New Zealand Prime Minister Chris Hipkins was at a loss for words when a reporter pressed how he and the New Zealand government define what a woman is.
After a long pause Mr Hipkins finally responded by saying:"People define themselves, people define their own genders".
Author J.K Rowling, who has been outspoken in her criticism of the trans rights movement, weighed in on the gaffe on Monday. When pressed further on the definition of a woman, Mr Hipkins doubled down, replying “people identity for themselves”.
