Seeing more and more anti-trans people blaming transgender people for the growing homophobia in the West. No Terfy McTerface, your gay friend isn't being called slurs on the street because of something I've done. It's because people like YOU are enabling the bigots and they are getting bolder.

I am not doing enough to promote the cause of hate speech laws and to promote the rights of trans, non binary and intersex people. We have to be smarter than our enemies - of which there are many. I promise to redouble my efforts.

Historically, 'decimated' has meant lose one tenth of. So it's probably more correct to say the Tories have been annihilated.

The FSU are massive transphobes. There is no concept of compelled speech in NZ. CHSA will be writing to the Council with our position. Ani and Ayling are both anti-trans. There is no pretence anymore. But Ayling keeps his powder dry by never uttering hate speech himself.

Apparently Brian Tamaki was on The Platform calling for homosexuality to be re-criminalised in New Zealand. What do you lesbian TERF cheerleaders think about that? Still think it’s good and cool to support him and his events? You’ll let leopards eat your face just to be mean to trans women.

Email adam@humanitix.com and josh@humanitix.com and ask them to stop acting as the ticketing supplier for this highly transphobic event. David Bell espouses conversion therapy like practices.

So just to bring everyone up to speed: (1) CAB New Plymouth cancelled a transphobic event (2) FSU are threatening legal action under BORA saying CAB take public funds (3) Our legal analysis is that this is a highly spurious claim. The FSU are so transphobic. They aren't about free speech.
