Stuff inadvertently promotes Let Kids Be Kids
In April, following our Roadshow meeting in the top of the South, Nelson Mail (Stuff), tried their best to discredit us.
Remember, we are simply parents who have concerns and are sharing our findings. It’s up to those who wish to attend to make their own decisions about whether the information we share is concerning for their family… or not.
We pose no risk to anyone, and wholeheartedly believe that we are helping save the lives of distressed children who may be being told they are born in the wrong body and that social, pharmaceutical and surgical ‘transition’ will solve their problems.
Days after our Nelson meeting a Stuff reporter Amy Ridout, contacted us claiming there had been complaints about our meeting. So we asked her who complained. (Because it didn’t appear that anyone who attended the meeting had any issues).
The name we got was Nelson’s Deputy Mayor Rohan O’Neill-Stevens. Rohan was not in attendance at our meeting. A quick look and we see he’s a member of the Green party. Their Youth arm. Say no more.
We reached out to Rohan directly, to enquire about his complaint. This is part of his response:
Rohan appears to believe that evidence-based investigation, and anyone questioning the narrative he promotes, is a HOMOPHOBIC TRANSPHOBIC.
At Let Kids Be Kids were are neither of those things. As is clear in our content.
Note that the people who call us these names, seem to rarely be parents themselves, and are not dealing first-hand with the damaging results of a political ideology sweeping through many homes and lives, courtesy of schools, online content, biased media, and a controlled health system.
Rohan is a public servant. His use of the words ‘homophobic’, ‘transphobic’ and ‘conspiracy theories’, while not surprising, as it comes directly out of the playbook for shutting down free speech, is disturbing and makes blatantly clear where he sits in the political and ideological landscape.
Just for fun, we ran a poll on X asking who won this round…
Should parents and others be able to book public venues to hold community meetings?
We think so. Stuff don’t seem to think so. In the article their quote from Deputy Mayor Rohan states:
“Some of the groups who use our venues don’t belong in our community, but our legal obligations under the Bill of Rights Act are very firm.”
So, parents who have concerns about their own children don’t belong in their community?? You mean, parents who run businesses, are employed by council, pay their rates, and contribute to society in all sorts of positive ways? Don’t belong in the community?? Shocking.
