Taking the PCB's to task for transphobia

While a Bill which would guarantee sexual and gender minorities equity in (among other things) education, employment and housing - something that 84% of Kiwis agree should be law - sits languishing on the order paper, the Coalition of Delusion has managed to cut sex education. There's always been strong opposition to this reform, so it's not dissimilar to drug laws. Gender expression was a topic of discussion when the Human Rights Act was initially drafted, and one of the things that I want to discover via the documentary is what happened, and why it wasn't included. I think it's because people treat trans people as objects. They're more comfortable with us as images on a screen, or as people they visit when they're drunk and horny. The idea of trans people with respectable jobs frightens the straights that blame us for the low birth rates. Believe me, if birth rates are the problem, The Perfumed Garden has the answers. There's also a sense of embarrassment. Everyone's taken aback by my revolution, and thought that there was something wrong with me for being Italian. PCBs = Politically Correct Bigots.
