I should really go to sleep instead of doing more snooping into a new anti-trans hate group operating out of the University of Auckland 🙃

When I say I'm a woman I don't just mean I fulfil the social role of woman, or people generally read me as a woman. Those things are true, yes, but I have also taken control of my body and literally changed my sex characteristics to be "female". This is what medical transition does

Today's a shitty day, as we see the US Supreme Court uphold transmisogyny based on a fundamental misunderstanding of the science of sex. I feel a dreadful certainty that the echoes of their ruling will reach us here in NZ too, before long

In case it helps anyone else write theirs, here's what I'm saying in my submission against the Legislation (Definitions of Woman and Man) Amendment Bill:

Unfortunately these events are being organised entirely on Instagram, so they can be easy to miss. I don't have an Instagram account myself so these screenshots are all the info I can share

Rainbow Action Tāmaki is also holding a sign painting event in the two days leading up to the protest, if you can make it

If you'll be in Auckland on Saturday 13 June, make sure you're coming to this protest against NZ First's transphobic definitions bill

If you're a cis woman (or 'politically cis') and you haven't signed yet, get amongst it maties

E Tū E Kī: They Don’t Speak fo...

Tāmaki, yours is 12pm with a hīkoi starting at Myers Park: Afaik there will be actions in Pōneke and Kirikiriroa too - details to come

Ōtautahi, haere mai for a rally on a national day of action challenging the "definition of woman" bill. Hear from a wide range of speakers, cis and trans, and make it clear that it doesn't speak for *anyone*. 1pm 13th June, Bridge of Remembrance

it's pride month:

NZ First wrote their definitions bill after anti-trans hate group SUFW showed them a petition demanding such a bill. They gathered 2,245 signatures in 4 months

This petition *against* the bill just surpassed that in less than 4 hours ❤️

Please stand with us

Do you ever think about just how fucking dumb this timeline is?

Does anyone know how/if I can get the Tusky app for Android to stop sending me a push notification for every boost? I can't find a setting for this

I still want boosts in my notifications feed, and I still want push notifications for replies and DMs, so filtering out boosts (assuming that even works) or turning off all notifications aren't great options

So is every CEO a bully or is it just the ones I work for?

Tonight I've published a reference document on the inspiration and history of NZ First's transphobic definitions bill. If you plan to make a submission, as I do, I hope this background can help you plan and write your submission
