If Labour wants to "follow" the politics that endangers our trans whanau for donor funds,

The Greens will lead the politics of protecting our trans whanau against imported fascism.

This is my position. I can’t believe they’re continuing to use this excuse when the “culture war” has already led to legislation being used to directly contravene the human rights of trans people. Lab wanting to follow and not lead *is* putting kids at risk.
Hipkins response to me was basically, "we absolutely support trans people & will reverse it, but we don't want to start a culture war that would put trans kids at risk."

It doesn't make sense. WP has already started the war, TPM & the Greens response didn't start a flare up of hate afaik.

The wellbeing of our rangatahi should be reason enough but trust me - no really, trust me - when I say that if we let this slide, so much more is at stake.

Some good news for a change: the beetles and fungus introduced to control Tradescantia actually work, sometimes spectacularly. This is a game changer: this horrible plant smothers huge areas of forest floor and is a pain to eradicate by hand, regrowing from the smallest fragment.
"A kahikatea forest remnant site in north Waikato has seen a near complete disappearance of tradescantia after the leaf beetle, stem beetle, and smut fungus all established there between 2019 and 2021. This site is now seeing recovery of native ferns and tree seedlings."

I think it was @fiercemum.bsky.social who called the current anti-trans trend in health legislation and policy making "policy-based evidence making" and that phrase has been burnt into my retinas ever since because it's the most truthful thing maybe anyone has ever said

Govt has panicked and realised they accidentally banned GnRH analogues for adults too and have quickly updated their legislation. Just shows how little thought went into this decision - no thought, just political ideology and disinformation. www.legislation.govt.nz/regulation/p...

Given the decision on puberty blockers, I do want to note an objective fact that I think has been lost:

Eight MPs voted to keep conversion practices legal.

All were National MPs.

*Every single one* of the five who remained in Parliament after the 2023 election was given a Ministerial warrant.
December 1, 2025 at 11:58 PM
I've collected a list of all the medical and healthcare professionals who have put out statements against the ban on puberty blockers. I'm sure I've missed some, let me know if I have.

It is damning. I have yet to find a professional org that supports the ban, even tepidly.
