A recent Finnish study found that psychiatric problems tend to worsen rather than improve after the hormonal and surgical interventions offered by gender clinics. In simple terms, gender surgeries and permanent medical treatments for gender dysphoria may not be as helpful as we have been led to believe.

For the first time in the United Nations Commission on the Status of Women’s (CSW) 70-year history, the Agreed Conclusions were not adopted by consensus. Instead, they were subjected to a formal vote. The results: 37 in favour, 1 against, and 6 abstentions. The United States cast that sole “no” vote. Why? The document discusses “access to justice for all

We speak to NZ First leader Winston Peters about the recent Government announcement to ban puberty blockers, and the uphill battle to get the decision across the line. We also touch on the new RSE guidelines and proposals for parent consultation.

Yesterday was a good day. A superb decision by the Government to ban the prescribing of puberty blockers. A great day for safeguarding children and protecting minors from experimental treatment and irreversible decisions. Bob outlines why it was the only decision the Government could make.

Family First NZ is applauding the government’s decision to end the use of GnRHa hormones (usually referred to as ‘puberty blockers’) for vulnerable young people who are confused about their biological sex.
