In February, we launched our Māori priorities at Waitangi, and we identified takatāpui rights as a Treaty issue. We did this because we understand a colonial history that brought missionaries to our country who immediately told us our enjoyment of sex was wrong, that any kind of sexual fluidity was wrong, any fluidity in gender identity was wrong. Along with trying to take away all of our language, all of our land, all of our resources, they also tried to steal that story and whakapapa from us. The fact that we are here today, and every time that I get to use the word takatāpui in this House, says that all of us since then continue to honour all of them.
