We posted yesterday on how the spirit of long dead Tom Paine stalks our cultural ghettos. People, said Tom, have a right to be whatever they want to be. It's a "funamenal" human right. This has led many in the West to swoon in religious ecstasy, falling down before the claims of trans-genderism and trans-sexualism.
Further to this matter, a sensitive and sophisticated Auckland City councillor had laid a complaint against a shop in West Auckland which has allegedly discriminated against women and Muslims--at least in the mind of our precious petal councillor. The jewellery shop has a sign banning certain items of clothing:
Councillor Casey apparently believes it's ok to ban customers wearing hoodies, sunglasses and helmets, but not burkas. Consequently, it must be OK to discriminate against those who wear hoodies, sunglasses, and helmets. No human rights violated there. Casey happily endorses discrimination against the desires and wishes and rights of those people.
Nevertheless, she has complained about the burka-ban.
