"As Western models of gender affirmation fall short, one takatāpui Māori turns to pūhoro and whakapapa – reclaiming identity through tā moko and redefining what it means to be seen.
...
If a society influences what gender looks like within their communities, what does it look like within te ao Māori? To me, it looks like moko."

We’ve got more content than ever. Why can’t we pay attention to it?

It is just plain wrong to treat them with any #respect!

  • And if you like me believe in #HumanRights and #CivilRights you don't treat them any different than someone publicly announcing that they want to kill you and your loved ones once they'd have a chance of getting away with such an attempt!
    • Make no mistake: This is where you set your "#IFF tag". Marginalized people take note of that and will rightfully judge you based off what you say and do (or don't), just like the #fascists do constantly fish for #affirmation from their crowd aka. *"#chat" !
