A trans man attacked his stepfather because the stepfather refused to accept his trans identity. He bit off his stepfather’s ears, gouged out his eyes, and raped him. The victim jumped off a balcony while totally blind in his attempt to escape. This is the pain that misgendering can cause!

The tiny bird is found only in the Chatham Islands, 800km east of mainland New Zealand. Called kakaruia in Māori and karure in Morirori – the language indigenous to the Chathams – the birds are also fondly known as the “goth” of New Zealand’s bird world, for its striking black plumage, black eyes and a little pointy black beak.
