No wonder they don’t want terfs to gather.

 I had the pleasure of hosting four women for a chat on my YouTube channel. And what women they are! The combined knowledge and wisdom between them is dangerous - dangerous to the popular and much-parroted narrative of transactivists, that is. No wonder they don’t want terfs to gather.

The subjects for the chat were Suffrage Day in NZ, the Midwifery Council’s revised Scope of Practice, and Surrogacy in NZ. The women are:

Jill Ovens – national secretary and co-leader of the NZ Women’s Rights Party, and recently retired after a 36-year involvement in the union movement, which included a leading position in the midwives’ union.

Di Landy – co-founder of Mana Wāhine Kōrero (Sovereign Women Speak), and outspoken activist against gender ideology, especially that which erodes Māori culture.

Deb Hayes – midwife and initiator of the petition against the NZ Midwifery Council’s revised Scope of Practice, where they omitted the words ‘mother’ and ‘baby’.

Robin Jones – retired midwife, expert on breastfeeding, and researcher on the harms which mega-dosing on testosterone does to those women desperate to identify as men.

Women’s Suffrage Day in New Zealand is 19th September. On that day in 1893, women in NZ won the right to vote, when Lord Glasgow signed the bill into law. The women, both European and Māori, fought hard for it, and it was only won by a narrow margin of 20 votes to 18. NZ became the first self-governing country in the world where women could vote in political elections. Women’s Suffrage Day is becoming less and less acknowledged here, though, whilst Pride days are littered throughout the year, and neo-rainbow flags and whatnot are flown and displayed everywhere. We want to own Women’s Suffrage Day once again, and bring back more celebrations of it.

NZ’s Midwifery Council began revising their Scope of Practice four years ago, and decided that gobbedlygook language and omitting the words ‘mother’ and ‘baby’ from it were good ideas. Much to their surprise, it seems, they got a lot of pushback. However, they appeared determined not to take any heed of that, so eventually Deb Hayes, a midwife, initiated a parliamentary petition against it. The petition collected nearly 7,500 signatures, and made its way all the way to the Petitions Committee, and on September 12th Deb sat in front of them along with Mana Wāhine Kōrero (represented by co-founder Di Landy, and Sarah Henderson), and made their case against the Midwifery Council’s revised Scope of Practice. The Midwifery Council come across as being oblivious to the harms they promulgate with their nonsense language in the Scope, which they have also tried to make as sexless as possible. At no stage have they been heard to express any knowledge of what mega-dosing on testosterone does to women who identify as men. Retired midwife Robin Jones has some grim information to impart about that.

Surrogacy is a subject that is gaining more awareness worldwide, as the loopholes in laws around it get exploited. Jill and Robin tell us about the situation around the surrogacy laws in NZ, which, although not perfect, seem to be better than many other places.

Di finishes off with a plug for her upcoming talk with Jennifer Bilek, and other guests.

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
