The Definitions Bill isn't law yet, and the fight isn't over. I've pulled together a calm, fully-sourced breakdown of every argument being made for it, and why each one fails. Use it in your own conversations. Share it with the person who's "just asking questions." #TransRights #NZPol #Aotearoa

The Definitions of Woman and Man Bill is transphobic and protects no one

It’s a transphobic bill dressed up as protecting women — and it protects no one. Here’s what the evidence actually says about New Zealand’s Definitions of Woman and Man Amendment Bill.

In incredible news, the European Parliament has voted overwhelmingly for "The Full Recognition Of Trans Women As Women." Even the center-right European People's Party voted for the declaration. It will form a foundation for their position at the UN Commission on the Status of Women. Our latest.

European Parliament Votes Overwhelmingly For "The Full Recognition Of Trans Women As Women"

The resolution, though nonbinding, is a significant shot at those who seek to erode transgender rights on the continent.

Every happy, successful trans person is a conservative policy failure. We must not just survive but also thrive despite all their attempts to stop it. Live your lives accordingly.

Even though it’s unenforceable, as of today it is illegal to prescribe puberty blockers to a trans child in Aotearoa. We now know that the Ministry recommended against this, that no one asked for it, and no one thought it was a good idea except for cabinet. This ban is a stain on our history.

For context, these were due to be published in March 2025. The NZ govt prevented their publication because they intended to ban puberty blockers and the guidelines show they are safe, effective, and standard care internationally. Today they were released in an OIA putting them in the public domain.
