I already read Unherd :-)
I'm maintaining a watching brief.
Swap sides? Now? I could end up on the wrong side! :-)
Visubversa cites ducks, weka; ferrets and mermaids. And it's not yet 9.
Traveller wrote: "The research examined school effectiveness; it makes no claims about 'why' because that isn't its purpose." Then why are you promoting vouchers? Did the Business Roundtable suggest them? You've quoted them extensively in your comments.
The human ones.
Truancy won't be arrested. Seymour will change the way truancy is defined.
These ones tasted exceptionally good. If you ever get the chance, try Wood Blewits; they're excellent, as are Velvet Shanks. Both grow here (and, I suspect, In Ōtepoti).
I agree entirely, Grey Area; I was just making a trans logic joke - or something like that. I believe humans have, can and will transcend their biological selves, by exercising choice, discretion, kindness and forgiveness.
And we all know, you can't change biology; we can pretend we're herbivores; dress as herbivores, hang out in paddocks and act like herbivores, but we never can be, coz nature made us omnivores :-)
David writes: "If woman are concerned about transwomen in women’s spaces, then it’s a discussion for women to have." which begs the question, "Why does David comment so regularly on this issue?
"... kind, caring, inclusive and modern..." The Business Roundtable to a T.
Today, I saw and picked a handful of Lawyer's Wig (Coprinus comatus) mushrooms, brought them home, cooked and ate them. They were delicious! Tomorrow, I plan to hunt-for, gather, dehydrate and store, Larch boletes and Peppery boletes, which I'll add to ...
weka - your comment @ 11 April 2024 at 12:26 pm "What’s meant here is TRA logic. It’s an ideological belief set and political movement that uses circular logic. it’s a mistake to see TRA = trans or vice versa." seems to be, at last, addressing my original ...
I asked David to explain his claim, as it seemed to me he was quite wrong in making it. You suggested I do my own research. I chose rather, to ask David; I still can't see the error in that. Perhaps, weka, you could explain why directing a question about a...
Yep, that's them: https://dark-mountain.net Agree with your quote.
Just wondering, weka, how many "Robert Guyton to weka" comments have been ... unlikely. If there were no "Robert Guyton to weka" comments, a person...
That's unkind. I'd like a second (mod) opinion, please.
weka! " It’s dishonest." Are you accusing me of dishonesty?
"possibly the wrong quote," she says, breezily... Certainly the wrong quote and to me, it matters.
Thanks, Drowsy, I appreciate your courage in joining the fray. If you're happy, I'll quote and add my responses in italics. "It appears that you have been given three options/characterisations to choose from, none of which seem particularly appealing:" It ...
I addressed my request to David, in response to a claim he made. Still waiting for his response, though not holding my breath. You may conclude whatever you wish. I'm hanging out for David's reply.

Go on then, give it a whirl!
Well, Drowsy, you could ask.
Are you covering for David?
So weka, you won't or can't provide one single quote to back your assertion? Come on. You wrote: "Any belief you hold in this conversation today" Okay. "Drowsy M.Kram posed an interesting question".
David wrote: "Transwomen could always organise their own spaces..." Please expand on this claim, David. Perhaps with regard public toilets. Or changing rooms at public swimming pools. Cheers!
Nic - Drowsy has, I believe, posed a question that requires a suspension of belief, in order to uncover base motivations in those taking part in the thought experiment. Hunkering down and declaring that the proposal is impossible is a not-unexpected ...
weka - which of my beliefs are you referring to; ones I've stated, or those claimed by others on my behalf? A quoted example would suffice, please and thank you.
Made it to Select Committee. Isn't that what's promised with the referendum on Te Tiriti?
