A medium shot shows a young man with curly brown hair and a shocked expression in the middle of a crowded, dimly lit dance floor. He wears a white Billabong t-shirt and looks directly off-camera with wide eyes and an open mouth. Surround him are other people dancing, including a woman with a flower in her hair to his right. The lighting is warm and slightly hazy, characteristic of a night club or party atmosphere.

It's being reported that New Zealand has banned puberty blockers for transgender youth. I removed New Zealand from my recommendations to families fleeing a while back after the far right saw a surge in power in the country. Sad day for NZ trans youth.
Cabinet has agreed to introduce new safeguards on the prescribing of gonadotropin-releasing hormone analogues, while ensuring patients with medical needs can continue to access appropriate care, Health Minister Simeon Brown says.

"We are putting in place stronger safeguards so families can have confidence that any treatment is clinically sound and in the best interests of the young person or child.

"Gonadotropin-releasing hormone analogues play an important role in treating a range of medical conditions. We are ensuring they remain available for patients who need them for conditions such as early-onset puberty, endometriosis, or prostate cancer, where there is strong clinical evidence of benefit."

The Ministry of Health’s evidence brief found that there is a lack of high-quality evidence that demonstrates the benefits or risks of the use of gonadotropin-releasing hormone analogues for the treatment of gender dysphoria or incongruence. While this uncertainty persists, the Government is taking a precautionary approach.

Following public consultation, Cabinet has agreed to introduce new regulations under the Medicines Act to align New Zealand's approach with the United Kingdom:

New patients seeking treatment for gender dysphoria or incongruence can no longer be prescribed gonadotropin-releasing hormone analogues, pending the completion of the United Kingdom's clinical trial on their use in this context.
Ensure existing youth gender services are maintained for young people experiencing gender dysphoria or incongruence and bringing these services together through a central, accessible online resource.
"These changes will ensure a more consistent and carefully monitored approach. This mirrors steps taken in other countries, such as the United Kingdom, Finland, Norway, and Sweden, where additional safeguards have recently been implemented to ensure decisions are made in line with the best available evidence," Mr Brown says.

The new approach will not impact patients cu…

AI has gotten so woke these days
A screenshot showing a picture of a tree with some branches near a power line. An AI (Gemini) is asked "How do I safely prune this tree?". 

AI responds by saying "​This is a situation where safety is the absolute number one priority.
​WARNING: DO NOT ATTEMPT TO PRUNE THIS TREE YOURSELF
​The branches of the tree in your photo are extremely close to, and possibly touching, overhead wires. These could be high-voltage power lines, and attempting to prune them yourself poses a severe risk of electrocution, serious injury, or death.
​Here's why this is so dangerous and what you must do instead:"

Groups like @redcanarysong.bsky.social and @decrimsexworkca.bsky.social are doing critical aid for workers who maybe to afraid to leave the house or are being pressured to drop rates or see riskier clients. They are desperate for more funding and support.
Few immigrant rights organizations defend migrant sex workers. Support mainly comes from other sex workers in underfunded grassroots groups like Red Canary Song, Trans Immigrant Project, and DecrimSexWorkCA, the last of which has organized ICE patrols, and distributed over $20,000 in emergency relief to undocumented and other sex workers since 2023. Their model is mutual aid, not charity.

You can't meet your enemy halfway on a pipeline of moral panics cooked up in a Nazi propaganda lab. Capitulation just alienates chunks of your own voter base by signaling to them that you're willing to sell them down the river for an ever-receding "average voter" who exists only on a spreadsheet.
