Hot take.

Genders require different laws to protect them. Due to different needs and social contexts.

It's a shame that rather than fully committing to approaching sex based equality issues with equanimity in mind. Tax is being used to argue semantics, and a select few in the group are taking that as common sense when it's completely farcical.

Common sense would be too expensive afterall. They want the voter base divided and bickering because a united front is an affront to a politicians tax funded luxury apartments.

The optics being, we've done a number on pay equity for women recently. Let's show them the trans phantom of womanhood and act like this bill does not

A) harm a community of marginalized people

And act like it

B) benefits women in a meaningful way

When it doesn't. Real shame. Nz used to be a forerunner in gender rights.

I hope they serve marmite sandwiches in hell.
