This is Lesbian Resistance New Zealand

The resistance of lesbians is needed to protect the rights of women/lesbians and children.

We are a New Zealand group of lesbians joining in the global fight against “gender” identity ideology. We want to draw attention to the ongoing abolition of sex in favour of the made-up concept of “gender”. We aim to protect existing or re-claim already lost sex-based rights of women and girls as well as the rights of lesbians - without compromise. A woman is an adult human female. “Woman” is a sex-class that humans cannot “identify” into or out of. We claim the words that describe our shared female material reality - woman, lesbian, mother, sister, vagina, menstruation, breastfeeding, etc - EXCLUSIVELY for female-born humans. We don’t believe in the ideology-driven use of “preferred” pronouns.

Lesbian Resistance New Zealand is not - and does not want to be - part of any “rainbow community” that might exist or the ever-increasing assorted “LGBTQIA+”.

Lesbian Resistance New Zealand focuses on street action and conversations with everyday people like us.

Lesbian Resistance New Zealand has adopted the Lesbian Bill of Rights and is also a signatory to the Declaration of Women’s Sex-Based Rights.

This website is mainly a resource page with information about anything that might help fight off the relentless and increasingly violent attacks on women and children.

Just like the lesbian resistance movement itself, this website is a work in progress, done by unpaid volunteers with daytime jobs. As time allows we will add other categories, many more links, annotations and commentary.

Here’s some of the outlandish and dangerous stuff we believe

  • Women are adult human females.

  • Women do not have penises.

  • Lesbians are women, therefore, lesbians do not have penises.

  • Humans are a binary species, therefore, there is no such thing as “non-binary”.

  • Humans cannot change sex.

  • The legal conflation of sex with the made-up concept of “gender” always endangers women and children, especially girls.

  • The made-up concept of “gender identity” erases lesbians as a sex-based category.

  • Girls who don’t conform to stereotypical “femininity” must not be considered to have a “male identity”. Leave tomboys alone!

  • Women need single-sex spaces. These spaces cease to exist as soon as men pretending to be women are allowed in.

  • We will continue to use traditional words that describe the material reality of females, such as “woman”, “mother”, “breastfeeding”, “menstruation”, “vagina”, etc.

  • We use pronouns that correctly sex a person. As humans are hard wired to do and as grammar intended.

  • Laws that force anyone to participate in the legal fiction of womanhood as an “identity" for men must be repealed.

  • Leading children to believe they can chose their sex is child abuse.

  • “Transitioning” children is child abuse.

On Fridays, when the weather is on our side, we take our placards to the rural town of Feilding. We set up opposite the small Farmer’s Market and talk to passers by.
