NZ Women's Suffrage Day, the Midwifery Council’s revised Scope of Practice, and Surrogacy in NZ.
I talk with a bevy of terfs - Jill Ovens, national secretary and co-leader of the NZ Women's Rights Party; Di Landy, co-founder of Mana Wāhine Kōrero; Deb Hayes, a midwife who initiated a petition against the NZ Midwifery Council's revised Scope of Practice after they omitted the words 'mother' and 'baby' from it; and Robin Jones, a retired midwife who also has no truck with the revised Scope of Practice, and tells us about what happens to the body and a brain of a woman who identifies as a man after mega-dosing on testosterone.
Suffrage Day in NZ is 19th Sept. On this day in 1893, women won the right to vote. Some celebratory activities were held in Auckland, Wellington, and Christchurch. There is an intention to upscale these.
Oral submissions against the NZ Midwifery Council's revised Scope of Practice were made by midwife Deb Hayes, and Mana Wāhine Kōrero (represented by co-founder Dianne Landy, and Sarah Henderson).
Surrogacy in NZ has been under review to relax the laws around it, but it doesn't appear that will happen. Further recommendations to tighten up the birth mother's rights and welfare have been suggested.

    Thank you so much ,ladies ,for this brilliant conversation . It's yet more evidence of the men's rights movement's attempts to erase women from life and law and the saddest and most puzzling thing about it is that so many women support it . Can they really NOT see this for what it is ,misogyny in steroids ? It seems to me that there is an enormous amount of ENVY of women's reproductive capabilities ,mostly driven by men in dresses, and they WON'T allow us to own anything exclusively for FEMALES . They've already tried to take ALL of our names. like woman , mother etc ,they claim ALL of our female bodily functions like menstruation and breastfeeding for themselves ,they won't allow us to have women only clubs or meetings of any kind without men,and now they want to actually erase us from the pregnancy and childbirth process by rendering us invisible !! It's despicable and of course one of the main reasons behind ALL of this is the TRANSHUMAN agenda. I ,too am a retired midwife ( Scottish) with 43 years practice behind me and I shudder to think what might be happening to my former profession here at home. More of the same ,probably. How can ANY WOMAN or MIDWIFE support ANY of this ? They're also trying to abolish the word " midwife "and replace it with " birth attendant " as if we were just companions rather than professionals !! Keep fighting ,ladies the SANE world is with you. Thank you very much. X

    As a retired midwife. Thank you for this. When I trained at AUT, it was drilled into us that 'midwife' meant 'with woman.' In other thoughts, this could get dangerous. What if a man identifies as a woman, demands to be assessed and a midwife comes face to face with a fallicd (or not) outie. Or the 'uncle' you mention wants to be 'assessed' as part of the decision making.

      If there’s any consultation, it’s carefully orchestrated to be with the women who will agree with whatever policy is being proposed. I’ve encountered this with the Christchurch City Council who consulted with the likes of the Ministry for Women and the National Council of Women about allowing men who say they’re women into women’s spaces. Both those organisations are transactivist-captured.

    • @katrinabiggs6672
      @katrinabiggs6672 Місяць тому

      The Law Commission refrained from establishing a clear definition in their review, deferring that until after a decision had been made about whether or not 'gender' would be put into law. They only give a vague description in the review, which says - "We use the composite phrase ‘transgender or non-binary’ to refer to people whose gender identity is different to their sex assigned at birth, including those whose gender identity is neither male nor female. This reflects the fact that some people who are non-binary consider themselves to be transgender or trans, but others do not. It is also consistent with the letter of referral from the Minister of Justice that initiated this review."

I believe I have seen something about a Caucasian man who says he’s a woman wearing a hijab, but I doubt he’s got the cojones to actually try and crash the women’s section in a mosque.
