To TVNZ and the Film Commission + Steve's arsehole mates in the media

Bluntly, Beyond Trans is a significantly better idea than Weeded Out. What do we need to win trans rights? Visibility for all trans* groups. What does Weeded Out provide? One magic trannie and a bunch of straights. Therefore, a documentary that is premised around the visibility gap and Debbie's Bill is simply the best film, both politically and based on my solid track record as a journalist. - What about the crews? Buy the script off me and rewrite. Plus Beatles in NZ will end up hiring lots of them. That was a half-hearted suggestion, but people assure me Peter's very keen. Think of the Peter and Fran that brought you Heavenly Creatures, not King Kong. Amanda's Fables would also hire plenty of crew. - You could always just invent your own gay drama. I highly recommend that solution. None of you can deny that Mr. Barr blackmailed/sextorted me. Acknowledge that you enabled his hate crime. You can't settle with me. I won't star. If you keep pushing, the police will push back. The overdose means that all of you may face criminal harassment charges. That will result in a hefty fine + damages. If you back down and do the hui, then the damages are limited to smaller amounts. If you don't, $150,000 max fine + damages + 1-2 years in jail. That's particularly aimed at Paul Thompson, who is the head of RNZ and Steve's mate. Jail or settle. You have no other choices. The offending was significant, and didn't abate after previous suicidal episodes. My overdose was a predictable consequence of the actions that you either took or enabled.

I'd ask the police to read the RNZ headlines and headline stories for a few days, and then see if they're noticing any scare quotes or poorly worded phrases that might have been meant to trigger me. After I gave y'all that information about the sissy porn, I'm sure that investigators should be able to interpret how those lines are causing me distress. I don't need proof for a charge - just proof of subjective distress. Mr. Thompson needs to understand that the harassment laws have changed, thanks to his Beehive mates. Mr. Goldsmith wished to protect victims. I'm the victim, not RNZ or Mr. Barr. - Those laws were intended to catch me 'harassing' Mr. Luxon at Question Time, but they're perfect for…

I've never met Paul, but he was a TVNZ guy when Steve was head of programming, or whatever his job title was. He has to leave. That's my message to the RNZ executive. He leaves. You apologise. Then I might return. You need me more than I need you. You need a token trans journalist. You also need to allow me to work day shifts, and apologise for '22/'23. I will win this harassment case, and you damn well know it. That's why he has to resign. Like Andrew Coster, he'll walk away rich.
