Last week, the media reported a disturbing case of a UK doctor who had an obsession with chopping off his own limbs - what is referred to as xenomelia or apotemnophilia. But this adverse mental health condition is similar to anorexia and gender dysphoria. The treatment should not involve the amputation of healthy limbs. It should involve the healing of the mind. But someone needs to tell the Ministry of Health, politicians and media that basic truth. Xenomelia, Anorexia, Trans – Similar Issue, same solution.

In this episode of Daybreak - Labour licks its wounds after trouncing in byelection; the NZ Herald panics about a US group that wants to promote marriage and babies; should we have a safe haven law for newborns to prevent the horrific dumping of newborn babies; RFK Jr wants to find out the truth about the harms of the abortion pill; born-alive abortions are more common that many realise in Canada and even here in NZ; churches are failing to mention the word 'sin'; more twaddle from the Law Commission's paper on gender ideology; a famous author admits that he was cowtowed into supporting trans ideology; Parliament became slightly safer for children after the resignation of a radical Green MP - we reveal why; and we hear Winston's war on woke in his speech yesterday at NZ First's conference.

A left-wing think tank in the US identifies words that the left invented – but now want to ban themselves from saying. It’s quite the list.
