        This MP is one of the most hated in NZ. This country took her in, fed, clothed and housed her and she hates us in return. She is a list MP and would never get into our parliament on her merits. #nzpol @NZStuffPolitics @nzherald @1NewsNZ @NewshubNZ

        I'm not even sure I follow this stuff any more. So the issue is that "trans women" are objecting when real women lesbians date only other real women? Isn't a lesbian a biological woman who prefers to date other biological females? So, "trans women" don't qualify, right? 🤔#nzpol

        Lol. Lost myself as well. So, there are women who date other women and are thus lesbians. Then there are also men who identify as women, and who date real women, and thus want to call themselves lesbians too. World's too complicated for me. Damn. #nzpol

        They do call themselves lesbians and when actual lesbians tell them “no” we are called transphobes/bigots/gross/vagina fetishists/genital obsessed etc. It’s homophobia packaged as “progressive”.

        Shit. Where does it stop? Will we see 'trans women' that are biological males, dating other biological males, and declaring that they're heterosexual? Wtf?

        So far they haven’t seemed brave enough to demand from heterosexual males but I suspect it is to come.

        😱Horrifying that a human rights lawyer and elected official should have such a shallow understanding of how lesbians are being treated and even worse to side with the attackers. Deplorable. Keep safe NZ women. You are not alone. ✊🏻

        And interestingly, gay men almost never get called out for not fucking trans men. That’s fairly rare ( although it’s becoming more common) This rapey and homophobic crap needs to stop.

        What an important story! It’s scary that government officials are openly persecuting lesbians. Thanks for calling out this abuse.

        A very brave piece Ani; kudos to you for mentioning what's fast becoming an elephant in the room. Ironic too that it was a lesbian MP who, just a few years ago, led the crusade for same-sex marriage.

        Wow, I feel sorry for trans people but cannot accept the notion that anyone should demand or have make an 'effort' to be attracted to trans people irrespective of their sexual preference. It's almost the same as grooming... you can't 'choose' who you're attracted to anyhow FFS!?!

        It is not "almost the same" - it is exactly the same. Please do not be confused and stop feeling sorry for predatory people. They always want you to feel sorry for them - that is a tactic.

        It's more actively aggressive than grooming tbh. Grooming uses a patient pace that gradually leads someone to *think* they're an active participant in their abuse. Which is what makes it so hard for victims to even accept that they're victims. This... is active bullying.

        Grooming is what's being done to youngsters across society in the current climate. Children are being sexualised, "genderised" when they should just be allowed to be children without even giving gender "roles" a thought. Our society is sick 🤒
