I'm a former journalist who's made every effort to approach this bill as objectively and as impartially as I possibly could. I've not listened to hyperbole and I've not been swayed by hysteria. What I have done is met with every single group and person who has asked me. I've read every single email that has been sent to me. I've read websites. Some, like the parents of transgender and gender-diverse children—and I've conscientiously listened to every single view offered to me. I've heard loud and clear the concern from some groups that allowing people to change the sex on their birth certificate, according with how they self-ID, will lead to an increase of male-bodied people in changing rooms or bathrooms. So, in front of this House, I give my assurance that while I hold a seat on the Governance and Administration Committee, I'll ensure your voice is heard. For that, I might be called a TERF—a trans-exclusionary radical feminist—but I'd like to assure this House that I am neither exclusionary nor radical. But some of the vitriol that I have seen online has been nothing short of vile. There is no place in New Zealand for the abuse that I've seen coming from some quarters and it needs to stop because nobody wins, least of all those who are publishing it.
