Jaimie Veale
New Zealand psychologist
Jaimie F Veale is a Canadian-New Zealand psychology academic, and as of 2021 is a senior lecturer at the University of Waikato.
Academic career
Veale has a master's degree from Massey University, completed in 2005. After a 2011 PhD titled Biological and psychosocial correlates of gender-variant and gender-typical identities also at Massey University, Veale moved to the University of British Columbia in Vancouver, Canada for three years, before returning to New Zealand and the University of Waikato.
In 2017, Veale was funded to research transgender health and "the first comprehensive research project into the health and wellbeing of trans and non-binary people in New Zealand".
In 2019–2021, Veale and her work supported changes in the Births, Deaths, Marriages, and Relationships Registration Bill to make it easier for people to change the details on their birth certificates.
In 2021, Veale gave a Radio New Zealand interview about the anti-trans backlash to weightlifter Laurel Hubbard representing New Zealand at the 2020 Olympics, in which she described the response as an attempt to deny trans people their human rights. A complaint was laid with the Broadcasting Standards Agency, but it was not upheld. Veale is researching the media coverage of Hubbard.

Why this record matters
The phrase “new Zealand psychologist” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.
The citation trail is more important than the brevity of the summary: it shows where individual claims can be examined in context. The source revision retrieved here is dated Sep 2, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q80772820. VIAF identifies the subject as 14158259364502301689. The Library of Congress control number is no2020022304. 1 of 2 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 2021, 2005, 2011 and 2017.
A concise general-reference account can conceal disagreements about scope, terminology or the weight assigned to individual sources. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
