AFTER CASS: The State of Gender Reform in the US, the UK, Australia and Beyond

Destroying a lot of young kids bodies and lives

Top class discussion and panel. It's very interesting how the political landscape has had such an impact on evidence based medicine or rather unevidenced medical scandals. "They removed a chapter on ethics and included a chapter on eunuchs" is still an astonishing turn of events, particularly the "source" of that chapter.

The adult gender clinics refused to hand over their details to Dr Cass because they were afraid this would enable longitudinal study of treatments initiated in their teens. This was a requirement for them to provide by law, but they repeatedly stalled and Dr Cass's team gave up trying. They have since divulged the information - it is not been made publically available by Dr Cass's staff though.

So many of these children don’t fit in or are distressed because they are ASD, Pre Lesbian or Gay or traumatised and it’s so true, many of them just need somewhere to belong.

In the US, Obama care required insurance company’s to cover transgender care and surgeries. That led to a pathway for surgeons to make a whole lot of money. When money is involved it’s hard to get rid of.

Thank you so much for having this excellent conversation with such expert and well-informed panelists. Thank you from 🇨🇦 for all for your work! ❤

I'm going to take a guess and say that WPATH didn't take an honest and scientific look at any of the Cass findings but instead went into complete and automatic refute and rebut mode.

There was recently an activist-led initiative to remove the entire board of trustees of the UK’s foremost psychotherapy organisation. The intention was to force the organisation to adopt a ban on ‘conversion therapy’ that included banning therapists from anything other than ‘affirmative’ approaches to gender dysphoria. Very fortunately, the members voted to keep the board in place. The UKCP had only recently had to settle a legal challenge from a therapist who had been removed from a training course for his ‘gender critical’ views. Gender critical beliefs (that sex is binary) 1:29:32 are protected by law in the UK.

The discussion on the new Yale critique of the Cass Review was very enlightening. I'm sure it just scratched the surface. Would love to get a full analysis of the Yale report.

Jamie Reed is so sharp.

That Yale Report did not offer any reason why the Cass Review 's recommendations should not be best practice in the US.

I think the US profiting and commercialisation of health care is running rampant. Not that the rest of the world is immune either! But with every child walking about worth potentially many hundreds of thousands or more if they are ‘transitioned’, litigation is probably the only way to deter this.

Aren’t WPATH members past/present active in English gender clinics and gender activism?

I'm curious to hear the response to the Yale response to the Cass Report. In particular, it seems like the lead, Meredithe McNamara, is completely compromised. The entire teams's history reads like they are not credibly objective.

Australia's health care is aupposed to be funded on a state by state basis. This has simplified the task of pushing through compulsory pro medicalisation of gender confused children, state by state.
