Nobody has a responsibility to stay online against their own best interests just so people you really don’t know very well won’t worry about you.
That’s a fucked up way to live.

You see, Pablo Escobar imported like four hippos for his private zoo in Hacienda Napoles in Columbia in the 1970s. And now... they're just free.
Inbred cocaine hippos are just all the fuck over now. There were 50 in 2019.
There were 170 in 2023.

So many doctors, medical experts, paediatric organisations, human rights organisations, and medical organisations coming out against the government’s ban on puberty blockers.
It’s a tsunami of support for the trans community, and boy are the anti-trans bigots mad about it.

I feel the general public has been complacent & unbothered with the creep of fascist authoritarianism imported to AoNz - but it’s here- this abuse of Trans whanau is way past bots online or Destiny ranting.

I have zero confidence right now that the opposition will reverse this ban on puberty blockers for trans youth.

Tautoko what Te Manahou says here: these medications have some real significant all-of-life benefits for trans people. When we say Brown is condemning a generation of trans people, it’s not a metaphor. www.rnz.co.nz/news/politic...
Halt to puberty blockers curses 'young transgender women to stigma'
That's the reaction of a model who used puberty blockers as a teen to rules halting new prescriptions for young people.

Donate (if you can) to parties who are fighting this, write your MPs to express how utterly fucked it is (using probably better language), and do whatever else you can think of/is within your means to do to fight this!!!! We DO NOT need this bigoted crap getting into our medical settings!!!!
Today is Transgender Day Of Remembrance.
Last night the New Zealand government chose to announce that they are blocking access to puberty blockers for trans youth.

I’ve got a couple of albums by trans people I’m going to listen to today
ANOHNI’s “My Bridge Was A Back for You To Cross” (below) is the most important. It’s a brilliant album. Beautiful, heartbreaking, angry, defiant
