In this episode of Solid Ground, Simon starts by addressing viewers questions about Waitangi Day and points them to interviews he has done with Professor Paul Moon, who has some useful insights into aspects of the political and historical debate. Simon then discusses the breaking news that the American Society of Plastic Surgeons have come out and recommended their members delay any gender-related surgeries until at least age nineteen. He argues this is very significant and sits alongside other wins including the successful law suit by a detransistioner in New York.
Simon then talks about his latest Substack around how various protests in New Zealand are handled by authorities, comparing the treatment of Brian Tamaki’s protests to those supporting progressive causes.
