Gender Ideology in New Zealand

William McGimpsey on X

"The Inflection Point NZ conference is about to get underway. There’s probably around 100 or so protesters outside - they’ve been throwing excrement at attendees. Smells terrible outside. Unbelievable degeneracy.

First speaker is Mia Hughes, joining via video link. Mia is giving the conference an overview of the WPATH files - describing the horrific harms that so-called gender-affirming care causes and the inability for mentally ill children to properly understand them and consent.  

Important fact: NZ has ten times the number of children on puberty blockers than the UK does, on a per capita basis.

Mia describes how the elite consensus around gender-affirming care is a manufactured one - based on circular citation, extreme bullying and exclusion of critics by radical trans activists and their supporters, and a lack of serious interrogation by mainstream media. 
 
Speaker 2: Katherine Chua - Katherine told the conference about her difficulties in raising concerns with her children’s school about the RSE curriculum. The school tried to silence her. In closing he implored the conference to not to take part in the lie. Courageous woman.
 
Speaker 3: Bob McCoskrie - Bob gave the conference a potted history of gender ideology, tracing it back to the gay marriage bill - where the gender requirement in law was first dropped. He describes how it has seeped into the culture and particularly the education system over time, targeting younger and younger children.

He also gave an overview of polling on the issue, showing we really are at an inflection point with gender ideology, with parents and the wider community firmly against it and willing to push back…importantly, the opposition to gender ideology is growing over time.

Bob closed by saying that with the release of the WPATH files, the Cass Report and other recent developments, we’re now winning the science war, but now it’s time to encourage one another to speak up so we can win the culture war.

Speaker 4: NZ First MP Tanya Unkovich briefly addressed the conference, thanking the attendees for their bravery and saying that NZ First is willing to listen to ordinary NZ’ers voices. 
 
Speaker 5: Kellie-Jay Keen aka Posie Parker spoke via video link - she regaled the group with the story of her now infamous event in Auckland’s Albert Park.

Quote: “History isn’t made by the brave or courageous, it’s made by people who simply show up.” - we have to show up!

Kellie-Jay implored the group to bury unimportant differences and stand together on the things that matter. The truth will out.

Speaker 6: Ro Edge - Ro talked about males competing in female sport and asked how this happened. It started, she said, with the corruption of our language - repetition of falsehoods until they are believed, like “trans women are women”.

However, the future is looking hopeful - more and more sporting bodies are now implementing guidelines to prevent biological males from competing in womens sports. She called for this to be made standard across all community sports.

Quote: “We play sports with our bodies, not our identities.” 
 
Speaker 7: Jennifer Bilek joined via videoconference to give a presentation on some of the influences driving gender ideology.

She argued that there is a “medical industrial complex” that is seeking to exploit the LGBTQ movement to open up new markets for medical and pharmacological interventions around human reproduction.

A very interesting and provocative presentation.

Speaker 8: Pastor Brian Tamaki - Brian warned the conference that gender ideology is arguably worse in NZ than elsewhere. He called it a David and Goliath situation. Gender ideology is a Goliath, a satanic movement, with tentacles reaching into all corners of society.

He warned about the collapse of Christian values paving the way for its takeover, and encouraged us to stand up like David and cut the head off the monster. 
 
Speaker 9: Rachel Stewart - following Brian’s speech Rachel kicked off with:“You’ve had the Christians, now you get the heathens.”

Rachel talked about how TERF is a derogatory word used to shut down conversation. She recounted her story of being cancelled for opposing gender ideology. Including the time she was mass reported to police by trans activists for a joking Twitter post, that resulted in Police turning up at her house and confiscating her firearms. (She got them back.)

She closed by saying that if she had to do it all over again, she would, that she was proud to stand beside Christians like Brian Tamaki on the issue, and implored the conference - “let’s go out there and change this.” 
 
Speaker 10: Jan Rivers - Jan said that we should respect everyone’s civil rights, including trans people, but that what trans activists are demanding are not normal civil rights - medical treatment for which there is no evidence, and a forced recognition of self-perceived gender identity.

She said that gender ideology was a clear and present danger to our society, that it was resulting in sex-based rights being taken away, and that conscientious and well informed dissenters are being deliberately intimidated into silence.

She described how the ideology was corrupting our public service, and worming its way into professional associations which are being targeted, captured and used to enforce ideological conformity across entire professions.

She also criticised the influence of rainbow advocacy groups like InsideOUT and Rainbow Tick, which are using standover tactics and intimidation.

In closing, she gave us all encouragement by noting that ordinary people are waking up and organising. 
 
Speaker 11: Di Landy - Di opened by saying that gender ideology was never part of Maori culture. She said that the idea of being “born in the wrong body” is in direct conflict with Maori spirituality and tradition.

She pointed to the Insidious trend of gender ideologues trying to appropriate and use Maori culture for their own ends, something she likened to colonisation.

She was highly critical of the project many leftists, academics and others seem engaged in of weaving together Maori language and culture with wokeism and diversity, equity and inclusion. 
 
Next we heard from Mel, a detransitioner, about her experience and the physical and mental scars it has left.

An incredibly brave and moving personal story. I can’t describe this with any justice in a tweet - you had to be there.

Thank you for sharing Mel. 
 
Final speaker: Former National MP Simon O’Connor - Simon spoke to us about Cultural Marxism, and how it aims for the revolutionary overthrow of all aspects of our shared life and culture.

He talked to us about the inherent narcissism and violence in Cultural Marxism, the assault on language.

He talked to us about how politicians think:
- They don’t like ethical discussions.
- They’re just as fearful as ordinary kiwis about being cancelled.
- They desire attention and mainstream media gives it to them. The media only elevate the voices of politicians who are saying what they agree with.
- MPs are part of a wider system - permissiveness pervades everything.
- MMP has resulted in more power being vested in party leaders - they decide the views and other MPs follow along. As a result there are fewer MPs with independent voices.
- Politicians are human. It’s better to engage rationally with them than abuse them, but ultimately if you disagree with them, get better politicians and get involved yourself! 
 
…and that’s a wrap. What an incredible conference. Well done to the Inflection Point NZ team!"
