The most famous victim of his experiments https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Reimer
"Money argued that media response to Diamond's exposé was due to right-wing media bias"
I continue to be amazed how every alleged childcare scandal is always a right-wing media conspiracy theory - until it's exposed as an actual, real-life, sickening child-abuse scandal which as gone on for years.

The famously right wing British communist party has just spoken out about the lunacy of self id etc https://www.spiked-online.com/2023/03/30/why-capitalism-loves-transgenderism/
One of the reasons I never got into J K Rowlings work was because the only times I ever heard anything about her was when she was being a nauseatingly preachy leftie who was all for things like open borders and retconned one of her main characters into being gay as a troll.
Apparently now she's far right because she opposes self id.
Whatever she said in the past I have a huge amount of respect for her not caving to the mob on this and I enjoy seeing trans activists making a big deal about burning Harry Potter merch they already paid for and getting their Harry Potter related tattoos removed. Apparently getting them removed is far more painful than the actual tattoo.
Guy Pearce on the other hand sent out a press release this week with a grovelling apology that looked like a forced confession from a captured american bomber pilot during the Veit Nam war

I say open it up. Women are enabling this BS so let them deal with the consequences.
I think you are very correct. It might help them come to there senses.

@antipodean well, as far as I know, in the media, there's only one person that is openly questioning Leah Thomas's involvement. You would think if they really thought it was unfair, with conviction, they would've en masse not raced her to make a statement. Perhaps it is behind the scenes but their silence indicates timidity to me.

That’s a pathetic response.
God defend New Zealand because it’s beyond that idiot.
He went full Sturgeon, everybody knows you never go full Sturgeon.
I do wonder what cretins like him thought when they were watching “that scene “ in the Crying Game? “
“ yep everything seems perfectly normal…….wait I don’t understand, why is he so angry?” -
Absolute clown world

He’s apparently single at the moment so his dating life is going to be interesting I guess .
He hasn't worked out in his own mind yet what a woman is? Fuck me.
A member of that class of political animal convinced of both their own superior morality and the wilful ignorance of those who disagree.

What do these guys think is going to happen if they answer "adult human female"?
Are they genuinely that scared of <1% of their voting base?
He’s been trying to portray himself as “Chippy from the block “ a down to earth working class boy from the hutt who’s focused on bread and butter issues .
It only took one question to remind everyone he’s a career politician who’s completely immersed in politics and utterly out of touch with the general population.Massive , massive own goal on his part .

I don’t follow local news that closely.. did Hipkins answer get much coverage? Or did the local media just ignore it?
No coverage on Newshub, the Herald or stuff.
Sean Plunkett who asked Hipkins the question managed to get himself permanently suspended from twitter today and they are all covering that though .
Hipkins is trending either first or second on Twitter here though . He was thrashwanking today about criticism of Ardern being misogynist and then couldn’t say what a woman is. This is basically impossible to parody now.

Was speaking to my parents over the weekend.
Despite being pretty up to speed on NZ events, neither of them had any idea of the violence against Nana's at the Trans rally in Auckland.
So you can be pretty sure that him coming across like a moron here won't be coverage. Yet, if he'd said something that could vaguely be offensive to trans .... well, watch the shit fly.

It has international traction now, but still our media determines it's not news worthy despite how much utterly stupid shit they report on. I just hate that I have absolutely zero trust in our media now. They are just the fucking worst.

After the white supremacist symbol which turned out to be doing up a zip nothing surprises me anymore.
In contrast when Chris Luxon used the phrase “bottom feeders “ it was used as an out of context headline , there was articles in all the media outlets and follow up op eds in all of them condemning him .
They really do have their thumb on the scale , Hipkins made an absolute fool of himself yesterday and the footage has been shared on every social media platform and the likes of J K Rowling who has millions of followers has shared it and taken the piss out of him . Yet not one of our mainstream media outlets has covered it . -
It's filtering through in my experience though. People that aren't closely following politics in my life are starting to ask about these sorts of topics.
Social media does spread these ideas past the gatekeeping press.
That non-answer from Hipkins is a slap in the face for all woman in NZ.
