’s a adSD involved but it’s still variation within the category, not across. And as for anti-trans, why are women wanting their rights protected under NZ HRA 1997 called oppressive?

How is accepting an individuals humanity an example of oppression and denial? It’s NOT accepting a point of view with which the person concerned does not agree that’s the issue here for u I’d say.

So some say. World Boxing was of that opinion until they found out that a simple cheek swab test separated the X from the Y. The problem w’ people who are not convinced by that is they don’t want to take the test.

Have screenshotted that excellent summary, thank u.

Welcome to Bluesky. As u can see it contains a mixed bag of commentary. Don’t b put off

I don’t agree with Byron’s position - it’s a bit too seeing RW fascism behind every action/ thought he doesn’t agree with, but at least he has a train of thought to justify his stance. Abuse is the weakest of arguments.

Garwhungle has ‘listened to you’. Indeed it is necessary to first listen in order to make one’s own response. You want unthinking acceptance of yr view. That’s not possible im afraid I’m sure u see the long term problem w’ that approach.

Respectfully disagree. A definition of sex that has no link to the corporeal is not a definition of sex. As for being in the wrong side of history, a biological definition of sex has been in use for at least 1.000 years. And will continue for the next 1,000, at least.

Perhaps they r waiting until after they meet with the Chief Human Rights Commissioner today. And yes you can be sure that this, and other issues where women’s rights have also been outright ignored, are on her mind.

We need both pieces of legislation. If you can’t see that look in the mirror and tell the man you see to sharpen up his ideas.

Luckily we’re not talking mathematics but markers of biological reality. Ps there’s no YY either, but that doesn’t alter anything either

West Coast. New Zealand.

Couldn’t agree more Kyle. U r right Extremist violence like this has become commonplace in Aotearoa. He sure isn’t doing a haka either. I prefer living in New Zealand myself. Not so much of the agitprop rhetoric there for a start.

In NZ Hardeep also the modern Left.

Chromosome variations within, not between! Geez And I’m guessing u don’t mention the multiple cognitive problems that many of the small group of individuals with variations cope with, do you. Yep a whole different ball game when chromosomes affect IQ and physicality. Not quite so trendy then huh.

No they don’t. But this poster was circulated in NZ SM sites & the call endorsed by a long-time social/environmental activist John Minto. Encouraging anyone to dob in visitors on suspicion they may belong to a group from a certain country is a hallmark of fascism.

Still at the insults Dimsie. U don’t change. Bless u

It’s a fabulous letter. Women are concerned about keeping the health benefits we have fought for. Yr ‘all folks who can get pregnant’ waters down the concern & is also a gross insult to the letter writer. Women - adult human females - can get pregnant. No other ‘folk’ have that possibility.

By the 2010’s the stories could be kept under cover no longer. U r right. The coverup went back to, in my memory, atleast the 1980’s in the North of England. As did the ‘in-plain-sight-but-don’t-u-dare-talk-about-it-u-dirty-feminist’ antics of J Saville & S Smith.

Yep sometimes analyses of skeletal remains made in 1929 don’t stand up to C21st scrutiny. Go figure

Also the Bill wasn’t supported by NZ Gay Liberation as the age of consent was higher (21 yrs) than for heterosexuals.

1st year vet medicine course at my local uni is theory only. No practicum until 2nd year. Enrolment in year 2 conditional on over 5O% in final exam result. Uni wanted to change this delivery as too many males in the degree programme were failing end of year 1 exams. R women just better scholars?

I apologise. I’m writing about what has happened to women who have been cancelled for their views about gender ideology. The post fitted right into the direct action experiences some have faced for the ‘crime’ of disagreement with an ideological position.

Student loan debt, underfunding … and the takeover of social science in particular by academics with extremist views. This attempt to sabotage the development of critical thinking from a Uni of Auckland soc sci paper. Yes it’s a crisis.

Political messaging is political messaging. This post doesn’t mean anything. Just a call to Labour Party supporters to ‘keep the faith’ imo. What it does is keep people from actively engaging. The faithful cannot be taught to think. Neither L nor RW political movements want that to happen.
