Meanwhile in NZ…..again

[FairScunnered]

**The Justice Minister says it's not okay for parents to tell their 12 year old they can't go on hormone blockers.

I really hate the way they link gender identity with sexual orientation. They are not the same.

Shocking. You aren't allowed to protect your own children. Super woke.

The families there must be terrified

This is just truly unbelievable.

Gender identity can be fluid, yet you can't change gender identity?

State sanctioned child abuse.

Wow.

Jesus.

Those kids are absolutely fucked.

At the end of the article:
------
Faafoi said the definition of conversion practice would ensure health practitioners providing health services would not be captured [I assume he means "included"?], nor will people providing legitimate counselling, support and advice.

"General expressions of religious beliefs or principles about sexuality and gender will also not be captured," Faafoi said.

It sounds to me like he's saying the only parents who can't object to puberty blockers are gender critical ones. Anybody who can find a religious or mental health or medical or really anything reason, can go right ahead.

What a gumball.

Some strange things go on in NZ. We lived there for a while. On one hand it’s incredibly woke, thinks itself as terribly enlightened, way ahead on Green credentials etc…

On the other hand however, it has deeply entrenched gender stereotypes ( one of the reasons we left as I didn’t want ds raised in that culture). There is also a lot of domestic and family violence for a relatively small population.
There is no doubt NZ will be patting itself on the back for pushing the transgender thing, meanwhile the macho culture will continue. Really odd.

Really odd.

Not really.
