More targeting of transgender people. Singling out life saving care for “review”.

This is a "papers please" "English is the official language" "eat slop and be grateful" "disappear the unhoused" "women are second class" "don't learn real history" "local FBI office" government and we really cannot afford to be smug about other countries' slide to open fascism, Aotearoa

Can’t believe this crank hasn’t been put in the bin with her fake report 🗑️ She has done so much harm to trans kids.

A screenshot promoting RNZ's Saturday Mornings show, with an interview with Hilary Cass, horrible disingenuous transphobe, except for some reason they describe it as: "New prescriptions for puberty blockers were to be banned by the Government just before Christmas, but an urgent High Court injunction has called a halt to the new regulations and a judicial review is set down for May. The findings of an independent report and subsequent major clinical trial in the UK prompted the Health Minister Simeon Brown to press pause on the medications for new patients with gender dysphoria. The four-year Cass Review, carried out for NHS England recommends limiting the use of puberty blockers to research settings. It also urges unhurried holistic care, caution around irreversible treatments, and the recognition of complex factors such as mental health, neurodiversity and social media as possible contributors to the rise in young people questioning their gender. Baroness Dr Hilary Cass joins Susie live from the UK."

Hell YES Radio New Zealand promoting transphobia again, woooooooooo national broadcaster undefeated for trash takes 🎉

Best thing about the Free Speech Onion trying to neg Parliament into staying on the Nazi platform is that for *years* they've derided Twitter as an echo chamber of loser woke millennial party hacks

But now they want to be all, "um excuse me there are ONE MILLION NEW ZEALANDERS on Twitter!!!'

This should have happened months ago

Today, the Court of Appeal has given clarity and confidence to medical professionals in Aotearoa to continue prescribing GnRH agonists/reversible pubertal suppression. You can read PATHA’s statement at patha.nz/news

The only trans people mentioned in the epstein files are victims.

Hundreds of known anti-trans people are in them, though, either rubbing shoulders with the rape-cult, an active part of the clique, or trying to gain access.

Are you getting it yet?

Billie Eilish: "No one is illegal on stolen land"

Last year, I purposefully routed my trip to England to avoid the USA.
Paid more for my flight to do so.
But I know it's not safe there for queer folk like me.

It certainly isn't safe for people that aren't white.

So when do we stop sending athletes there?

I try not to get too obsessed with US politics as it’s so insane and we have enough problems here in Aotearoa. But this incident feels like a horrible turning point. Trump has a gestapo.

Lets pursue justice, equity and human rights with everything we’ve got. I’m all in—tears, fury, and determination. Let’s make 2026 fierce.

In 2026, this is a hill I’ll die on: I’m swinging every bit of my middle-class privilege like a sword to scream for the voiceless. I really need folks to get this through their heads, rage, and fight like hell for minority rights, bodily autonomy, and a planet that doesn’t cook the most vulnerable.

Climate injustice is the chaotic cherry on top, slamming marginalized communities hardest and amplifying every flavor of racism, transphobia, and Islamophobia. Imagine thinking these aren’t all tangled up—wild to me.

But - welp - being alive is also fucking exhausting. Deeply worried doesn’t even cover it. It’s impossible to overstate how the many crises in the world are shredding lives. And the vicious attacks on trans people worldwide? The barriers keeping LGBTQIA+ young humans from life-saving healthcare?

While many folks are back at work, I’m capping off the most gloriously idyllic beach holiday surrounded by my amazing extended family. We’ve enjoyed kai moana and garden salads, decadent desserts, walked for miles and been swimming most days. Holy shit, I am so grateful for this privilege.

So relieved Labour have finally made their position clear! The Judicial Review will take a while and we can expect a change of Govt next year, this means AoNZ can continue to be a safe place for trans kids and their families. Makes me proud!

This is such good news for trans young people and rainbow families. I have hope AoNZ will eventually do the right thing - although we might need to wait until after the next election.

Support Rangatahi and Whānau Affected by the Ban on Puberty Blockers Raising funds to support rangatahi directly affected by the New Zealand Government’s decision to ban new prescriptions of puberty blockers.

This one’s important e hoa mā - a few of our orgs are collaborating on this fund to ensure that no trans young person in Aotearoa misses out on lifesaving care. Alternative treatment pathways exist but are expensive and we need your help.

Disturbing.

Min of Health has decided not to continue with the FluTracking survey each week from next year.

What a ridiculous decision. The cost savings must be minimal

What are our taxes actually used for if not things like public health?

Girl guiding UK faces a volunteer exodus as members resign over the ban on trans girls and young women. Members say the exclusion betrays the charity’s core ethos of inclusivity

Jacinda Ardern glowing on TV appearance wearing golden dress

Jacinda was amazing and she looks so well and happy - and I’m so happy for her. We were lucky to have her!

One day I'm going to be sitting in the room as we talk about a royal inquiry because someone - or multiple someones - have had the worst happen to them because of the path we are going down and I WISH this was an exaggeration.

F1NN5TER 'didn't expect' backlash over Anne Health video OnlyFans model F1NN5TER has said he didn't expect criticism from the trans community over his donation to Anne Healthcare.

“We’ve got some really good data analysis on patients moving their care to us…80% of patients came from the largest online gender provider [GenderGP] and nearly every single patient’s [hormone levels] were not in the ranges they should be.“ 😬😬😧

The Cass Review: Cis-supremacy in the UK’s approach to healthcare for trans children.

Conclusion
The Cass Review can be understood as an exercise in cis-supremacy, in a healthcare system that lacks trans accountability.

Very heartening to see leading experts push back against the blatant bigotry. Cisgender children are allowed to block their puberties but trans kids can’t??? - this is insanely discriminatory.
