InsideOut’s New CEO Is A Trans Drag Queen
Bet you never saw that one coming. But InsideOut can appoint whoever they want to their staff. It could be a furry, for all we care. But what we do care about is that this group is government funded to go into schools to indoctrinate both the children and the staff in radical sexuality and gender confusion. So yes – this appointment absolutely matters. The CEO’s worldview matters – to parents, and to children in schools where InsideOut is allowed to spread their confused & dangerous tentacles.

InsideOut’s New Boss Is A Trans Drag Queen
InsideOut has a new boss – to replace the organisation’s founder Tabby Besley.
He identifies as a woman, and is also a drag queen.
Bet you never saw that one coming.
But InsideOut can appoint whoever they want to their staff. It could be a furry, for all we care.
But what we do care about is that this group is government funded to go into schools to indoctrinate both the children and the staff in radical sexuality and gender confusion.
So yes – this appointment absolutely matters – his worldview matters – to parents, and to children in schools where InsideOut is allowed to spread their confused tentacles.
According to their announcement,
“Judy (O’Brien) joins InsideOUT Kōaro from New Zealand Rugby, where she currently serves as Head of Culture, Inclusion & Safeguarding… Judy is a member of the Board of Global Women
Um… okay that’s an interesting appointment given his biological sex
…and has enjoyed a career in service to the community. She served as Chair of the OuterSpaces Trust, an umbrella organisation for four LGBTQI+ youth groups in Wellington, was a long-time facilitator for Tranzform, a peer-support group for gender-diverse young people and was a founding member of the Rainbow Violence Prevention Network.
Now just to remind you – this is what InsideOut is all about
They sponsor Pride Week each year – which less and less schools are participating in each year. Just over 1 in 10 did, which means 9 in 10 didn’t!
Under the heading “Primary School activities”
Rainbow Inclusion at School
Some young kids already know they are transgender, or nonbinary, or just ‘different somehow’. Sometimes people think that we at InsideOUT Kōaro are trying to label kids and make them grow up too fast. Five year old Sam might grow into being Samuel or Samantha, and might fall in love with a woman or a man or neither.
Yes – five year olds.
In their “Creating Rainbow Inclusive Schools” guidelines to schools
Under the heading Respecting students’ wishes around names, pronouns, and gender – it says:
Trans and gender diverse students will have various wishes and needs around their name, pronouns, and gender.
They may want staff and students to address them with a different name and/or pronouns than those used at home
Legally, there is no minimum age at which a young person can request to change their personal information. When a student requests that their personal information be changed, the school should consider their student’s age, cognitive ability, and personal circumstances before deciding how to respond.
Regardless of which kind of change a student would like to make, it’s essential that schools check with the student whether they have told their parents/whānau about their change of name, pronoun, or gender marker. This is an issue of safety because the student may not have support at home for such changes to be made. The school’s primary responsibility is student safety, which includes affirming their gender
And then there’s Pink Shirt Day.
What happens to all the Funding for Pink Shirt Day?
“Fund InsideOUT to run rainbow-inclusive workshops in schools around Aotearoa.” More recently its to “provide free support to rainbow rangatahi in schools across Aotearoa.”
But they are concerned about the church.
Check the Rainbow & Faith section given the theological prowess of the church of InsideOut
A Church for all – celebrates a Sunday morning at an inclusive church that embraces all people regardless of age, class, race, gender identity, and sexual orientation.
The God Box – Manuel is the first openly gay teen Paul has ever met, and yet he says he’s also a committed Christian. Talking to Manuel makes Paul reconsider thoughts he has kept hidden, and listening to Manuel’s interpretation of Biblical passages on homosexuality causes Paul to reevaluate everything he believed. A thought-provoking exploration of what it means to be both religious and gay.
The Lesbiana’s Guide to Catholic School. Say no more.
Music from another world – change the rules not yourself
Join the Chariot is written by InsideOUT – need I say more – is neither theologically grounded nor carefully crafted. Its Foreword quickly indicates that the resource is neither theologically grounded nor a Taonga.
What this precious resource provides is an exemplary reading of the Gospel text, ‘I came that they may have life, and have it abundantly . . .’ For just as Jesus is rebuking the Pharisees for not taking care of those for whom they are responsible, for instead acting as those who bring fear and potential harm into the lives of those most vulnerable, he is also insisting it is the human right of all to choose if they so desire, to ‘come out [sic] and to go find abundant pasture’!
This of course is a complete (and offensive) misrepresentation of the words of Jesus in John 10:9.
They also try to suggest that Ruth and Naomi, Jonathan and David, the Roman Centurion and his servant, and Philip and the eunuch were in a same sex relationship of some sort. They even say “Jonathan and David were in a committed relationship that may have been sexual.” And that the Ethiopian eunuch was a “gender minority person”. These bizarre interpretations are both shocking and offensive.
You can read our critique on our website.
Then they do staff indoctrination for schools stupid enough to invite them in. This is for intermediate age and high school. These are the images of the slides that were leaked to us
Even before doing the indoctrination course, staff have to say how woke they are, whether they use personal pronouns, whether they’ve already stopped saying offensive words like boy and girl, and whether they hang LGBT flags on every doorway and wear their LGBT lapel pin with pride.
Kids know their sexuality and their gender at a very young age. 5. 4. 3.
If they talk about boys and girls (maybe because they have a brother or sister) or maybe they’re just smart or normal kids, then they can know about “diverse gender identities”
If they know about mums and dads, start indoctrinating them with all the other 120-plus genders and 200+ sexualities.
Don’t conflate biology like penis on a boy and uterus on a girl with genders – because that conflates sex and gender.
Don’t say “parents” or “opposite sex” cause that implies there are only 2 sexes / genders.
If a child is old enough to be cisgender – in other words, born – then they’re old enough to be transgender or gender diverse.
Exposure to gender diversity will not turn children trans. Fake news. Rapid onset gender dysphoria amongst peer groups is a real thing – and explains much of the explosion in social transitioning and gender confusion. So that is just a complete porky.
“The only person who can know someone’s gender is that person” – definitely not the medical doctors and nurses and midwives, and definitely not the parents. You can see where this is all going eh.
Oh and you’ll note above – exploring gender is “natural normal and healthy”. Yep – nothing says healthy as much as chemically blocking puberty, cross-sex hormones, and removing healthy breasts and penises. Health 101 – apparently.
Don’t say “a boy in my class identifies as a girl” No – don’t tell the truth. She is a girl.
And don’t say boys or girls. Oh hang on. But you just said to say “she is a girl”
Now I’m really confused.
Then you’ve got to use their pronouns
Teachers are told to “shift their thinking”. Thinking of someone as “a girl who uses they/them pronouns” makes things trickier than of them as “a non-binary person who uses they/them pronouns” and helps you see them as they are.
So that’s less trickier??
Tackling homophobic, biphobic, transphobic language – e.g. only women get pregnant. Only men have a penis. That sort of shocking stuff.
They want ALL staff to be indoctrinated. Yes – especially that bigoted groundsman – er groundsperson er, non-binary groundthing
What can teachers and school staff do. Note the 3rd one. Put aside all biology, reason, science – and repeat after me – “There are more than two genders” “Respect and use student’s pronouns”
What about pesky parents? Follow the child. Remember that these are young children.
“Seek support for yourself and the student.” Yes it’s traumatizing brainwashing children.
From the parenting experts InsideOut, “unsupportive parents may just be unaware or scared.”
OR maybe they believe that their son is a boy, or their daughter is a girl. You know, that kind of weird view. Or maybe they believe that an 11 year old who can’t figure out what to wear each day and can’t clean their room possibly can’t figure out why they want to be the opposite sex. Just maybe.
Finally, flood the school with imaging and evidence of sexuality and gender because that’s all young people are thinking about. Camps. Sports. Kapa haka. Choir. There’s a whole lot of red flags there about privacy and safety for girls. And choir? I mean I could sing soprano in intermediate school before my voice broke. Maybe I was a …….. OK don’t go there Bob.
And finally, enrolment forms. Do they ask about “mother and father”? Noooooooooo. Are there more gender options than biologically correct ones?
Now you might think that InsideOut are only obsessed with gender and sexuality. Think again.
Free Palestine! Stop the genocide. (I think Chloe wrote this one)
We are dismayed by the cynical weaponisation of the queer liberation struggle by the Israeli state and its supporters to undermine solidarity with the people of Palestine. As rainbow people resisting a global genocidal movement against our transgender whānau, we refuse to be complicit in the pinkwashing of the genocide in Gaza.
The 54th parliament of the settler colony of NZ has officially opened
Down the bottom
The promises in the coalition agreement reflect the violent, ongoing presence of colonisation in Aotearoa
We will continue to fight for a Te Tiriti led Aotearoa
They condemn everything they can find – including the rolling back of their darling RSE curriculum – but basically they condemn all the other reactionary policies in the coalition agreement, We must fght….
The intersection of white supremacy, settler colonialism and racial capitalism.
And at the bottom – it’s land back. It’s free Palestine.
So now that I’ve reminded you just how bizarre, radical and downright dangerous InsideOut are – and funded by you the taxpayer, let’s find out just a little about their new boss.
Now at the beginning, I said “he identifies as a woman – and is a drag queen”. I’m not misgendering.
I didn’t make that up. It’s exactly what the Stuff article says from 16 years ago. It’s the biological truth.
It is Jonathan O’Brien who opens the door at the start of the night, but Judy Chicago who closes it at the end. You could safely say that when we leave, Jonathan, a slim, elfin man in grey plaid trousers, face framed by a floppy haircut, has gone. He’s now a diva in an ankle-length dress, a large white halo of hair around her head. The transformation takes nearly three hours – and some rice, old pantyhose, special effects wax for Jonathan to become Judy, his drag queen alter-ego.
Jonathan, or rather Judy, is taking to the stage next Saturday night in the Queen of the Whole Universe pageant, which will see more than 50 drag queens vying for the title. When they are all dolled up, drag queens like to be addressed as their characters, they’re “she” not “he”.
…Judy Chicago was born five years ago, when Jonathan was a student at Auckland University.
…”When I first came out as gay to my dad, he asked me if I wanted to be a woman. I said no, quite the opposite. And one night he came home and I was in full drag just experimenting with makeup. He walked in and looked at me and said, `will we be seeing you like this more often?’ I said, `yes’.”
Well he didn’t want to be a woman back then – but now he does.
And so of course he was featured in Woman Magazine, which according to their website is:
a platform that encapsulates the spirit, resilience and diversity of women across New Zealand. With every story shared, we embark on a journey to empower, inspire and elevate the voices of women who have shaped our society and our country… Our stories are of real women who are trailblazers in their own right and who have turned dreams into reality.
Okay.
I might see if I can get a feature article about me in Horse & Hound Magazine.
Trans performer Judy O’Brien could tell the story of her life through A-ha moments… Judy, who was assigned male at birth… when she was 14 and wearing pigtails and a purple blouse to a mufti day at Papakura’s Rosehill College, a get-up that attracted side-eyes and nasty slurs. “It was the first time I was able to present a more realistic version of myself but I was made to feel that I was wrong. It showed me how narrow minded people can be when you don’t fit into their world view.” Things got worse before they got better, exacerbated by puberty “which didn’t feel like a puberty my body should be going through”… By then in her last year of high school, and identifying as bisexual, …
She found her tribe among the other psychology students in her halls of residence [at Auckland University studying psychology]. “(It seemed that we all had some kind of trauma in our backgrounds”). All was going well until one of those students hung herself. “We were going out for the night and she went back to her room and killed herself.” The pain of that loss, 20+ years later, still resonates. At the time it nudged Judy towards the open arms of the trans community, drag queens and gender nonconforming people.
…[Judy’s] father changed his very Catholic view of the world for his child.”
After graduating, Judy moved to Wellington to work for the Ministry of Justice…
… Unable to find a job Judy turned to drag performing and MCing events, her sharp wit and personality soon making her Toronto’s ‘IT’ trans girl. Some of the more notable inclusions on her CV include a feature film, a short film and playing the Virgin Mary in a video for US rockers Fall Out Boy.
Ah yes there’s nothing better than mocking Christian imagery with a biological male who’s a drag queen playing the Virgin Mary. They were so proud of themselves. Can’t wait until they do one mocked Islam.
While Judy is at pains to say that not every trans woman wants or needs hormone therapy and surgery, she did. In 2011 she started on the former, followed 18 months later by a series of surgeries to medically transition. For Judy, the benchmark was being able to ‘pass’ as a woman. “My goal was to been seen as a woman based on the understanding of what a woman looks like.”
He came back to Wellington to work with parents of gay youth and supporting gay and trans youth.
5 years ago he published this video in Parliament’s so-called Rainbow Room.
You’ll note that the target group starts at 12 years old
Schools Out is an organisation that supports school aged people from about 12 to 18, and that runs after school programs for queer young people to get together and get to know each other and talk about the things that matter to them and what might be affecting them at school. Transform is a group that supports gender diverse and gender questioning young people aged from about 14 to 30, and that runs in the evening. We address all sorts of topics with that group, from changing your name and gender marker to sexuality, education, consent, and healthy relationships. And then Naming New Zealand is a charity that runs to support young people to change their identity documents. And so their name and their gender marker, and their passports, their birth certificates, and their name change process as well. So recently we ran a law clinic for the young people in Schools Out and Transform. to have Naming New Zealand come in and talk to them about how they can change their documents so that everything’s in line for them and they don’t have to deal with unnecessary discrimination in the process. So our organization’s vision is a universal acceptance of body, identity, and sexuality diversity.
And then got a job with the NZ Rugby Union – on the far right. The faaaaar right. That’s ironic.
Yes, the Rugby Union (who have the Rainbow Tick because that’s all rugby players are concerned about – their sexuality and their gender identity) and the job was as Head of Inclusion and Safeguarding. Not safeguarding from rugby injuries or having the regulation balls. Or making sure women weren’t injured playing against men. Or dudes weren’t pretending to be women so they could play in the women’s team.
Nope – quite the opposite.
DEI & woke virtual signalling in the NZ Rugby Union. Making sure that everyone bows down to the new cultural religion based on your sexuality and gender identity.
And finally just one other interview in 2010 – as Jonathan
when I was first doing drag, my drag character was quite distinct from me as Jonathan. And I guess I wasn’t sure who I wanted to be so sometimes I’d spend a lot of time in drag and maybe go to university in drag… Some people start out as a drag queen or doing drag or cross dressing or whatever, and then they start doing it more often, and then that person becomes who they are and who they want to be or who they’ve always wanted to be. So there are strong links between drag communities and transgender communities and people and individuals.
So there you have it. The new boss of InsideOut.
You may be saying – why the focus on this person. Why make this personal?
Good question. Up until this week, I really didn’t care. I’d never heard of this person. Each to their own. What they do as adults is completely up to them.
BUT this person is now the head of a government funded organisation that is going into schools to indoctrinate and confuse your children around themes of radical sexuality and gender identity – to hide this information from you as parents and family – to pressure school staff to be part of the indoctrination – and to even encourage your children to believe that they can choose their own sex, their own pronouns, be chemically experimented on with puberty blockers and wrong-sex hormones, and then sign up for the castration of healthy body parts.
So do I care?
Absolutely. You bet I do.
And you should also.
