Our CEO Paul Thistoll has written this piece in The Spinoff on why it's time to add gender explicitly to the NZ Human Rights Act.

Please share far and wide!!!!

It’s only ROGD if it comes from the Providence region of the USA. Otherwise it’s just sparkling social contagion. Duh.

Anti-trans hack Ben Ryan got furious at suggestions the Cass final report referred to the unevidenced social contagion theory of being trans, aka ROGD (it did).

But now he’s trying to cast doubt on the whole idea of whether being trans is real, as if by magic, it does.

People keep saying how qualified Cass was to lead the review… her areas of study were autism, opioids and palliative care for children… none of those are relevant to gender. Paediatrician does not make you an expert in every aspect of medicine relating to children

damn dude maybe y'all should do something about that then

Do we have a good sense of who is funding all this? Bc on the other side of things we have busy academics and clinicians who can't fly around the country/world or get time off work to lobby.

Though if someone wants to cover my expenses and lost income to do this, I sure would.

Leza, I agree it’s a terrible phrase but THIS is NOT how you make it sound terrible. 😂 You’re making it sound metal as fuck!

You cannot call yourself a democracy while suppressing media to this extent. You cannot call yourself a democracy while so blatantly violating the rule of law, legislating against your political enemies by name.

We regret cabinet decision to close Al Jazeera in Israel. A free & independent media is essential to ensuring transparency & accountability. Now, even more so given tight restrictions on reporting from Gaza. Freedom of expression is a key human right. We urge govt to overturn ban

About 8,000 people gathered in Paris to defend trans rights and fight back against attacks from the far right and conservatives. Demonstrations took place in over 50 cities in France and Belgium.
Let this be the start of an international movement of solidarity and sisterhood 🏳️‍⚧️💜

The government is embarking on a disgusting experiment.

By preventing all access to hormones and hormone blockers it is trying to see how many young trans people it can kill by withholding healthcare.

It's pretty much official. Benjamin Ryan is not a journalist, he's an anti trans activist with a substack.

How is Badenoch still in post? She’s an absolute disaster

I’m ready for us to have the conversation about how students treat their Black professors more generally. It’s very ugly.
