When it comes to my war with Wellington, one of the constants has been that my enemies are too afraid to confront me. I'd say that augurs poorly for their defence that they're inclusive and trans-tolerant. Cassandra and James could have confronted me over my late-night singing using their words and expressing their displeasure in mediation. This would have been legal, while their decision to stalk me and attempt to rewrite me illegally wasn't legal. VUW could have done the same. For starters, neither Jake or I were current students, so it wasn't actually their business whether he assaulted me or not. Mr. Barr was willing to throw away his job at TVNZ over my spec script, yet he wasn't willing to acknowledge me as sole author or licence the script. He saw a mark - that's con man lingo - not a troubled creative with a brilliant script. He saw dollar signs, and I nearly ended up dead. That's not ok. - Their fears might have other names, but the fair and legitimate one is transphobia. A cisgender person would have been treated in the above manner. - In contrast, my entire campaign has been about getting people in the room, whether that be Ms. Swarbrick, Mr. Barr, the Film Commission or my right-wing enemies. The only reason this hasn't happened is transphobia. I'm articulate, well-educated, creative, and genuinely good at politics and media. Usually, politicians line the block waiting to talk to someone like me. RNZ seems convinced I've got the kaha to do what Mary or Kim Hill did. - AMPP plans to do an interview show, so perhaps some of my enemies might want to admit fault while being interviewed?
