Fast forward to this century. In 2004, the first openly trans member of Parliament in the world, the legendary Georgina Beyer, had her member's bill drawn from the biscuit tin to specify gender identity in the Human Rights Act. The acting Solicitor-General at the time, however, concluded that trans people were already included in the sex section of the Act, so she withdrew it. The Human Rights Commission has maintained since then, and even before then, that that it is the correct position. However, gender expression is not included. After extensive consultation in 2017, the Human Rights Commission produced To Be Who I Am, Report of the Inquiry into Discrimination Experienced by Transgender People. It identified the lack of protection for trans people, whose documents of identity did not match their actual gender identity or expression. Unfortunately, though many of us cited it, the recommendations contained within were left to languish. Until, that is, in 2012 as a direct result, the Department of Internal Affairs amended their passport policy, allowing holders to select F, M, or X options for their sex, through a statutory declaration process with no requirement for medical evidence. In 2013, the New Zealand Transport Authority—you know, that radical department—followed suit, with options of male, female, and indeterminate. So, contrary to the ominous predictions and fearmongering of anti-trans lobbyists, no women's rights have been eroded since then, in changing rooms, bathrooms, or anywhere else. What has happened is that trans, intersex, and non-binary people have gained some more dignity in their lives.
