Cis folk in Aotearoa Te Waipounamu: worth writing to/letting your local MP candidates know of your support for trans kids & trans people Let your MPs know of your support for the Courts decision that it was unlawful of our govt to ban new prescriptions of puberty blockers We need to because...

To trans young people and your whānau: we’re sorry you were subjected to this injustice. I hope it brings some comfort knowing how hard so many people are fighting for your right to live as who you are. patha.nz/assets/RPS-J...

PATHA statement: PATHA is pleased to announce that the High Court has declared that the decision to ban new prescriptions of puberty blocker medication (GnRH agonists) for trans young people was unlawful and invalid.

4) Also, why - anon, unbylined RNZ journo - does family fist get to comment? Why are their views on medical decisions relevant? They have no expertise & they're not a party to the case. Treating anything about queer people as somehow a topic for debate is a good e.g. of low key systemic queerphobia.

It felt like this day would never come but: the attempted ban on the prescription of reversible pubertal suppression to transgender young people in Aotearoa has been declared unlawful and set aside, and recognised as discriminatory. www.courtsofnz.govt.nz/assets/cases...
