Critics warn move could have devastating impact on lives and wellbeing of those affectedThe GuardianEva CorlettWed 19 Nov 2025New Zealand has announced it is banning new prescriptions of puberty-blocking drugs for young transgender people, in a move that critics warned could worsen the mental health of those affected.The step comes amid growing global debate about the number of adolescents seeking to change gender, dividing those concerned about hastiness in prescribing such medications and those worried about access to remedies they deem lifesaving.[...]The decision resulted from a health ministry finding of a lack of “high-quality evidence that demonstrates the benefits or risks”, Brown added in a statement.
But there's no evidence! Every medical association in the world has not found anything dangerous in prescribing puberty blockers!!!!
This isn't about trans people, this is about people who are different! People who don't fit the right-wing image of people. Mother nature likes to experiment and sometimes that results in intersex babies.
Restrictions on gender-affirming care for minors consistently allow exceptions for minors with intersex traits, study findsStat 10By Theresa GaffneyNov. 14, 2025The scars have been there as long as Emory Hufbauer can remember.When Hufbauer was a baby, doctors performed an operation that Hufbauer describes generally as one that took away their fertility and their ability to produce their own hormones; they also describe it emphatically as intersex genital mutilation.It was the first of a series of medical interventions they received as a young person in order to organize their body more neatly into a gender binary. Because they couldn’t produce their own hormones after the procedure, they had to take medication. By age 7 or 8, they began expressing that they didn’t like the hormones that were selected for them. But they didn’t learn the word “intersex” until they were a teenager, online. And they didn’t start talking to their parents about it or advocating for themselves and others until they were a legal adult.
We need to make them fit what our idea of normal is!
There are almost as many people with intersex traits — unique variations in sex characteristics or reproductive anatomy — as there are people with naturally red hair, according to some estimates. (Up to 1.7% of the global population.) There are more than 30 possible variations that can involve a person’s chromosomes, hormones, or organs like testes, ovaries, and more.There’s little research on the experiences of people who have these variations, but advocates and community groups report that nonconsensual medical interventions are common. In rare cases, they say, there may be a legitimate reason to operate on an infant with intersex traits — for example, if a certain variation carries a known, high risk of cancer developing. In most cases, the difference is benign and intervention is not medically necessary.
We can't have the surgery that we need but they want operate on months old to "correct" them.
