In case you haven’t seen it elsewhere, today there is a nationwide protest against NZ’s Definitions of Woman and Man Amendment Bill. To quote the rainbowgreens Instagram page, that’s “a proposed law that threatens the identity, safety and wellbeing of trans people”. Proposed by NZ First, the bill has the support of ACT and National, and so can pass into law unless we make a LOT of noise and make National realise that centre NZ abhors this.
Personally, my daughter is trans and I am furious about this. Perhaps I’ll see you at the Bridge of Remembrance at 1pm.
The protests are happening here:
🏳️⚧️Tāmaki Makarau/Auckland: Myers Park, 12pm
🏳️⚧️ Kirikiriroa/Hamilton: Civic Square, 12pm
🏳️⚧️Pōneke/Wellington: Civic Square - 12pm
