It took several weeks and several reiterations, with every statement in it backed up by robust evidence, and then labelled as an ‘opinion’ piece, but the NZ Herald finally published an article about puberty blockers which wasn’t hot off the press from transgender advocates or lobbyists.
Awesome that this was published. Now how do we get this out into the wider media in NZ???Every GP should be reading this. The stats are pretty horrifying.
Most mainstream media are captured by trans ideology, or too cowered from knowing the backlash they’ll get, so won’t re-publish Jan’s article. However, it can be shared on social media, and even emailed to GPs directly, I guess. It’s frustrating, eh?
Great article. What shocks me — and hopefully everyone else — is the statistic of NZ children prescribed puberty blockers compared to the UK. Given that the UK at 67 million has a vastly larger population than NZ’s 5 million, I would also like to have seen it expressed as a percentage or per capita. If I’ve done my calculations correctly, NZ’s rate of prescription is almost 10 times that of the UK.
How did you calculate that? I multiplied NZ's 700 who've been prescribed puberty blockers by 13, the number by which the UK roughly exceeds NZ's population. Was that the wrong way to do it?
This is about time!!!!!!!!!!! Imagine finding out your child had been started on these without your consent.... I worked in health and heard of this happening. Thank goodness it's starting to get out there. Although so many people are so brainwashed by it already

Incredibly frustrating!!

Yes, that’s the same calculation that others have arrived at.
It is around 17 times by my calculation.

Not sure how you got to 17x but here's my calculations:
UK 1,000/67,000,000=0.001493%
NZ 703/5,000,000=0.014060% which is 9.42x the UK
i.e. if NZ's rate was the same as the UK's the number of NZ children would be 74.6.
thank you so much for this. it is a glimmer of hope.
