On the 15th of December this year, Aotearoa New Zealand passed the 2.5 year mark for Self-ID.
As we always said, there have been zero issues arising from this. Not a single incident recorded formally or informally, not a whisper of a problem.
The anti-trans activists lied to everyone.

Here's an idea, double parking fees (from $1 to $2), raise utility taxes by 1%, and make buses free. Iowa City did that and reduced traffic by 5,200 cars and emissions by 24,000 metric tons of co2/year.
Iowa City Made Its Buses Free. Traffic Cleared, and So Did the Air.
