TRANS RIGHTS ARE HUMAN RIGHTS
1. A landmark study was just published in The Journal of Pediatrics.
It found a 68% reduction in suicidality for trans youth getting HRT.
It also found only 7 of more than 400 stopped taking HRT... and of those that did, 4 still identified as gender-diverse.
Transgender care saves lives.

Everyone, I have written to Dr Verrall saying that the lack of a formal statement from the Labour Party decrying the new blockers policy is unacceptable.
Please email her politely and ask her to issue a formal statement on behalf of Labour.
The Greens and TPM have both issued good statements.

Everyone please write to labour:
Chris Hipkins
Ayesha Verrall
Shanan Halbert
Duncan Webb (as this is a human rights issue)
And ask them to make a strong statement saying they will instantly repeal the regulation. Apply as much pressure as possible to the Government.

Morning folks! I’ve a favour to ask. I’m finally in a position to launch a crowdfunding campaign to help recover some of the money I had to spend taking my employer to court for contract breaches. If you’ve any ideas for things I could offer as rewards let me know! Or if you could offer a reward :)

The issue for Hipkins and Labour is that until they commit to — and implement — increasing taxes on the wealthy and bringing in a Capital Gains Tax, they won’t have the revenue to fund welfare to lift people out of poverty, plus increase health, education and housing spending.
