Protesters picket Fairfax Media headquarters in Wellington.
Columnist Rosemary McLeod has sparked anger among pro-transgender activists for her opinion piece titled 'Why I feel for the kids of ego trippers'. The piece discusses transgender men who have given birth, and refers to being transgender as an "extreme trend" that would hurt the children. "It would be all very well if their mother/father had kept his/her unusual situation private, but he/she has boasted about it publicly, and that stands a good chance of rebounding against the kids, which hardly seems fair," she wrote.
This is in line with another article recently published by Stuff.co.nz called Gender Non-Conformity Linked to Abuse. Both views imply that those who don't conform to traditional gender roles are responsible for the abuse they receive. A more appropriate focus might have been "Gender Intolerance Linked to Abuse".
