There is a info page on Gender Minorities, but it contains the usual curated talkpoints, but will link fyi: https://genderminorities.com/2021/03/28/detransition-support/
Out of interest's sake, because I have been involved in many of these discussions and am unaware of regular commenters who used "language full of vitriol and disgusting slurs against trans people, primarily trans women." - I thought I'd go and have a look ...
I agree with you Anker. Thanks weka for providing such a clear outline of what needs to be discussed, which can act as a primer for those who want to know more.

Puberty for young people is a difficult time. We all know it. Psychologists and child development experts know it. Body changes, hormone fluctuations, social engagement, distancing from family, peer connections all have significant impacts on individuals. ...
@Robert Guyton "The Cass review is an opportunity to pause, recalibrate, and place evidence informed care at the heart of gender medicine. It is an opportunity not to be missed for the sake of the health of children and young people. It is an opportunity ...
"It's really hard to write a post on this that isn't a novel." I think it's impossible to be honest. Can only be broken down into small - but still very dense - segments.
Just clearing out my bookmarks, and this is good link to Alasdair Gunn from Genspect, talking about the treatment of chidren. (Link provides transcript, which I prefer to watching the video) https://www.theepochtimes.com/epochtv/how-the-gender-industry-has...
I agree - his unstated point - was to make that distinction. It reads to me as someone who is telling others what they are to prioritise and spend their energy on. The sideways approach to telling women to stop talking. (I also note that Drowsy's comment ...
Since you are so appreciative, here's another suggestion. Drowsy's comment is still standing alone in the TS playground. Instead of replying to me, go and play with him in the game you obviously prefer...
Missed a bit of context there - Robert (again). - two different completely different threads; - weka was participating in a conversation with others putting her own thoughts down; - Drowsy M Kram was initiating one with their style of posting links to ...
I enjoy the exchange of info here too, @That_guy, but also post knowing that there may be some who retain intellectual curiosity, and will start to look into the issue because others have posted some starting points to investigate. Forever the optimist...
The evidence of harm has been around for decades, but ignored. Genevieve Gluck posted this in 2021, linking to news stories from 2001: https://genevievegluck.substack.com/p/puberty-blockers-and-the-medical "Endocrinologist Dr. Will Malone, who is one of ...
@weka Thanks for the link
No, I did not. Thank you for that information.
The "review" of puberty blockers initiated by the outgoing government - is due out next week: https://www.health.govt.nz/news-media/news-items/mental-health-and-wellbeing-inform-evidence-brief-puberty-blockers Apparently, PATHA was contracted to conduct ...
Thank you, Dolomedes III. Then I might get on with a letter to Minister for ACC, Hon Matt Doocey, and an OIA for Dr Tracey Batten as Chair and David Hunt as Deputy Chair to the Board of ACC to see what mechanism they can use to change the identified ...
As substantive - and harder to dismiss - evidence comes to public awareness, insurance companies may play a big part in stopping harmful procedures as they will not insure doctors or surgeons, or pay for treatments via health insurance. Does anyone know if...
This issue should concern all the adults in NZ, Robert. You're either one of them, or you are not.
The one aspect of politicians that may work in favour, is their chameleon ability to change position as the political background changes. Public awareness changes the political background. What is required here is immense effort, and care must be taken to ...
@Robert Guyton - A strange response. What do you think you are contributing here - other than a exposure of some of your less savoury personality traits? visubversa, posted this: "Thousands of kids have been harmed by this ideology, along with many, many ...
PATHA - Professional Association for Transgender Health Aotearoa references WPATH SOC8 in their guidelines: "We recommend healthcare providers refer to the latest Standards of Care version 8 (SOC-8), released by the World Professional Association for ...
Christina Buttons has just posted an article about the circular "citation cartel" when it comes to referencing for "affirmation only" healthcare. Worth the read, which clearly identifies what many have previously understood and tried to draw attention to. ...
@Drowsy M. Kram "Facts of all kinds have been regularly 'upstaged' by human beliefs, not to mention by new knowledge, since time immemorial." Yes. When a new concept or theory is proposed that answers more questions than it creates. Usually accompanied by ...
@Robert Guyton "It"? - that which you mean kindly. "Calling what "circular logic?" Going around in circles a bit yourself here, so linking to my reply to get you back on the straight and narrow: https://thestandard.org.nz/open-mike-10-04-2024/#comment-...
"It seems very much like that," - but it's not. The reasoning behind "Transwomen are women" is an example of circular logic.
"Is that like saying all Māori are animists?" No.
Cats, with their independent spirit and beguiling purrs, have captured the hearts of humans for millennia. In New Zealand, felines are no exception, boasting the highest national cat ownership rate globally [definition cat nz cat foundation].
