Don't get me wrong. As someone who has literally done webinars on the dangers of deep fakes, this is a GREAT calling out of the Santa peeps AND a great reminder for those of us who don't read T&Cs. I am merely flabbergasted by the headline.

Also, sitting on the ground has been proven to aid in longevity. There are multiple studies that they've done on the Japanese people who live for ages and its mostly the number of body weight squats they do daily because they don't traditionally have chairs

3. Let's also sit with the timing of announcing this during trans awareness week, and specifically the day before we take a beat to remember the trans people who have been murdered for being trans.

2. The announcement only affects young trans people's access to the blockers. The young cis kids with early onset puberty can still access the same drugs. If its so unsafe, why are they still allowed them?

1. NZ First announced it as a victory a full three hours before the Ministry of Health announcement. Let's sit with that timing for a moment.

yea, I think I like gifting way more than barter. giving with no expectation of return just seems more wholesome, but also I see how in a real life society that can all fall apart very quickly
