LGB Alliance Aotearoa New Zealand wishes to express our concern over the use of puberty blockers being prescribed as a treatment for “gender” issues for children and youth under the age of 18.

We won’t stand by silent while the legitimate gay rights movement is corrupted and brought into disrepute by the excesses and unethical practices of the TQ+ gender identity movement and its force-teaming with LGB.

We strongly hold the position that as a sex-class, women and girls are relevant stakeholders to maintaining integrity in the sports and recreation sector. The separation of sports on the basis of sex is to ensure that males can be excluded from female sports categories where strength, stamina, and physique are relevant.

LGB Alliance Aotearoa New Zealand recommends that Schedule 23 Clause 1(1)(a)(ii) of the Act remain unchanged and not be replaced by Clause 38 (1) proposals in this amendment bill. We believe the current provisions in the Act for selecting co-opted and appointed members of school boards, particularly Schedule 23 Clause 1(1)(a)(iv), permit for the diversity of school communities to be considered. We also believe that the privacy of students and other school community members are paramount and they should not be required to disclose highly sensitive information like their 'sexualities' or 'gender[identities]'.
