The councillor who opened up Christchurch’s female spaces to men is running for mayor.

Councillor Sara Templeton has announced her  candidacy for Mayor of Christchurch, NZ . She is also a staunch advocate for allowing men who say they’re women into female spaces. Local body elections will take place in October 2025, and so far, the contest for Christchurch’s mayoralty is between her and the current mayor, Phil Mauger, who is  running for office again . Unlike Councillor Templeton’s actual advocacy, Mayor Mauger doesn’t care if men are allowed in female spaces. He established this in a reply I received on his behalf to an email back in October 2023, which stated “ We confirm this is an operational matter and is a not a political matter; therefore, the mayor has respectfully declined your request to meet. He is aware of the Council’s operational practice regarding transgender women accessing women’s spaces .” So-called ‘transgender women’ are men, and no amount of wordplay can change that. If Mayor Mauger saw a ‘transgender woman’ with his dick out, I guarantee hi...

The Ponsonby pink-panties Santa

  Who cares what kind of panties Santa chooses to have on under his Santa suit? Not me. And neither do I want to know – too much information. He can keep that part of his business to himself. I’m happier not knowing about it, and very much happier if kids don’t know about it, either. But the Ponsonby Business Association in Auckland (New Zealand) disagrees. They think that Santa in a dress, fishnet stockings, pink petticoat and panties is “fun for all ages”. Not just fun that he has those on, but fun that an imaginary wind is blowing his dress up and exposing them for everyone to see. Seriously? This exposure is considered a “fun” thing for kids? Question: what kind of man wears women’s underwear under a dress and has an expression of naughty-delight on his face when his dress blows up and everyone, including kids, gets to see his fetish? I’m sure there’s a word for that sort of man – help me out here. Yes, it  is  a bit risqué and naughty and might give us a wee giggle -...

  I was talking to my terf friend, Sarah Henderson, from  Mana Wāhine Kōrero  (Sovereign Women Speak) the other day about language. Sarah’s deeply interested in linguistics, and we’ve had a long and fascinating  chat  on YouTube about this before. Amongst other things in that chat, she talked about how language ‘codes’ our brains into thinking in certain ways. So, when I raised the subject of what it might do to women and girls mental and emotional health to have our language erased in favour of being called things like ‘cervix havers’, ‘the birthing parent’, ‘those who menstruate’, or ‘people who go through menopause’, as just a few examples, Sarah knew exactly where I was coming from. It's a question that has been playing around my mind for a wee while now. So, I mentioned to Sarah that it would be good for someone more knowledgeable than me to write something about the impact on women and girls from taking our language away. Or, maybe she herself could consid...
