This is horrifying. 2018. Young woman, disabled, early 20s, Mirena inserted by 5th yr med student. 5 days later, worsening abdominal pain, sees GP who checks notes, finds lack of consent.

Southern DHB failed to obtain consent for sensitive procedure

Iโ€™m glad that adult human females are a big fan of my columns and they drive up the traffic on my columns every week by reading it for entertainment. Appreciated ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿฝ

The attacks on Eddie Izzard really blows apart โ€˜Gender Criticalโ€™ claims not to be transphobic.

Izzard hasnโ€™t been particularly vocal on trans issues. Sheโ€™s not competing on an All Womenโ€™s Shortlist.

Sheโ€™s literally just a trans person standing for public office. Thatโ€™s it.

Anne Wallis โšข๐Ÿšบ๐Ÿ‡ณ๐Ÿ‡ฟ Shaneel Lal ๐Ÿงš๐Ÿป (They/Them) The whole point of being queer is that the person decides for themselves not someone else, and certainly not someone who chooses to police other peopleโ€™s identification. Why donโ€™t you just worry about yourself and leave gay queers alone?

Transphobes are, simply put, not very educated. The blanket ban on gay blood donation affects cis gay men, trans women and non-binary folk. It doesnโ€™t take a genius to figure that out. My article explains this anyway - comprehension is not your strong suit, is it, Anne?

After sending 7 emails over 3 months to the New Zealand Blood Services, the NZBS have failed to explain why New Zealand still has a blanket ban on blood donation for gay men. In fact, NZBS have started ignoring me now. Itโ€™s time to lift the ban. nzherald.co.nz/nz/shaneel-lalโ€ฆ

If you needed blood, would you accept blood from a gay man?

Ps, read my column in the Herald tomorrow about lifting the blanket blood donation ban on gay men.

National overlooked Karen Kurigerโ€™s not fully declared conflict of interest but took action on Nanaia Mahutaโ€™s one which was fully declared. Hmm

It makes no sense to ban gay men from donating blood.
I would happily take a transfusion of blood that was donated by a gay man.
Time to take away the old and tired stigma that surrounds this issue.
