Dr Hilary Cass is an award-winning British physician who previously served as Dean of the Royal College of Paediatrics and Child Health. England’s National Health Service, highly regarded in its field, politically clean, and a recipient of the Order of the British Empire, clearly makes Mr Cass the ideal candidate to lead an independent inquiry into the UK’s gender reassignment system and youth services. I thought that he was a person.
Mr Kass obliged them and began the review process in 2020. Her landmark report, the culmination of nearly four years of intensive research and analysis, was released earlier this month, shifting public opinion and effectively nailing the narrative of LGBT activists. About so-called gender-affirming care.

388 page report Not only is the gender reassignment system built on weak and unreliable science, but if unchecked, it has the potential to continue to cause irreparable harm to minors, many of whom have no gender in the first place. indicated that it was likely that they would not be able to properly consent to the conversion. Medical intervention.
Because he dared to present the facts as they were, contrary to what some people expected, Kass became a popular target for threats and vilification by desperate gender ideologues and other radical leftists.
A 66-year-old pediatrician recently
Said The Times (UK) said the recent wave of backlash “started the day before the report was published, when influencers posted a photo of a list of papers that appeared to have been rejected on the grounds that they were not randomized controlled trials.” It was reported that.
Labor MP Dawn Butler was among the fact-avoidance campaigners who took note of the fact that the Kass report did not take into account research that affirmed various transgender narratives. “There are about 100 studies that are not included in this Kass report, and we need to know why,” Butler told his House colleagues.
Mr Kass called Mr Butler’s claims “completely wrong” and said it was “unforgivable” to undermine the report with such blatant falsehoods. The pediatrician told the Times that, contrary to Butler’s suggestion, the researchers looked at all the studies favored by activists, but drew results from only 60 because the remaining studies were of poor quality.
Butler ultimately had to eat crowapologized to the British Parliament and said he had made the mistake of quoting the Stonewall press conference.
Mr Stonewall, who is part of Britain’s most influential LGBT activist group and has a knack for spreading false claims, responded to NHS England’s decision last month.
Stop prescribing puberty blockers for children with suggestion Luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone agonists have been used for a long time. Chemically castrate sex offenders and Are known The loss of bone density was “reversible.”
Stonewall also parroting Claim that “Even children as young as 2 years old are aware of their transgender identity.”
“If you’re deliberately trying to undermine a report that examines the evidence about a child’s medical care, that’s unacceptable. By doing that, you’re putting children at risk.” he added.
Cass also appears to have been inundated with abusive emails, and security services reportedly had to intervene for advice.
“I’m getting some really mean emails at the moment, most of which I can’t see because my team is protecting me,” she told the Times. This included “words I don’t want published in newspapers.”
“What’s disappointing to me is how childish this discussion can be,” the pediatrician continued. “If you don’t agree with someone, you’ll be called a transphobe or a turf. [trans-exclusionary radical feminist]. ”
Apparently, the security services Cass is dealing with are concerned that some extremists may be trying to do more than threaten doctors online.
She told the Times: “Following safety recommendations, I will not be taking public transport at this time. It will be inconvenient.”
Mr. Kass pointed out in his report that he drew the ire of radicals.
- “Systematic reviews show no clear evidence that social transitions in childhood have positive or negative mental health outcomes, and the evidence for any effects in adolescence is relatively weak.”
- Puberty blockers “have their intended effect of suppressing puberty,” but they impair bone density and have no appreciable effect on “gender dysphoria or body satisfaction.”
- Consistent evidence about the effects of puberty suppression on psychological or psychosocial health, cognitive development, cardiometabolic risk or fertility is lacking.
- There is a lack of high-quality studies evaluating the outcomes of hormonal interventions for adolescents who are confused about their gender.
- There is no evidence to support the claim, common among gender ideologues, that cross-sex hormones reduce the increased risk of death for people who suffer from gender dysphoria.
- Clinicians cannot reliably determine which child victims are likely to simply snap out of the mess.
- “For most young people, the best way to deal with gender-related distress is not in a medical setting.”and
- The so-called science on “gender-affirming care” is an “area of significantly weaker evidence” built on “shaky foundations.”
While Stonewall and the left find the facts difficult to digest, others are willing to admit fault.
A group of 16 senior clinical psychologists written The letter, published in the Guardian newspaper on April 21, said: “Whether intentionally or not, and despite the best efforts of many in impossible circumstances, dissent It was clinical psychologists who promoted an ideology that made it almost impossible to do so, as the Kass report made clear. Few adequate assessments of troubled young people are carried out, and as a result, many young people are left with ‘irreversible medical treatment’, which in most cases is inadequate and neglects the most basic duty of keeping proper records. It was placed on the road of ”
They concluded that they were “ashamed of the role that psychology has played.” [in gender-affirming care]. ”
