Hey, NZ government, nice fucking job enacting new policy that will demonstrably make already vulnerable kids think it might be better to be dead than live in the world you’re trying so hard to build.

The putative Opposition hasn’t denounced this, so it’s clearly a world they want, too. #nzpol
1. A landmark study was just published in The Journal of Pediatrics.

It found a 68% reduction in suicidality for trans youth getting HRT.

It also found only 7 of more than 400 stopped taking HRT... and of those that did, 4 still identified as gender-diverse.

Transgender care saves lives.
Study In The Journal Of Pediatrics Finds Trans Youth Care Lowers Suicidality, Few Detransition
The groundbreaking study found that suicidality dropped for transgender youth receiving hormone therapy by nearly 70%, with only 7 patients of 432 discontinuing treatment.

People and orgs are showing up for trans kids and it warms my cynical little heart.
NZ Human Rights Commission: “It is a clear breach of their human rights and will cause unnecessary harm and distress to vulnerable young people”
Ban on puberty blockers serious human rights infringement

Amen.
One of the things cis women have long fought for bodily autonomy with are cries such as "get your laws off my body" & "my body, my choice" ... trans folks are no different.

This is why the ban on puberty blockers for trans folks is so incredibly stupid and ideological.

Halt to puberty blockers curses 'young transgender women to stigma'
That's the reaction of a model who used puberty blockers as a teen to rules halting new prescriptions for young people.

A-fucking-men.
I wrote this poem early this year, after a rushed and absolutely inappropriate public consultation process on trans kids' right to access healthcare. Today is Trans Day of Remembrance. Yesterday, the government removed that right. Today, I'm releasing this poem.

The NZ government take a big step down a dangerous path, one driven by eliminationist ideology and backed by blatant pseudoscience.

The Cass Review they cite has been widely debunked and the clinical trial they mention has been rightly blasted as unethical and unworkable. Fuck these clowns.
The Government is banning new patients from being prescribed the most common form of puberty blocker and is explicitly aligning NZ's future policy on this matter to the UK's. PR below.
