They're not even suggesting a ban of hormone prescriptions, they're saying there needs to be a strengthening of clinical governance around hormone prescribing. Can these fuckers take ANY criticism at all?

Because a higher standard will reduce the number the cases and the more standardized clinical approach will kill some loopholes. They wanted that the apparatus had a looser approach rather than being scrutinized and getting standards, because they hate TransMedicalists always warning them that this was going to happen.

That's really what it comes down to.  It's not about proper protocols and standards for healthcare.  It's about the strength of a movement.  About affirming an identity through medicine.  This is just insane.

It's not just politically difficult, given the current climate, for a politician to dismiss this report. It is also something that most politicians have no standing to do. Few politicians are scientifically literate, and fewer still are scientists or medics with the kind of reputation that would enable them to criticise this review without getting eaten alive.

None of this is to excuse Labour's increasingly pathetic handling of trans politics under Starmer and Streeting. But I do think it's exceptionally difficult for anyone to challenge this report in the short term, which explains why other groups, e.g. Mermaids/Stonewall have welcomed the report to varying extents. Even in an ideal world the best you could hope for is that, following a general election, a new government commissions a new review. There's no quick fix, I don't think.

It almost sounds like TransKids need for blockers is justified by flimsy reasons and a new government would need to manipulate the results to not get the same conclusions. Thinking

We don't believe the review. The only solution of for a new government to commission a new review with a preconceived conclusion that agrees with our pseudo-religious position!!

But skim even a millimetre below the surface and its ridiculous how bias this whole thing is

Of course, the dull witted moronic hoi polloi might just read the words that are actually there and conclude how very reasonable and level headed it is, but only a true super genius galaxy brain can read the report that wasn't written and conclude what a pile of horseshit it is in my head

Gurl that's not evidence of love and care, that's "what do we have access to that we can give out for free publicity that wouldn't get us much profit if we actually sold it"

Meanwhile the actual article is about how these clinics refused to share any of their data with the Cass report and how there's an increased spike of people detransitioning 

Quote:It was being launched also because there was “an increasing incidence of individuals seeking to ‘detransition’ following previous gender affirming interventions and the absence of a consistent, defined clinical approach for them”, said John Stewart and Prof James Palmer, NHS England’s national director and medical director respectively of specialised commissioning.
Quote:NHS England also intends to force adult gender dysphoria clinics to hand over data which they refused to share with University of York researchers whom Cass had asked to obtain to help draw up best practice guidelines for how the NHS should help such vulnerable young people.

It will outline the health outcomes seen among the 9,000 people who as under-18s were cared for by the gender identity development service at the Tavistock and Portman NHS mental health trust.

Six of the seven trusts did not cooperate, prompting Cass to complain in her report that a potentially world-leading research project had been “thwarted” by NHS secrecy.

They're just completely trapped in a bubble where they think it's absolutely impossible that the standards might be shit
