A109 Light Utility Helicopter flight with mayor Gisborne City from the air in November 2023.

A109 Light Utility Helicopter flight with mayor Gisborne City from the air in November 2023.

You write a letter stating facts and scientific truth and the woke left come out, claiming hatred and uneducated opinion. They claim this because they probably have a speck of common sense left and know they’re wrong, that a woman is a woman and a man is a man. Just because someone doesn’t follow your narrative doesn’t mean they’re hateful towards anyone.

Yes, Dave, everyone has a right to free speech, and I won’t try to cancel you or verbally assault you because you don’t agree with me. Yes, a trans male is biologically a female and yes, use the toilet of your birth sex.

You’re the same people who will demand you follow the science for climate change and for vaccination, but casually overlook it for sex and gender.

Seems like hypocrisy to me.
