Kiwi allies, please consider making a submission (Definitions of Woman and Man) Amendment Bill (Member’s Bill 296—1) @ legislation.govt.nz website. It’s absurdly cynical and simplistic, and flies in the face of both science and human rights in our country. #TransRights #IntersexRights #NZPolitics

On the Trans Day of Visibility I send love to everyone suffering from gender dysphoria, be they cis or trans. Trans people are very far from holding a monopoly on this. Gender affirming care takes many forms, all of them humane and positive. #TransDayOfVisibility

Commenter on The Spinoff’s article, Annie, has some great ideas #nzpol

Cis people getting gender affirming surgical care is really no different to trans people getting it. If your body develops in a way that conflicts with your gender, whether or not it matches your sex, it can cause dysphoria. Gender affirming care is the most humane and constructive care option.

Can we all encourage the rangatahi in our lives to enrol to vote & vote? The next election is crucial, & many have been very negatively affected by the current government. The low turnout for recent local elections saw losses of Māori wards. Too much harm can be done by abstention. Aroha nui ❤️

Is it a mast year? A stonking great kererū just flew into the window. He got back into the air soon after, but he made an impression. He was a beast! #kererū #NZBirds

Massive shoutout out to whoever handles the Royal Canadian Air Force’s social media account. They responded to every single comment on their already very solid Trans Day of Remembrance post and they responded like this…

Sports teams, like the NZ Breakers basketball team, who refuse to support queer fans with symbols of pride, stop being safe for us. That refusal tells me I may not be safe at a team game or appearance. I will be cheering for an Australian basketball team this season. One that wears Pride 🏳️‍🌈

Huge respect to the Jamaican cooking channel Feed & Teach, which is still running on limited power from a gas-powered generator after the hurricane. Today's show: A recipe you can make with your dwindling perishables! Donation links for hurricane relief efforts in the description, because goddamn.

I’m a gender fluid NB, AFAB w. fluid sexuality. I’m most attracted to androgyny, gender irrelevant. I present as a manly woman. I am fine with any pronoun. I experience intermittent dysphoria as my gender shifts around the parts of the spectrum I inhabit. Any questions? #TransAwareness

By the time of the Palestinian uprising occurred, the British had been occupying Palestine for almost 20 years. An occupation that was assisted by ANZAC soldiers who were responsible for war crimes and the collective punishment of Palestinian civilians.😡 #EndGenocide #FreePalestine #nzpol

Can someone help me, I developed an 'Auckland has too many Asians now' theory of why chicken thighs are now way more expensive than chicken breast, but it doesn't explain why mince is now way more expensive than rump steak.

It’s Complicated Non-binary isn’t a single gender. It’s a collective name for an array of gender identities, many of which may overlap, others of which may have nothing in common with one another, other than being external to the male/female binary. I’ve come to hate that binary. I see it as a…

At 54 I’m going back to school to get another bachelors degree. I can’t get work, so I might as well learn. This time I’m going to veterinary nursing, which is much more suitable for a neurofunky munky like me. I never used my BSc or my partial BA.
