Below is an extract from an email I sent to my Federal MP today after I signed a petition against granting a visa to a dangerous anti-trans provocateur.
Because of the technical difficulties copying email text into Blogger, I have done this as a screen grab, with active copies of the links below.

Assumptions / basis
In writing this, I have assumed / started from the following:
- this blog states quite clearly that it is about political and human rights matters, including lived experience of problems, and thus I will assume readers are reasonable people who have noted the content warning in the post header;
Possible flaws
Where I can, I will try to highlight possible flaws / issues you should consider:
- there may be flawed logical arguments in the above: to find out more about such flaws and thinking generally, I recommend Brendan
Myers’ free online course “Clear and Present Thinking”;
- I could be wrong - so keep your thinking caps on, and make up your own minds for yourself.
If they are of any use or interest, the activism information links from my former news posts are available in this post.
