Dr ELIZABETH KEREKERE (Green): It is with great pleasure that after generations of systemic discrimination and decades of community activism, the Green Party is proudly here today to maintain our long-stated policy that takatāpui, trans, intersex, and non-binary people should be able to self-identify their gender on their birth certificate, so that all New Zealanders can have documents of identity that reflect who they are. Ngā mihi ki a Minister Jan Tinetti for bringing this bill into the House, after it has been stalled for so long. We acknowledge there are many other aspects to this bill, but we are focusing on legal gender recognition tonight.
