The letters from my firm that have generated the hysteria reported by @rnz_news set out legal implications in New Zealand of the UK Cass Report that resulted in prompt decisions by numerous overseas authorities, to stop or to restrict puberty blocker drug treatment for minors.
The letters were also informed by a recent New Zealand Ministry of Health evidence brief. We highlighted risks for health practitioners providing what is called ‘gender affirming care’ if they do not ensure they have an up to date understanding of the evidence on the balance between the benefit and the harm of such treatment.
As lawyers we take seriously our duties to:
- Accept work in a field where we profess to be competent to practice (the ‘cab rank rule’); and
- To not misinform or misdirect as to the legal basis for the statements we make on behalf of our clients.
It would be unethical for us to withdraw from acting for a client due to threats or criticisms of their views by others.
The hostile attention to this client service is peculiar. The New Zealand Government has been consulting on exactly the issues raised by our correspondence. Having outlined the known risks and the poor information supporting previous claims of safety, it is considering restrictions of the kind our client advocates to reduce the risk of irreversible harms. Our client asked us to research the liability that might accrue from the odd delay in changing practice in New Zealand. We were then asked to write to practitioners in the area because our client believes that some of them have their heads in the sand, refusing to acknowledge the now well established absence of the normally required evidence of net benefit to justify the use of harmful drugs.
The hysterical criticism of this firm seems to confirm our client’s concerns. In our opinion Te Whatu Ora and/or the Health and Disability Commissioner and/or the Ministry of Health should have written exactly the kind of letter our client instructed us to write. It might have helped to reduce the risk of avoidable and irreversible harm to minors who believe they are gender-dysphoric, accumulating while the New Zealand government decides whether to follow the UK government lead. It might have also helped to reduce the liability risk to practitioners. lawlaw.https://t.co/5NeNDPH9Lb

@koshercockney @PreislerKa This is what happens when we allow our hatred for others to consume us 😞

@PronouncedHare If the insult prompted a positive change in my own country I'd consider that a plus

@the_salty_one_ To resolve all the issues currently being raised about the tax-payer funded lunches simple stop them altogether. No more complaints about content or quality.

[Ora @aurattii]

@saltyreigns @dylan11951 So do you change the noisy ones at the top of their particular little fiefdoms, or do you promote somebody new. What's the best way to do that? Having observed the hornet's nest @MatuaKahurangi has kicked up this week no obvious answers are appearing

[Ora @aurattii]

@saltyreigns @dylan11951 And it appears that most of the people in that position do not want to loose it speaking out against the very loud and more publicised mobs

[Ora @aurattii]

@saltyreigns @dylan11951 It seems like it still requires someone who maori and people in general will listen to for starters I guess.

[Ora @aurattii]

@saltyreigns I naively, and overly-optimistically, want to believe that most maori are not that stupid

[Ora @aurattii]

@saltyreigns @dylan11951 I didn't realise we had the option to throw our 'leaders' out tbh. Seems to be you are included in the positions of influence based on your willingness to comply to the status quo.

“If there is no equality of outcomes among people born to the same parents and raised under the same roof, why should equality of outcomes be expected—or assumed—when conditions are not nearly so comparable?”

@saltyreigns The “diversity is our strength” brigade need to adopt this as their anthem 🤣
