Open letter to the Christchurch City Council NZ – available for anyone to sign who is a current, or potential, resident or visitor to Christchurch.

 My engagement with the Christchurch City Council (CCC) NZ, will be familiar to many by now. For those who aren’t aware, I have been skirmishing with them since October 2021 when they established a women’s session at the new Te Pou Toetoe:Linwood Pool complex – and promptly included men who say they’re women in that.

Now, they have drawn up a Draft Equity and Inclusion Policy which doesn’t have the word ‘sex’ in it, but has the word ‘gender’. Just like their obduracy in refusing to reconsider the policy which allows men into the women’s session at Linwood Pool, they have also refused to include the word ‘sex’ in the Draft Equity and Inclusion Policy.

There is no logical reason whatsoever to exclude ‘sex’ from the policy, and the reasons they’ve given for doing so are weak – e.g. the word ‘gender’ is consistent with other CCC policies, and with the Human Rights Commission advice. A note about the Human Rights Commission advice – if that advice has been taken from the Human Rights Commission FAQ page on their website, it is heavily loaded towards ‘gender identity’ rights, and has almost nothing about sex-based rights.

Conversely, the reasons to include ‘sex’ in the CCC’s Draft Equity and Inclusion Policy are strong, and are laid out in the intro to the open letter in the link below, and in the letter itself.

If you’re able to, and haven’t signed it already, please sign this open letter, which is kindly hosted on the Women’s Rights Party NZ website. The letter is open for anyone to sign who is a current, or potential, resident or visitor to Christchurch NZ.

Tell the Christchurch City Council to keep female-only services and facilities

Thank you so much :-)

A bookshop dumps a cookbook sold as a fundraiser to feed people, because the book’s author isn’t woke.

 One of the best things to come out of cyclone-ravaged Hawkes Bay in the last year is Jane Morgan’s newly released cookbook titled ‘ The Dinner Club’ , which is being sold as a fundraiser to feed people. It’s selling like hotcakes online, but the only local bookshop which stocked it sent Jane a request to collect the remaining books from them asap, because Jane doesn’t believe men can be women. They also concluded, from trawling through Jane’s social media, that she was “anti-Māori”, which, in an extremely ironic way, is as funny as feck, seeing as Jane’s mother is Māori. However, a Māori simply being honest about Māori crime stats is not excused from being “anti- Māori”, it would seem. Work that one out, if you can. The dumping of Jane’s book from the bookshop, Wardini Books , is said to have been instigated by a complaint from a known troublemaker, who is also named in several Netsafe complaints. The bookshop owners, apparently being woke up the wazoo, immediately reacted against

Ex-Corrections NZ prison officer, Josie, shares her experience of dealing with trans-identifying-males (men) in women’s prisons.

 Josie worked for the New Zealand Dept of Corrections   from 2008 to 2021. The first ten years of that time were spent working in the Auckland women’s jail, and the remainder in the men’s jail. Whilst working in the women’s jail, known officially as Auckland Region Women’s Correction Facility , she experienced the first transfer of a fully intact male who said he was a woman from the men’s jail to the women’s. In most cases, a man who says he’s a woman is a transvestite and/or autogynephile. In other parlance, he can also be referred to as a ‘trans-identifying-male’ – a TIM - and in this piece will be referred to as such, simply for brevity. This is Josie’s story of how it was for her to deal with those fully intact TIMs who came in during the time she worked at Auckland women’s jail. In 2012, the first such TIM was first transferred from the men’s jail to the women’s in Auckland. He was in jail for the murder of an elderly woman . He was a habitual offender in other ways, too, and u

New Zealand Police and the TQ+ influence

  First published 5th June 2023 When violence erupted at the Let Women Speak rally in Albert Park¹, like many, I was shocked at the police inaction. Whilst trans activists aggressively mobbed Kellie-Jay Keen and the rally marshalls, and also behaved aggressively towards other women attending the rally, a handful of police stood by and let it happen. Their response, when asked for help, was “we’re not here to protect you”. It had the disturbing feeling of them being instructed not to act. It was only when Kellie-Jay Keen’s security team and citizen-protectors got her outside the park that the police took over, and got her safely away. Whoever gave the police the instruction not to help may never be revealed, but questions have been asked. If we ever do get a straight answer, I personally would not be surprised if a  Diversity Liaison Officer  featured significantly. Like much of New Zealand’s public service, our police force has been subjected to neo-rainbow² inculcation. An Official In
