Have you seen the "no colour" of the year?.🤬

Totes. Omg we would have to clear a path in the garage. Let's get through holidays and make a plan!

"But Stephanie, access to puberty blockers only affects a small number of people"

Those people have families and communities

It shows you care about autonomy, real freedom, equality, evidence based policy

The only people you lose were never voting for you anyway

I think I listen to more on Mark's account than I do my own because he is the one that notices silence 😅

I also watch A LOT of music on Youtube. Which probably means I'm old. LOL.

Thanks. Trans young people in Aotearoa all deserve to hear this message eh? It would be so easy for her to pop this up on the website along with a commitment to repeal the ban.

I know. Labour Party delegates aren't actually the only people who needed to hear that message? I don't know how else to say it I'm just repeating myself. We can't put our trust and hope in hearsay, and we can't hold them accountable for things that aren't on public record.

There is no moderate position against rampant bigoted attacks on minorities, about banning their mention in education, barring them from medical treatment and attempting to legislate them out of sports, clubs, even using the fucking toilet. There's no middle ground when they're sowing it with salt.

Oh. Right. Keir Starmerism. You might need Winston, because you lack the backbone and conviction to try and end his way too long career. A poll might mean you lose the psychotic transphobe vote, not that you ever fucking had it. Don't scare the horses, just harm the kids. Yeah great wonderful.

The Labour Party that got gay marriage into legislation, passed the BDMRR and banned conversion therapy should be able to clearly defend their own record and stand up for the ideological vandalism conducted against trans dignity and the LGBTQI community. If it can't, what the fuck are you doing.

Cool. Point me to the statement so I can show people, where Labour have clearly and publicly committed to repealing the ban.

(I am not blaming you for that. I'm trying to explain the frustration of hearing "they said it in private" when they haven't said it to the people who need to hear it the most.)

It’s insane that I have to say this, actually. We have the benefit of witnessing exactly what has happened overseas. If you believe we can’t get that bad, you’re wrong - especially if we don’t fight it.

I understand that. Gently, can you understand that "I heard from a friend that they said behind closed doors they'll for sure repeal it" isn't enough? Without a public commitment, we have nothing to give people hope with, & nothing to hold Labour accountable to. That doesn't scream "Labour cares."
