Such a clear article exposing the decision of the cabinet as political not clinical. A great read. 🏳️‍⚧️

Health officials said there was 'no evidence base' about the likely impacts of the Government's decision to ban puberty blockers for transgender youth.

A win for our trans community today! 🏳️‍⚧️💖

The ban on new prescriptions of puberty blockers to treat gender dysphoria in young people was due to come into effect this week.

✨ “Set in Stone” Support our local takatāpui rangatahi through buying a ticket to this theatre show as part of Fringe in the ‘Stings. ❤️‍🔥

🎟️https://www.eventfinda.co.nz/2025/set-in-stone/hastings
🗓️ Friday 21st November 7:30pm
📍118 Karamu Road North, Hastings

Inspired by the life of a local trans woman whose courage has shaped her journey against the odds, this piece of verbatim theatre explores truth, memory, and transformation.

What does it mean to carve out an identity in a place that does not always see you? What is carried in the body, the voice, and the heart when the world says no and you choose to say yes?
