Rallies for access to puberty suppression medicines!
We know its been a bit of a hectic time for rainbow organisations, activist groups, and people dealing with anti-transgender extreme measures from the government, like banning GnRH blockers for trans people (of all ages). It's great to get together and talk about things, to support each other, and to take action for the collective good, regardless of whether we're directly affected or not.

Here are some events where you can do that!

The new Gender Affirming Healthcare Guidelines for Aotearoa New Zealand (2025 edition) are now available!

These are the only gender affirming care guidelines from Health New Zealand / Te Whatu Ora, and should be considered the official NZ guidelines.

We sincerely appreciate the huge efforts from PATHA, who not only wrote these guidelines, but also made an OIA earlier this year to have them released into the public domain. Now they have been released under OIA, PATHA has put them up on its website.

You can also find them under 'clinical guidelines' on the Practice Guides page of our website.

Transgender health information. Primary health resources, clinical guidelines, informed consent, gender affirming healthcare practice guides.

Nice work Auckland Pride.

“The development of the Guiding Principles followed a robust consultation process shaped by affected communities. The Minister’s decision did not,”says Auckland Pride spokesperson Bhen Goodsir.

🏳️‍⚧️ We are deeply concerned by the Government’s announcement to halt new puberty blocker prescriptions for gender-affirming care.

Gender-affirming healthcare is healthcare. It is a vital part of the right to health, dignity and wellbeing for trans and gender-diverse people.

The Professional Association for Transgender Health Aotearoa (PATHA) has strongly condemned this decision.

All people deserve to live in a society where they can be themselves, treated with respect, dignity and equality, free from discrimination and prejudice.

Human rights must guide every decision about healthcare. No exceptions.
