Note the invitation to complain to the HRC about "discrimination on the ground of sex, including gender identity, gender expression and innate variations of sex characteristics" at the end.
I will certainly be doing so.

One of the things cis women have long fought for bodily autonomy with are cries such as "get your laws off my body" & "my body, my choice" ... trans folks are no different.
This is why the ban on puberty blockers for trans folks is so incredibly stupid and ideological.

Halt to puberty blockers curses 'young transgender women to stigma'
That's the reaction of a model who used puberty blockers as a teen to rules halting new prescriptions for young people.

It would be great if COP hosts really demonstrate they will have plenty of accommodation available...So when you get locked out of your apartment at 1am it’s not impossible to get an emergency hotel!

It’s too early yet to know what to make of tonight’s news that Türkiye will physically host #COP31, with Australia as President & some partnership with the Pacific. But at least for my community, this is a really tough blow at a critical time & it will reduce our participation.

In the last chapter of Alice’s memoir, “Year of the Tiger,” she wrote her own future obituary.
The wonderful “oracle, storyteller, cyborg, trouble-maker, activist, night owl” we loved so much closed it with:
“Enjoy all of Alice’s good shit, and may you create some good shit as well.”

Our beloved Alice Wong has joined the ancestors. It was one of the great honors of my life to call Alice my friend, co-author & co-conspirator. She was a true genius, a force of nature the likes of which the world has never seen before. I love you, Alice, and am equal parts grateful and devastated

Losing Tinu last year and now Alice. I am heartbroken. There's been way too much loss in the disability community. So many people are now gone. Too many to list.
Both Tinu and Alice both helped shape the person I am today. I wouldn't be alive without their help & support.

NZ is moving quickly from taking selfies with some of the worst people in the world to implementing the same values and behaviour as policy - it can’t continue.
