The Cass Review is a political tool used to deny access to trans healthcare. It was commissioned by the English Department for Health and Social Care, and de-facto bans on trans healthcare quickly followed its publication. It's also been used to deny access to trans healthcare outside the UK.
Given that it's a political tool the actual content of the review doesn't matter to anti-trans activists - because politicians lie. And we've seen that with the Cass Review. Cass does not say "we should stop children having access to puberty blockers" -- she's said in interviews since publication that she thinks there's too much delay in providing access to puberty blockers for gender incongruent children, and that if we're going to be using the meds we need to provide access to them earlier for the small number of children who need them. You'd never know this from reading what politicians and anti-trans activists have said about the Cass Review.
Given that the report is mostly garbage, and it doesn't matter what the report says (because anti-trans activists lie about everything all the time anyway), why am I posting this link?
A tiny part of me think truth and accuracy matter. I can't persuade the anti-trans activists -- they're too far gone -- but maybe accurate information can help the bulk of the population realise that anti-trans activists lie all the time about everything, and all trans people want to do is live their life.
