Politicians shared emotional messages to the "brave" trans and wider community as they supported legislation that allows people to change their birth certificates to reflect who they are.It has been over four years since the Bill was introduced, and it has been thoroughly debated - at times fiery - at each stage finally getting to a point where today it passed its third reading today unanimously.Green Party MP Dr Elizabeth Kerekere, a longtime advocate in the rainbow community, was in tears and had to pause to gather her emotions as she spoke in support of the Bill in the House."This bill recognises that those who need to amend their birth certificate can do so, that the courts do not have the right to make that choice for them, that parents do not have that right, that cis-gender people who don't even know them or care about them do not have that right."As a takatāpui, cis-lesbian fem ally to our takatāpui, trans and intersex non-binary whānau, I am very proud to commend this bill to the house," she said.Kerekere also made reference to the country's first and only transgender MP, Georgina Beyer.The Bill means people can amend the sex on a birth certificate on simple process without going through the Family Court, which involved appearing before a judge and disclosing private medical information.It will also not require people to provide evidence of medical treatment, which can be difficult to access, intrusive, and which the person in question may not want.Internal Affairs Minister Jan Tinetti said it was "a proud day in Aotearoa's history".She paid tribute to the people who submitted in favour of the change who had been "hurt, mocked, belittled and discriminated against"."A lot of discussion was aimed at trans women. As a cis woman I am proud to stand alongside my sisters."Trans misogyny is still misogyny."Tinetti referred to a time when she was principal at a school and an 8-year-old student, who the "world saw as a boy knew they were a girl".She worked through the journey with her, and she'd recently contacted the minister to thank her."We are changing legislation that is truly a step closer to an inclusive Aotearoa New Zealand."Keep proudly being you."National Party spokeswoman for women Nicola Grigg said few bills had had such a "complicated" passage through the House."But this Bill is in a much better state than when it was introduced in 2017."She said she understood the concerns of those who felt the change could diminish the status of women in society, and set a precedent for replacing sex in policy."Those views are genuinely held and we as parliamentarians have an obligation to listen."She said she was concerned some of those opposing the changes were blocked from organising debates on the topic.However, Gigg said she believed those fears were unfounded."The current law causes unnecessary stress for some people and I don't think it will set a precedent. Laws need to reflect the times we live in."All this is doing is modernising the process, it was a dated Act and this shifts it in the right direction."The self-identification provisions come into force in 18 months' time.This will give the Government opportunity to consult with the rainbow community and receive submissions and ensure the legislation works to support those it concerns.Consultation will begin next year on the regulations which will determine who is a suitably qualified third party to support applications for young people; find a way to make sure the sex markers available for the birth certificate include non-binary and cultural options; and determine any additional requirements for anyone seeking to amend their registered sex more than once.- by Michael Neilson, NZ Herald

This invisible link to the past may be exactly what informs his style of art, which is distinctly realistic and in keeping with the European impressionist and neoclassical portraiture tradition of the 1800s.His gentle eyes are especially good at capturing genuine refinement and beauty, and for this Nick relies on the traditional painting techniques known as ‘Alla Prima‘, or ‘L’Atelier‘, where students learn directly from maestros.Nick has a sweet tendency to recreate aesthetic and ethical virtue through his paintings. Like a modern-day gentleman trying to rescue a beautiful painting tradition, his very presence calls for serenity, and for a validation of beauty that exists only in what is evoked with purified simplicity and unquestionable dignity.Nick has been fortunate enough to be able to portray prominent contemporary personalities such as the renowned British actor Ian Mckellen, as well as other actors from the film ‘The Hobbit‘. He was also asked to paint the cast of ‘Waiting for Godot‘ by the Theatre Royal Haymarket. He has portrayed writer Martin Sherman, British/Nigerian actress Gloria Onitiri, and most recently Georgina Beyer, the world’s first openly transgender woman with the rank of mayor and later, member of the New Zealand parliament. However, for obvious reasons, it is his portrait of the current queen, Elizabeth II, commissioned by The New Zealand Portrait Gallery that was the great turning point of his career.Carla and Nick share a beautiful relationship of mutual cooperation and silent approval for the human and professional, which is why this interview has an aura of friendship pervading everything it touches.

We talk a lot these days about resilience.There’s a feeling abroad that new generations don’t have much of it. That after a privileged childhood full of comforts that prosperity and technological advancement has brought, young people these days find setbacks and disappointments extremely hard to cope with.Deborah Hill Cone this week extended that to shame in her column. That while good people spend their life trying to avoid shame, it is actually something that needs to be experienced and learnt from. To acknowledge you have done something wrong. That your standing amongst others has fallen. That there’s something for you to atone for.Well on a lighter note I acknowledge that I failed to show resilience last night. It was late and I turned on the cricket. New Zealand versus Pakistan. I had already lost hope but I watched Babar run out by Ish Sodhi. A small flame of hope flickered and I flirted with staying awake on a school night. But I didn’t. Going to bed just as one of the most remarkable test victories came New Zealand’s way. By just 4 runs!The Black Caps showed resilience. The Black Caps never gave up. They should be very proud. I was a pussy, who missed a magic moment and all I had to do is sit there on my couch and yawn from time to time.On a more serious note, it comes as a great disappointment to me that the Auckland Pride Parade has been so compromised. And in doing so the organisers have shown no comprehension of resilience or shame despite the fact that their community has shown it for so long.There was a raucous meeting this week including fisticuffs and scuffles and the classic quote, "we left when the old gay amputee attacked the young trans". The Board of the parade decided to ban police marching in their uniform. In doing so they failed to show resilience against a small young band of radicals called People Against Prisons Aotearoa.In a tragic irony, their leader Emilie Rakete was involved in a fight at the hui during a heated conversation on police brutality.In another tragic irony, the people who argue most for inclusivity are now involved in exclusivity.In yet another irony, the people who are often branded a minority demanding change have changed after the demands of a minoritySo after showing such lamentable lack of resilience the entire Parade is compromised. The Defence Force now will not march with Auckland. Sponsors are pulling out. Georgina Beyer rang my programme last Friday incensed. Mika has called People in Prisons fascists.But the insult to the Police is shameful. The Police have acknowledged a past of discriminatory actions to the community. But in allowing police to march in the uniforms, to admit that shame, to show things have changed was always something good. I remember the first time police marched like that in a parade. I remember they got the loudest cheer. People were gobsmacked and impressed. It showed real change.So Pride Parade. No resilience. Shame on you.

On Valentine's Day 2007 Georgina Beyer brought down the curtain on her 8 year career in government. The first transsexual in the world to be elected to parliament, her short time in national politics had been remarkable for its candour and courage as well as for its achievements. On the tenth anniversary of her resignation, Georgina tells Justin Gregory from RNZ's Eyewitness programme that she left it all behind with no regrets and little ceremony.
