The transgender agenda sunk Kamala.
It’s NZ’s time to also vote down the harmful transgender ideology. But there’s a Minister (or two) in the way.
It’s now official.
One of the key reasons Kamala Harris was defeated by Donald Trump wasn’t just because she was a terrible candidate, obsessed with killing the unborn child in the womb, but she promoted transgenderism – the false notion that you can choose and change your sex.
And Americans weren’t buying it. Even Democrats are admitting that now.
But the NZ media won’t let you know about this outcome – but we will.
The real issue is – when will NZ see the light on this issue, and how can we turn that spotlight on!
This advertisement is believed to be the one that swung the election in Trump’s favour.
Have a watch
Now Kamala was given the opportunity to respond to her policy and this advertisement – by FOX News of all outlets, I don’t think a left wing outlet would have challenged her on the policy, they loved it.
But did Kamala tone down the radical nature of her policy and its implications. Nope. She dug deeper. She ducked, she dived, she diverted from the question. Have a watch

Meanwhile, across town, the candidate who all women were instructed to hate, was winning a roomful of women with a common sense policy and approach to all this madness
VIDEO
Well, the votes are in and we know who won, and we know who lost.
Kamala lost. Women won. (Unborn children also won).
Even the politicians – the Democrats are admitting that the transgender policy was problematic.
But even more incredible is that the left wing media are admitting it – the Washington Post – and also MSNBC – you can’t get more radical left than those two outlets.

Now not all left wing media are that bright. Jen Psaki who used to the White House spokesperson for President Biden says – well it’s an issue. But not that much of an issue.
Have a watch.
The funny thing is that the images at the start show the radical examples and contradict what she’s saying.
But her argument is that there’s not many examples. The problem is that there is – but when competitors or teams speak up, they get labelled transphobic, and as was the example of some football teams in Australia and the US, they get suspended for expressing concerns.

In the clip of Trump with the roomful of women, he referenced Blaire Fleming, a San Jose State University (SJSU) volleyball player. A dude. Fleming has been cited as the reason four schools have forfeited matches against SJSU so far this season because of safety concerns. Most recently he went viral for spiking a ball and hitting another player forcefully in the face. Even the broadcaster noted the woman's pink face after she was hit.
Yep – trans sports was the sleeper issue
The United Nations recently revealed that a staggering 900 medals have been robbed from women by trans athletes around the world, in 29 different sports. This is a disgusting, systematic global abuse of women’s rights.
Yes I bet you didn’t hear about that report from the mainstream media eh
We all know what the media think about helping our children change their sex and trying to be transgender. For the past decade they have promoted the whole issue. In fact, back in 2013 and 2015, I was on 1News expressing concern for the trend – but getting rubbished for it

We also published two reports warning of the consequences – Boy Girl Other and Children Transitioning
We can see the same common sense return to NZ also.
A poll earlier this year has found strong support for a ban on puberty blockers, and also support for a ban on the use of ‘gender affirmation’ chemical & surgical treatment for under-18s. In the poll of 1,000 New Zealanders commissioned by Family First and surveyed by Curia Market Research, respondents were asked a number of questions around gender ideology and the treatment of children who experience gender confusion.
Respondents were asked: The UK health service (the NHS) has stopped the use of puberty blockers, which begin the gender transition process, for children under 16 as it deemed they are too young to consent. Do you support or oppose a similar ban in New Zealand on the use of puberty blockers for young people 16 or younger?
Almost two out of three (62%) respondents support banning puberty blockers for children aged 16 or younger, with just 19% opposed. A further 19% were unsure or refused to say. Opposition to puberty blockers has grown since Dec 2020 when a similar poll showed 51% support for a ban and 28% opposition.
The NHS in the UK now states “Puberty blockers are not available to children and young people for gender incongruence or gender dysphoria because there is not enough evidence of safety and clinical effectiveness.” Recent comparisons have found that the prescription of puberty blockers in New Zealand is more than ten times as frequent than in the UK.
In July 2022, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in the US issued a warning label about the risk of puberty blockers after six minors (ages 5-12) experienced severe symptoms. The minors, who were all biologically female, suffered from symptoms of “pseudotumor cerebri” (tumor-like masses in the brain), including visual disturbances (seeing bright lights that aren’t there), headache or vomiting, papilledema (swelling of the optic nerve), increased blood pressure, and abducens neuropathy (eye paralysis).
Second question. Respondents were also asked: Some people have proposed banning puberty blockers, cross-sex hormones, and physical sex-change surgeries for children under the age of 18 who identify as transgender. Would you support or oppose this kind of ban?
A majority (53%) of respondents support banning puberty blockers, cross-sex hormones and physical sex-change surgeries for children under the age of 18m, with just 24% opposed. 23% were unsure or refused to say.
Respondents were then asked: If a young person says they want to change their gender, should the treatment be primarily based on providing puberty blockers and cross-sex hormones, or should the treatment primarily focus on dealing with the gender dysphoria and any other underlying mental health issues.
A majority (53%) of respondents think treatment of young persons who want to change their gender should primarily focus on mental health treatment rather than chemical treatment. Only 10% support chemical treatment being the primary focus and 37% are unsure or refused to say.
That’s been our argument all along – just as we would deal with anorexia nervosa where a girl may think she’s severely overweight when she is actually dangerously skinny and malnourished. We heal the mind – not cut and chemicalise the body.
The CASS review which we’ve discussed a lot recently said “The reality is that we have no good evidence on the long-term outcomes of interventions to manage gender-related distress… The evidence we do have for gender medicine is built on “shaky foundations.”
It also said that “Young people facing gender-related distress had no significantly different levels of suicide risk to other young people with similar levels of complex presentations” and that there was “No evidence that gender-affirming treatment reduces suicide risk.”
Now what about the RSE programme in school
Only 15% think primary age children should be taught they can choose their gender and that it can be changed through hormone treatment and surgery if they want it to be, while two out of three (69%) say they shouldn’t. Opposition to gender ideology has grown significantly from a similar poll in 2019 where only 54% said children should not be taught this, and 35% said they should.
However, there was a split over whether sex ed should be in schools at all. 44% of respondents support prohibiting teaching sexual issues at primary school, with 40% opposed. The difference is not statistically significant – and suggests that age appropriateness is the key.
The poll also asked: Do you think the taxpayers should fund surgery or hormone treatments for adults who wish to change their gender? Only 16% of respondents support taxpayers funding gender change surgery or hormone treatments, with 68% opposed.
Labour’s budget in 2022 included an additional $2.2 million for gender affirming care and $2.5 million to train GPs in advising trans youth. They had previously pledged $3 million over four years in their 2019 budget.
This is not the first time we have commissioned polling on these issues – which is why we’ve been able to notice the trend towards rejecting this ideology as time has progressed. The general public are seeing the harms and confusion of this ideology on our children. Here’s some other previous ones.
In terms of sports participation, a 2023 poll found that just 13% of respondents agree that “boys who identify as girls be allowed automatic right of access to girls sports teams such as netball or girls rugby or football (and vice versa)” (dropping significantly from 39% in a similar poll in 2018) and two in three (68%) disagree (rising significantly from 39% in 2018).
A 2021 poll found that only 22% of respondents think boys who identify as girls should be allowed automatic access to girls toilets and changing rooms and almost two in three (61%) disagree – much stronger opposition than in a similar poll in 2019 found that 46% v 36% said that biological sex should trump gender identity.
In a 2022 poll, respondents were asked - “The Ministry of Education tells teachers that schools do not have to disclose to parents that their child is identifying as transgender in class and using a different name and preferred pronouns. Would you support a law requiring schools to notify parents if their child is identifying as transgender in class?” A majority (55%) would support a parental notification-type law, with only 29% opposed. A further 16% were unsure or refused to say.
A nationwide poll last year found significant opposition to a decision which resulted in a teacher losing his teaching licence for refusing to recognise a student’s gender ‘identity’ and using the students preferred pronouns. Only 16% of respondents think a teacher should lose their teaching licence for misgendering a trans student – with 65% opposed.

It seems pretty clear that the politicians have the weight of public support to correct this confusing and harmful ideology and to protect our children – and to acknowledge the truth of biology.
Part of the problem is that the government minister responsible for making a call on this issue is National MP Matt Doocey.
This Matt Doocey
This Matt Doocey
Yes he’s more interested in transphobia and rainbow communities than the wellbeing of young people being protected from confusing and harmful gender ideology, and the chemicalisation and confusion of being told they can change their sex. And he tries to minimize the clear conclusions of the CASS review. He argues there’s not enough evidence. There’s no evidence, Matt!
We have a Kamala in the house. We have Democrats pushing this nonsense. It’s Matt Doocey along with the Greens and Labour.
It's time we put first-do-no-harm medicine and credible research ahead of ideology and an agenda to push gender fluidity indoctrination.
It’s time we had watchful waiting, therapy, and healing of the mind rather than chemicals, castration and confusion.
The Americans have voted and it’s clear. Gender ideology is on its way out. The bubble has burst.
Biology is winning.
It’s time to make the bubble burst in New Zealand also and send the transgender agenda packing.
On the upside Bob, the fact that they are promoting such rubbish is that Trans Genderism will eventually un-breed itself to extinction???
It’s very important that the transgender nonsense is not taught in schools otherwise more children will become confused about their gender. Parents also have a right to know if their child has gender dysphoria at school so they can care for their child effectively.
