You aren’t wrong. But doing nothing is also not ok; demonstrating pushback and resistance can be by different routes.

What’s going on with all these gender bill submissions being rejected?
With over 40,000 public submissions made on the definition of a woman and man bill, questions remain over the number of rejections.

My god, Octavia Butler, just miss ONCE
 Page from a book saying:

From EARTHSEED: THE BOOKS OF THE LIVING
Choose your Leaders with wisdom and forethought.
To be led by a coward is to be controlled
by all that the coward fears.
To be led by a fool is to be led
by the opportunists who control the fool.
To be led by a thief is to offer up your most precious treasures to be stolen.
To be led by a liar
is to ask to be told lies.
To be led by a tyrant is to sell yourself and those you love into slavery.

New Zealand's Definitions of Woman and Man Bill and how the public can give submissions
Explainer - A new bill would define gender in the law, and there's a month to make public submissions on it. Here's how.

Ed Hyde @edhyde.bsky.social · 02/06/2026
“The law doesn't specify any changes to how people can identify their gender or speak about it, but because it gives a technical definition of gender, it could impact how courts interpret the law in the future.” This definition DOES NOT MEAN ANYTHING SCIENTIFICALLY! Don’t give it credibility!

Surprise! It costs money to guarantee a 3 day in-patient postnatal stay. Especially after decades of underinvestment. And, it turns out, you can’t replace midwives and postnatal nurses with AI.
