Ep 146: Olive Nuttall and Pip chat at Verb 2024 LitCrawl

27 Nov 2024

Description

Very grateful to Damien Levi for programming this live recording of Better off Read with the amazing Olive Nuttall at Verb Wellington 2024 Thanks also to Alistair from Alistair’s Music who hosted this event. Olive and I talked about swords and Olive's book kitten published by Te Herenga Waka University Press Content Note: This conversation includes mentions of CSA. Action: New Zealand Ministry of Health - Impact of Puberty Blockers in Gender-Dysphoric Adolescents: An evidence brief I know there is a lot going on but I'd love it if you took some time to read about the Ministry of Health's evidence brief and position paper on puberty blockers. In particular this article which reports on leading transgender health professionals' concern that the government is directing the Ministry of Health to consult the public over gender affirming healthcare. These health professionals say, Public consultation on a medical matter is inappropriate. You can read the article here: Transgender health professionals worried about public consultation over gender affirming healthcare I also found this statement on the paper from Gender Minorities Aotearoa extremely useful. Trans-only restrictions Unfortunately, I fear we are in for some dark times for transgender rights. The government's reaction and direction concerning this paper, released the day after Transgender Day of Remembrance, feels like it may be a sign of things to come.
