I've offered a story to Woman's Day NZ magazine for some balance on the Let Women Speak rally in March 2023

 Recently, Woman's Day NZ magazine published a story about a Shortland St star, who also happens to be a man who identifies as a woman. He spoke about his experience at the Let Women Speak rally in Albert Park, NZ, on 25 March 2023. It was certainly a version which didn't align much with the experience of the women who attended that rally. He also, with an impressive sleight of hand, seamlessly associated Destiny Church with it, blowing on past the fact that Destiny Church was doing their own thing, which happened to be a little further down the road. The trans activists, pumped with adrenalin from the violence they'd just perpetrated on women at the Let Women Speak rally, tried to gatecrash it. It didn't go so well for them.

It's become normal for organisations everywhere to be captured by gender ideology, or capitulate to it. Those of us who aren't captured, and don't capitulate, are hissed at and labelled as 'witches' with such fervency that the only explanation for such irrationality must be its appeal to the primal brain.

However, I decided to approach Woman's Day NZ magazine with a story for balance. I wrote them this reasonable email, which is the result of sleeping on things before writing it :-)

Will they publish the story offered to them, do you think? I expect pigs might fly sooner than that, but sometimes silence is not an option.

"Dear Woman’s Day,

I note you have published a piece called Shorty star Awa’s violent attack: ‘I was hit and spat on!’. This is a piece, which, amongst other things, gives Awa’s version of events at the Let Women Speak rally in Albert Park on 25 March 2023. 

Many women who attended the rally experienced things very differently to Awa on that day, but I don’t recall seeing any of their stories published by Woman’s Day. Is it because, in your opinion, they’re the ‘wrong’ sort of women, and whatever happened to them they ‘asked for it’? 

To rectify this omission, I am offering you for publication an account from a woman who attended the rally in support of Let Women Speak. Cailtin was pregnant when she went to that rally, but didn’t for a moment believe she wouldn’t be safe, because, after all, this is New Zealand. She wrote of her experience there when she got home, and while she was still shaking from the violence perpetrated by the protestors. It is very raw. Will you have the courage to read it? I use the word ‘courage’ intentionally, because it’s not an easy thing to read an article with an open mind which we may prefer to reject out of hand.

With Caitlin’s permission, I published her story on my small Substack on the evening of the rally, after she’d shared it in the private Facebook group we both belong to. As I said, my Substack is small, but by the following morning thousands and thousands of people globally had read Caitlin’s story, and were sharing it further and citing it. Currently, over 29,000 people have viewed the story, which is light years in excess of my average number of views.

With any luck you won’t fob me off with the standard ‘it doesn’t align with our values’ excuse (an organisation’s dream excuse), accompanied by the ‘diversity and inclusion’ (selective, of course) reason for the excuse.

 

Trans activists make women terrified for their safety at the Let Women Speak rally in New Zealand.

Thank you and regards,

Katrina Biggs."
