"Egavangenitalism," It sure is, and watching NZ going from a secular society to one to adhere to an ideology, esp in state institutions, is a interesting development. It's why UK will call for an inquiry how that happened. It might happen in NZ too, but ...

Thanks for that added info SPC, obviously pressure for fair play in women's sport has resulted in some common sense measure. "Notably absent from Biden’s policy, however, is any mention of transgender athletes. The administration originally planned to ...

Thanks Drowsy M. Kram, I think Forest & Bird will need it and will use it wisely. Though with the Fast Track Bill you can't even go to court any longer to stop a project.
I agree with Anker too. Heaps of reading material ... Thanks to Weka and The Standard in its efforts to the why and what is the so called "affirmation model" promoted to children and young adults.
