Excellent video from @aniobrien on activists' empty claims of "harm" from defining sex in law. You know what does cause harm? The global torrent of violence against women and girls.

I keep hearing about the “harm” the Definitions Bill is doing and I have a few questions…

Important piece from @aniobrien on the importance of a unifying national narrative that brings us together. Ani seems to be filling a gap in the nation's public intellectualism that has been eschewed by the less principled voices.

I suspect Lloyd Burr called Maiki a h*ri and also AniOBrien is a sneaky disingenous cow. Maiki was the one who was wise to what Kiri Tamihere was up to while everyone else was floundering about TPM, this feels like a loss. Grrr.

Following months of death threats & public safety concerns for themselves & family, Green MP Benjamin Doyle leaves NZ parliament. Sadly for Doyle many voices, already primed to hate differences, brayed as one, when Free Speech Union's Ani O'Brien amplified false accusations 🧵
Ani O'Brien @aniobrien quoting Benjamin Doyle's valedictory speech: "This place is hostile and toxic, especially if you are not a cis straight white man," Ani O'Brien then says: "says the "cis" straight white man cosplaying at not being a "cis" straight white man." She was quote tweeting, Suit and tie X account @Suitandtie, "Benjamin Doyle using his valedictory speech to lash out at pretty much everyone. Green MP's now wiping away tears, ... "

Is suing #WinstonPeters, #AnioBrien, #ChantalBaker #ThePlatform an option? Or charging them with inciting violence against #BenDoyle?

I’ve had time to sit with Doyle’s resignation. What stands out is not only the volume of abuse but the moment abusive narratives were legitimised by mainstream (senior) political actors. That’s when harm scales, and institutions often fall quiet. Some thoughts 🧵

FYI #NZPol This is propaganda from Ani O'Brien founding member of Free Speech Union & current FSU council member & known anti-trans campaigner. The real story 5 UK MPs responded 4 yes trans women are women & 1 no comment 54 have not. O'Brien does not tell her audience this fact nor links the article
In this image, founding member of New Zealand's Free Speech Union and current council member of FSu, and known anti-transgendered campaigner Ani O'Brien, shares a screenshot of a Pink News media headline to her X account, @aniobrien), which reads, "We asked Labour's 59 LGBTQ+ MPs if they think trans women are women just four replied saying yes" O'Brien posits this headline as a win, claiming silenced gay, lesbian and bisexual UK MPs feel safe to speak up now (since UK court ruling re women & equalities act). Her tweet reads, "See what happens when LGBs feel they can tell the truth. Maybe the NZ media & our handwringing straight MPs could take a look at this & realise maybe I'm not the extremist. The likes of the Green Party are." However O'Brien does not link to the article itself. If she did her audience would have learned only 5 of the 59 UK gay, bi and lesbian MPs replied to the LGBQTi media outlet's question. Four in support of trans women being women, and the remaining respondent replying with 'no comment'. Nothing WRATH has seen in this article supports O'Brien's assertion, "see what happens when LGB's feel they can tell the truth". The Pink News article does not provide any evidence or position that would support O'Brien's statement that she is 'not an extremist' (anti-transgender extremist). WRATH will still consider her such.

Does her feminist solidarity end at shared political beliefs?

In her mind is that why no-one stood up for her when she experienced gender-based harassment and violence?

#nzpol
Ani O'Brien @ @aniobrien • 17/03/21 “About a month ago I jumped on a bus just to get from Manners St to Parliament. At bus stop a man said sexually explicit things to me. I ignored him but he followed me onto the bus. After a few mins he walked past where I was sitting & slapped my inner thigh & ran off the bus” “I shouted "hey!" & people around me looked shocked at what he had done but no one said or did anything. I didn't really know what to do either. I just got off at my stop. I was upset. I felt like I should tell someone but I thought people would think I was overreacting.”

Is she really critical of feminists who stand by when a man was repeatedly abusive to a woman and facilitated the ongoing harassment of that woman?

#nzpol
Ani O'Brien @aniobrien • 25/09/23 “Difficult to see a woman celebrated as a feminist when she stood by when a man was repeatedly abusive to a woman and facilitated the ongoing harassment of that woman. Feminist when it suited.”
