Campaign Launch: Send a copy of Time to Think to someone who needs to read it
Time to Think by Hannah Barnes was one the Listener best books of 2023. The book exposes how safeguarding concerns got lost as professionals came under pressure to affirm children’s identity and prescribe puberty blockers.
By sponsoring a copy of Time to Think along with a an accompanying letter, and copy of Professor Charlotte Paul’s North and South article detailing the New Zealand context we can ensure New Zealand politicians and medical leaders cannot plead ignorance of the issue.
Time to Think is meticulously evidenced based on internal documents, legal testimonies and hundreds of hours of interviews with clinicians, patients and parents.
The NHS is now advising the restriction of puberty blockers for gender-questioning young people to medical trials. However in New Zealand puberty blockers are still widely available and used on gender-questioning young people at more than 10 times the rate in England.
The media in New Zealand with some exceptions has been complacent or actively opposed to covering the issue in an in-depth and balanced way. As a result, New Zealand politicians and medical leaders have an imperfect awareness of the scandal.
Please donate and share the campaign site linked below with your networks. We anticipate a number of international and local developments this year and politicians and medical leaders will need to get up to speed. Time to Think and Professor Paul’s article are the best means to achieve this.
If you have a personal or professional connection to a politician or medical leader who needs to read it, or have a suggestion we would love to hear from you. Please get in touch by emailing [email protected] .
