I’ve tried to sign, but the submit button doesn’t seem to recognize that I’ve pressed it.

Never mind— I see it doesn’t work on a phone.

I cannot sign the document—I tried several times.

New Zealand has a higher percentage of children who have been put on puberty blockers than in the UK, but does not seem to be accommodated in this letter. The Ministry of Health has just released a new Women's Health Strategy that includes men. https://www.health.govt.nz/system/files/documents/publications/womens_health_strategy_-_easy_read_-final_-_8-3-24.pdf?fbclid=IwAR0U809JsT_CIQJFj7ANupTAcozAFuxNqrlbdCLsOz08O0yEF1P5a65ed9o_aem_AUubnwdu1Kfuwl2Vggue_wg9uhMxNEsX_j38S3Q2wlAaQwcPW7aSAhIhMShOY1pVpUvXXy_-qkoWizPAkEs3Ki1R

This looks great. However couldn't this have been written as a concerned citizen? Not just from parents. It could be other family members, friends, concerned people in general. While Parents specifically have a greater role. It seems limiting to something that is so important.

I dislike this as much as I would if the trans community sent letters to world health organizations advocating for transgender medicine for children. I detest globalism and that includes decisions about mental and health care.

You need to use a computer. We are not sure why it won’t work on a phone.

Thank you for adding more voices to this fight.

I would really like to know more about the group Good Wardens and how these signatures and letters will be used.

Maybe other people have the same questions. There's no "who we are" section on the website with the letter. Just the letter and then "sign" for the appropriate country.

But what is this organization? Who funds Good Wardens? What other affiliations does Good Wardens have?

In general I like the letter, but the politics on this topic are very hot and I don't want to sign something without knowing more.

Look under lead signatures. It lists all the parent groups including Pitt that started this.

well, I don't see the "lead signatures" on the public website, but on the bottom at the left is a small icon, "About" and that opens to a page with a list of various groups.

Such a shame it won’t submit on a ‘phone (for many of us anyway) as not everyone has the option to do it on a laptop. This will reduce the number of votes.

Did you try a different browser? Or maybe switching to "Desktop View"?

I had no issues using Samsung Internet Browser on my phone.

Yes, I’ve tried several ways but it just won’t work on my iPhone. I’ll try to access via a laptop when I’m at work today.

Try a computer. The phone is having trouble.

Was unable to sign on my iPhone. If this is a technical issue, you may be missing out on a lot of signatures.

Went to letter & tried to sign but didn’t go through. Didn’t see an option on the new website to contact anyone
