Ani I honour your skill in writing- persuasive, direct, informed, fearlessly searching for the truth and protecting those who have no voice- and a delight to read! A true journalist/social commentator. As soon as I can work the tech I'm gonna give you some dough! Keep writing please, we need it. I'll try to follow up your letter to the commisioner with one of my own. I also seriously question the Human Rights Commissioner's 'fitness for purpose'.
Let’s hope Roche and/or Goldsmith take note and do something about this dreadful situation.
Your point about trans ideology being homophobic is well made. It is also very anti-women.
We should be telling kids it’s perfectly fine to be gender non-conforming and that they are perfect as they are. Not poisoning and mutilating them in the name of the lie that humans can change sex.
Exactly! Such a long social battle for the right to be yourself, to non-conform as you choose, yet now that the battle for free expression has largely been won, they argue a need to ‘change their sex’ [sic] or ‘kids will kill themselves in droves’. Yet never have kids been more free to gender non-conform, so why the need to ‘trans’? It’s just bullshit. And predatory. And pretty fucking perverted if you ask me…
You are a very clear thinker, and writer. No ad hominem attacks, no gas-lighting, just facts and a clearly structured, and fairly-worded letter.
I have to ask, when you write your first draft do you use swear words? If I tried to pen a letter like yours it would be three times as long, due to the swear words, not because I have more to say on the topic.
Funnily enough often I do write a bit more pointedly and then edit it back haha same as when I post videos. I tend to cut out the stuff that is snarky even though I wish I left it in sometimes. The one I struggle to write evenhandedly about is Chris Hipkins. You’ll probably notice I’m a bit less generous to him haha
I wish simply to express my sincere thanks to you, Ani, for your defence of the legitimate actions of the government in this instance, & your equally legitimate defence of the long term wellbeing of children & youth, as yet too immature to absolutely inform what is in their best interest.
No surprises here, she identifies as queer and disabled. Given she's a captive of the cult, I'd agree with her self assessment. They're all queerly dysfunctional and their brains are disabled. In fact she's another Bussy Doyle, pink hair not withstanding. Disestablish the whole sick organisation. We'll save millions in taxpayers money. Put it into the hospitals.

"Consequently, reduced bone density, altered height and reduced fertility may occur as a result of treatment (28). Whether puberty blockers affect cognitive development remains an area of interest for researchers (29). However, preliminary research has not found any impairment to academic achievement, which would be expected if cognitive development was disrupted (30). Physical risks for gender-affirming hormones may include increased cardiovascular problems; reduced fertility; baldness and acne in the case of testosterone; and in the case of oestrogen, elevated risk of breast cancer (28, 31). For both oestrogen and testosterone, the risk of chronic disease later in life is not fully understood but it is likely that they will, in part, alter an individual's risk profile to more align with the gender that is being affirmed (28).

Not all heroes wear capes Ani…
Thanks for this 🙏🌹

A great letter. I am now, like you, anxiously waiting for Sir Brian's response.

Oh I think you’re still being incredibly generous in how you write about that little ginger twat Ani…
No comment… because I agree with your letter 100% Ani 😉
First class work Ani. We are in a battle of facts vs narrative. "Modern conversion therapy". Bang on description.
I wish simply to express my sincere thanks to you, Ani, for your defence of the legitimate actions of the government in this instance, & your equally legitimate defence of the long term wellbeing of children & youth, as yet too immature to absolutely inform what is in their best interest.
DEI hiring policies coming home to roost once again. Ani, we appreciate your tireless efforts, I hope you can have a well earned break soon ☺️

The science matters, and caution is needed.

I wouldn't gamble with my childrens' well-being!
Appreciate the Journal citation.
Well written Ani! Have you received any responses?
Not yet - will let you guys know once I do :)
Thank you!
and gals...
Excellent letter Ani.
With ample evidence to the fore, I'm not sure if I'm more concerned about puberty blockers being prescribed for pediatric medical intervention or the Human Rights Commissioner Prudence Walker.
A brilliant letter Ani. I really hope Sir Brian takes notice!
You are a brilliant thinker and writer Ani, thanks so much for this ❤️
Amazing work Ani, thank you.
