Just when you thought the media was done, the Herald comes out pimping for trannies, their enablers and, in this case, a tranny raising a kid to be a tranny.
“What do you want me to call you?”
“Oh, I really prefer to go by Zoe, but most of my family call me David.”
The woman who asked the question was Julia, a 36-year-old building industry worker.
She has now been Zoe’s guardian for five years, after Zoe’s mum struggled to accept her daughter’s gender identity, she tells the Herald.
For some transgender young people, like Zoe, who is now 19, entering puberty can be distressing.
In other words, Zoe’s mum didn’t “struggle”. She understood perfectly well that her daughter suffers from gender dysphoria. But then along comes “Julia”, actually “Jude the dude”, who convinces everyone else that Zoe is really a dude with boobs and wrangles his way into being Zoe’s guardian.
[…] According to the 2023 Census, there are more than 26,000 transgender people in Aotearoa. That’s around 0.5 per cent of the total population. It also found 15,039 people were born with a variation of sex characteristics.
So roughly 0.5 per cent of the population suffers from gender dysphoria.
[…] New prescriptions for puberty blockers were to be banned on December 19, 2025. Introduced last November, the policy under the Medicines Act prevented clinicians from prescribing puberty blockers to new patients who are transgender children, or adolescents experiencing gender dysphoria or gender incongruence.
The latter is the psychological distress arising from the feeling of being born in the wrong body, or assigned the wrong sex at birth.
No one is born in the wrong body. In fact gender dysphoria or gender incongruence can’t both be true at the same time. You are either born in the wrong body or think you’re born in the wrong body. And since you can’t be born in the wrong body, “gender incongruence” is bullshit.
However, on December 17, an urgent injunction filed by Professional Association for Trans Health Aotearoa (PATHA) was granted by the High Court, halting the regulations from coming into force until a judicial review on May 6–7.
[…] Health Minister Simeon Brown was prompted to introduce the new policy after the findings of the 2024 Cass Review, an independent report commissioned by NHS England and authored by Dr Hilary Cass, which said gender medicine was built on “shaky foundations”.
[…] Puberty blockers have been used clinically in New Zealand for more than 30 years to treat children experiencing precocious or early-onset puberty.
It’s common to use them to also treat breast and prostate cancers, endometriosis and polycystic ovary syndrome for children and adults.
Note how gender dysphoria is not listed.
Hitting the pause button on puberty allows transgender young people to have time to “psychologically mature and become old enough to make decisions that will have permanent implications for their later body appearance”, explains Professor Paul Hofman, a paediatric endocrinologist from the University of Auckland.
“Many, if not the majority, of these youth, react negatively to developing secondary sexual characteristics [physical traits caused by puberty such as the development of breasts or facial hair] that are of the gender they don’t feel they are.”
Let’s stop for a second because if you’re not horrified by this you should be. We are talking about children who have just entered puberty (in some cases even before, depending on the parents). And this is not for the child’s mental health, but so that they are able to mutilate themselves and appear to be the opposite sex.
“[…] A 2022 Counting Ourselves survey report published in February researched the health and wellbeing of New Zealand trans and non-binary people.
It identified that half of the 2631 participants had deliberately injured themselves, and over half had seriously considered suicide at least once.
About 10 per cent had attempted suicide.”
Yes, because they all suffer from mental illness and don’t get the help they really need.
