Episode promo flyer featuring the book’s cover: “Transnational Anti-Gender Politics. Feminist Solidarity in Times of Global Attacks,” and the podcast logo: “Feminism, Fascism, & the Future.” The image in the ad has a pink background and reads: “New episode! A new(ish) book and other cool research.”

New Zealand has banned puberty blockers (of course only for trans kids), until the UK completes their PB trial in 2031. A trial that has still not started. A trial that may never start. A trial that is unethical and will not meaningfully add to the evidence base.

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.

A Government of cowards.

Rather than tackle inequality - they've gone for pensioners, disabled people and now it's people fleeing war and persecution.

They can't get away with this.

🚨 1/ SCOOP We all know Pamela Paul is not a good journalist. But in her (poorly argued) WSJ screed on the alleged "growing divide" in LGBTQ circles abt trans rights, she reports ESPECIALLY badly—including abt Jose Arango & his boyfriend who dumped him.

Paul didn't talk to the boyfriend.

Image of a megaphone on a pink and purple background. Text reads: Gendered Spaces and the Impact of the EHRC Non-Statutory Interim Update on Trans, Intersex and Gender Non-Conforming Adults.
