💨 Abstract

New Zealand First, a minority coalition partner, introduced a bill to parliament that aims to define women and men by biological sex, potentially denying legal recognition to trans individuals. The bill is a longshot to become law and has been criticized as "typical populist politics" by opposition leader Chris Hipkins. The bill follows a British court ruling that only biological, not trans, women meet the definition of a woman under equality laws.
