@DuncanHenry78 @mrpaytonw If male violence is a problem for some men using male facilities, the campaign should be to stop male violence, not force women to accommodate these men.

Your personal take appears to say that women must accommodate fraudulent men if their fraudulent disguise puts them at risk from other men. Now I actually have no particular animus against men who disguise themselves as women for whatever reason and don’t try to force everyone to participate in their fantasy. Men who are adult enough to accept yes, they are still men. But to then say that this set of men are vulnerable to other men - because they have disguised themselves as the opposite sex - entitles them to access women’s spaces is rightly going to end up with women outraged at such a suggestion. No exceptions. No men in women’s spaces. They are not entitled to be there. One exception is a complete disregard for women as a group.

I know this take might get me dragged, but when I say I don’t want ‘men’ in women’s spaces, I’m primarily referring to men who are obviously and unambiguously man. I’m not a woman, so I believe women should have the primary say over the spaces they’ve fought to maintain. I won’t tell women to stay quiet on the issue, but I will share my own perspective as an outsider. This isn’t just personal feelings — it’s basic common sense. Take someone like @BlaireWhite . Most people wouldn’t immediately clock her as trans. That presentation removes the instinctive “that’s a man — this could be unsafe” reaction that many women would naturally have. By choosing to live and present fully as a woman, she’s earned the social perception of being treated as one. On the other hand, non-binary or clearly male-presenting individuals — bearded men in heavy makeup, for example — create an obvious problem in women’s spaces. That’s not difficult to understand. It’s also common sense that a highly passable transsexual could face real risks, including sexual assault, if forced into men’s bathrooms or locker rooms. We can’t dismiss that reality without sounding unreasonable or ignorant. We get nowhere in the Republican Party if we exclude every single person based on the actions of everybody else. When people show you who they are, judge them on that. Republicans claim to be against DEI yet we DEI stuff, too. Only “DEI” is silent when it’s our side and not the Democrats. Just my personal take.

@peterjlattimore @YorkshireJack5 @chrislynchmedia TPM represent/ are the elite Maori, with a vested interest in keeping the victim rhetoric alive, cause its a lucrative industry for them, and it is an easy way to get votes from those who they claim to represent, the 'opressed', victim class Maori.

@YorkshireJack5 @chrislynchmedia I work alongside many Maori, and the majority are nothing but awesome people... The only ones who seem oppressed are the lesser educated with no ambition or pride in themselves. Is TPM trying to market themselves for such individuals?

RNZ.

@Dame__Jane Omg those look so good, is it a secret recipe? Cause if not I really need a good cheese scone recipe.

Who wants a cheese scone?

@hellinhandcarts @sappholives83 Haha, yeah, I don't care if people call me puerile, its a great word if nothing else. Have a laugh ay, lord knows we need to make light of all the doom somehow. Omg.

@BFuckinA @sappholives83 This always makes me laugh but people get very offended as you can see by the replies here. You are NZ, I am UK, I think maybe we share a puerile sense of humour that Americans just don't get.

If Caster Semenya is really a woman, why does no one talk about the miracle that allowed him to father children?

@saltyreigns Why do they want it gone? (Not disagreeing, just curious)

Make no mistake - this is 100 percent maori led. They have wanted this gone for years and council have used tragedy to kowtow to greedy iwi Because Tauranga was too fucken lazy to vote in their election, we have nobody to represent us.

@KatrinaBiggs2 Men do not have a human right to cancel women's rights. There is no 'human right' that allows men to bypass consent.

BlueSky is frothing at the news that NZ First’s member’s bill to define women and men in legislation has been pulled from Parliament’s biscuit tin. Almost like traans know that their ‘identities’ are built solely on the basis of being able to make the words ‘woman’ and ‘man’ mean whatever they want. Mr Shields of PATHA (NZ’s trans ‘healthcare’ group) seems very aware of what it will mean to him and his faux woman identity.

@winstonpeters Thank you! Please be strong and uncompromising on this issue! Women and children need protected spaces for safety, dignity, and access to fair competition. Don't pay attention to the people asleep at the wheel saying its not important. Truth must be upheld in law.

New Zealand First Member’s Bill that would ensure the biological definition of a woman and man are defined in law, has been drawn and will be debated in the House. This bill is not about being anti-anyone or anti-anything. This is about ensuring we as a country focus on the facts of biology and protect the term 'woman' in law. New Zealand First is the only party that campaigned on keeping men out of women’s sports, keeping men out of women's and girl's changing rooms, and we have received two petitions this term calling for protecting the term ‘woman’ in legislation. We were told at the time that we were going down a ‘rabbit hole’ and ‘on another planet’. But if you look at recent events, both internationally and in New Zealand, the pendulum is swinging back towards common sense and is proving us right. The Legislation (Definitions of Woman and Man) Amendment Bill will provide clarity and consistency in New Zealand law by defining “woman” as “an adult human biological female” and “man” as “an adult human biological male” in the Legislation Act 2019. This Bill would ensure our country moves away from the woke ideology that has crept in over the last few years, undermining the protection, progression, and safety of women. The Bill will add new sections 13A and 13B to the Legislation Act 2019 to safeguard sex-based protections and the importance of sex-based rights. Our laws should reflect biological reality and provide legal certainty. These definitions in law fight back against the cancerous social engineering we’ve seen being pushed in society by a woke minority. The need for legislation like this shows how far the deluded left has taken us as a society. But we are fighting back. This bill is a win for common sense.

@surfbluedog @nzfirst Speak for yourself! I absolutely want this and have been following this issue closely for years.

@nzfirst Oo for goodness sake, there are more important issues at the moment. Get over yourself, let people live their lives, and actually start listening to the nz people, about what they need and want!! This is not it!!

@mikewebb1012 @saltyreigns National is left wing.

@saltyreigns They have had culture war with NZ and lost. Kiwi are sick of the rights stupidity

Imagine losing to the far left this badly when they are in disarray and you are in your first perm of govt. Is this level of failiure unprecedented? It must be, surely.

@pocha_matching NZ, all are chubby, they get fat at 3 and obese at 5.

これガチで海外の人に聞きたいんだけど、この画像だと何番からが「ぽっちゃりしてるな」って思うのかな？日本人の感覚と全然違うと思うんだよね・・

@eoinmauricedaly Well it could well be the latter, but if it is, be sure of one thing, its artificially manufactured!

Could we please receive clarity soon on whether we’re facing a period of temporary inflation or a civilisational collapse where we live in caves and eat weeds. Thank you for your attention to this matter

@grants_food @TheZeitgeistNZ Um, I think you've misunderstood the OP. But campaign to keep hospo on the list if you want, and watch all your work be taken over by Indians.

@TheZeitgeistNZ Fuck you you ignorant retard. Hospitality and food production should be among the most skilled labour. Numb nuts like you don’t appreciate what hospitality workers go through to provide their services.

All hospo jobs should be removed from the Skills Shortages list. They’re not skilled, and it’s just being abused. We’re literally doing the amazing range of restaurants meme.

@jk_rowling Sweaters without hoods are all good in my book, however

I fear this might be my most controversial take ever, but I agreed to put it to a vote so here we are. Hoodies should only be worn by men young enough not to look silly carrying a skateboard.

@salltweets @PopBase Also, this decision is not directed at trans people at all, it is purely to ensure only women compete in the women's catagory. It will impact people with DSD also. This actually has nothing to do with trans people, and everything to do with fair competion for women.

@PopBase Nikki Hiltz competes in her sex category - female - and the new rules just mean that men with a “trans identity” have to follow the exact same rules that she follows.

Nikki Hiltz, a transgender & non-binary Olympian, speaks out against the event’s new anti-trans policy: “I don't know who needs to hear this but ZERO trans women competed in the Paris Olympics. Only ONE trans woman weightlifter competed in Tokyo 2021 and she did not win a medal. Can we please stop obsessing over trans people? And idk maybe focus our time, energy, and resources into real problems women's sports face?”

@thirtythree @elonmusk Probably they do, but wtf good does it do to panic and despair.

@elonmusk POV: Watching everyone around you not realize the gravity of the situation

Banger

@salltweets Cope and seethe I suppose.

Interested to see how the Brisbane 2032 Olympics are going to handle this considering the Australian Human Rights Commission is adamant that men who think they’re women are women to the point of needing pregnancy protections in law.

@votevega26 I'm pretty certain Ashton never made such a claim, but as for claiming US defence force has technology capable of teleportation, yeah he makes that claim, I agree with him.

Ashton Forbes made his name by promoting a fake video that aliens abducted a missing Malaysian flight. Don’t take this fool seriously

@TWikiriwhi @Suitandtie9999 @chrisluxonmp National are left wing.

I hope you realise @chrisluxonmp is just as responsible for Fuel prices as the last Labour government as he is pushing the same *Net Zero* bullshit as they did! He has no intention of reversing Labours sabotage of our Oil industry and refinery! So Lets not pretend Luxon is any better vision for our future that the hopeless communists Labour and Greens. He fundamentally agrees with them on Carbon tyranny.

Jesus wept. Absolute amateur hour from Labour's leader saying the quiet part out loud. "We're not the government." When asked about potential solutions. Even the Green Party managed to come up with an actual idea! Hipkins should be torn to shreds defending his zero ideas position during his media rounds tomorrow.

@Gumbootson @MatuaKahurangi @Anywonbutlabour Its deeply concerning and depressing, isn't it. I personally know people who are indeed, very thick!

@MatuaKahurangi @Anywonbutlabour I dont trust the polls I can’t believe nz is that thick 🤦‍♀️

According to RNZ's latest poll, voters would rather see Hipkins, the man accused by his ex‑wife of having an affair with his intern, telling her to “fuck off”, refusing to buy apples for his own kids, and making her drive herself home from a miscarriage, leading NZ. #nzpol
