The number of people who tweet me acting as if they know me (usually don't even follow me) is quite extraordinary. I tweet primarily about politics & women's rights. Occasionally I tweet tidbits about my life, but mostly I comment on things, don't share personal details. I get constant tweets calling me names & casting aspersions on my character. I mute anyone who is abusive so I don't see a section of NZ Twitter but I get sent screenshots by wellmeaning people. I live rent free in these people's heads. Or a version of me they have invented does.

People seem to struggle to believe that schools would be transitioning kids without telling their parents in NZ. This is from just 1 resource recommended on MoE website. It misrepresents the Privacy Act. The Govt is promoting this. inclusive.tki.org.nz/guides/support… ImageImageImageImage This is the plan that this promoted in the resources supplied on the govt website. insideout.org.nz/wp-content/upl… ImageImageImage

🧵 I thought I’d share what i was going to read out at #LetWomenSpeakAuckland - some of it is abbreviated. 2/ What I write is unlikely to convince the rabid mob who are invested & committed to their narrative. Nonetheless, I write this for the much larger number of people on the periphery who may see their nonsense and accept it as truth without context.

Disgusted. The organisers of the mob (Max Tweedie & Shaneel Lal etc) who whipped up a frenzy must take responsibility & condemn those who assaulted KJK. The media who knowingly painted her as a Nazi, knowing she isn’t, are responsible too. You justified violence against her. The Police utterly failed. From the Green Party to Lal & Co they were clear they were going to bring violence. Where were the police? I am sickened by the violence that was enacted joyously today and I’m sickened that women cannot trust police to do their job.

🧵My personal take on the Drag Queen Story Time and the protest in Avondale.

1. I actually enjoy drag shows. Love RuPaul. Sure the jokes can be misogynistic at times but the same is true of many films, books, comedians etc. 2. In my opinion drag is adult entertainment. It’s full of sexual innuendo, sexualised costumes, adult themes etc. Even drag queen names are often pun-tastically rude.
