  • Transgender care waiting list to close due to resourcing concerns

    Jump

  • Dr Moran of the NGS criticised the Labour Party motion as "significantly misinformed" in many regards, including the reference to WHO guidelines. "There are no WHO guidelines regarding Gender Healthcare, and there have never been," he said.

    He also criticised WPATH, saying what he called "the most extensive and authoritative review of evidence in Gender Healthcare," by UK paediatrician Hilary Cass, "found that the WPATH Standards of Care (SOC8) were not evidence based and unfounded."

    Speaking to Prime Time, Deputy Sherlock defended her motion, stating that it "is part of a constructive contribution to the redevelopment process" for a new model of transgender healthcare.

    She criticised the lengthy waiting times at the NGS, stating that "if you are trans and waiting for four years to see somebody, it leads to other outcomes in terms of self-medicating."

    In it, she said, "No country is perfect but we can learn a lot from Iceland, Malta, Spain and Australia. Malta is a small country like our own. It has shown the way. Its model is a de-pathologised model, building on maximising the health and psychological well-being of the individual."

  • Cis "Squid Game" actor says he didn't want his trans character to be a "caricature"

    Jump

  • While Park did not directly address the backlash, he noted in a January 8 interview with local reporters that he approached the role with “caution,” and consulted with actual trans people in an effort to make sure Hyun-ju would not come off as a “caricature,” according to Korea JoongAng Daily, the English language edition of South Korean daily newspaper JoongAng Ilbo.

    Hwang, meanwhile, addressed criticism of his casting of Park late last month, telling TVGuide.com that while he initially intended to cast a transgender actress, “there are close to no actors that are openly trans, let alone openly gay, because unfortunately in the Korean society currently the LGBTQ community is rather still marginalized and more neglected, which is heartbreaking.”

    In a subsequent interview with Decider, Hwang explained why he felt it was important to include a trans character in the show’s second season.

    “I saw the people who come to join the games in Squid Game as people who are usually marginalized or neglected from society, and not just financially speaking,” he said. “Today, unfortunately, in Korean society, the gender minority is a group that is not as accepted widely within society. Which is why I created the character Hyun-ju as a male to female transgender woman.”

  • Here We Go Again: Internet Age Verification and Website Blocking Bill Reintroduced in the Senate (With Some Changes)

  • Once captured by the law – sites that deliberately transmit pornographic materials to minors and do not use government-approved age verification or age estimation technologies – the enforcement side kicks in. The enforcement of the bill is left to the designated regulatory agency, which can issue notifications of violations to websites and services. Those notices can include the steps the agency wants followed to bring the site into compliance. This literally means the government via its regulatory agency will dictate to sites how they must interact with users to ensure no underage access. If the site fails to act as instructed within 20 days, the regulator can apply for a court order mandating that Canadian ISPs block the site from their subscribers. The regulator would be required to identify which ISPs are subject to the blocking order.

    Bill S-209 is better than its predecessor as it seeks to exclude search and other incidental distribution, adopts a new standalone definition for pornographic materials, and sets a higher bar for the technology itself. Yet many concerns remain: the bill still envisions court ordered website blocking, including blocking access to lawful content by those entitled to access it. In fact, the bill expressly states that the effect of the blocking may “have the effect of preventing persons in Canada from being able to access material other than pornographic material made available by the organization.” Orders that knowingly block lawful content is certain to raise Charter of Rights challenges.
