Transcript

00:00:00.000 I know that you're experiencing the exact same things that we are in the school system.
00:00:04.100 We have the same horrific stories and testimonies from parents.
00:00:08.280 And so how did you get started on this in New Zealand?
00:00:11.780 When and when and how did this come about?
00:00:14.140 Yeah, well, it's actually thank you for having me on.
00:00:16.360 And it's actually really interesting that you asked me that question because I started looking at it in 2022.
00:00:22.760 Obviously, I've been looking at the COVID stuff in 2021.
00:00:25.740 And then in 2022, we were trying to look at what the changes were coming in in sex education in schools in New Zealand.
00:00:32.620 And it wasn't very clear what was coming out.
00:00:34.740 But I actually looked to Canada and saw Canada and America, but mostly Canada, to see how bad it was in Canada and to know that it was coming down the pipeline and New Zealand was going to get it.
00:00:48.380 And I would say now, so that was 2022, 2023, and now we're in 2025, and New Zealand has caught up with where Canada is at.
00:00:57.420 And we currently have the highest number of children on puberty blockers per capita in the world.
00:01:03.720 Wow.
00:01:03.960 So it's blindsided us.
00:01:05.820 And so seeing what was coming through countries like Canada has been awful but helpful to sort of try and front foot it a little bit.
00:01:14.460 But most people don't want to know what's going on with the kids until it presents in their own family because they don't believe it.
00:01:19.860 You know, we're hearing the same story from one country to the other.
00:01:23.720 And, of course, when you have a global agenda, you have the United Nations mandating, the WHO backing them up, and this isn't natural.
00:01:31.880 And they say, oh, you know, children are finally able, they're free to say who their true self is.
00:01:36.480 It's like, no, no, there is no such thing as a trans child.
00:01:40.040 There is no such thing.
00:01:41.460 Even if you talk about gay and lesbian identifying children in K to 7, it would be like 0.0001% of the population.
00:01:53.980 And generally, it would have been tied to some sort of abuse, whether emotional abuse, sexual abuse, and even, you know, individuals who went into their later teens and into the 20s.
00:02:05.700 A lot of these identifying factors had to do with that, and they weren't born in the wrong body or they weren't born that way.
00:02:12.580 There was outside influences affecting them.
