Paul Brennan talks to Jan Rivers of Genspect NZ and Public Good, about a landmark Australian court case involving a mother’s attempt to place her child on puberty blockers without the father's consent.

They also explore New Zealand’s recently released draft Relationship and Sexuality Education (RSE) guidelines and the political and cultural challenges surrounding gender identity in schools.
