Don’t think of it as a kick in the teeth. It should be a huge relief that Labour are supporting the review whole heartedly and not undermining it, ignoring it or otherwise indicating that they will be swayed into returning to the old model of gender care. They will likely be in power soon and it would be a tragedy for children if Labour played politics with it instead of being grown ups, acknowledging the expertise and doing right by those children.

I agree. This shouldn’t be about ‘winning’ but should be about what is best for people’s mental and physical health.

As an extra kick in the teeth, Labour support full implementation of the review, and are calling on the Tories to do the same, despite Labour being right in the middle of this desperate mess, pushing it more than any other.

I posted this on the other thread but I’ll repeat it here. The most depressing thing about the initial reports on the Report is that they’re all things we’ve been discussing here for years:

Poor evidence
High rates of autism needing looking for
Poor mental health co-morbidities
Detransitioner regret

And so on, and so on. It’s 388 pages, but that’s a condensed version of multitudes of threads saying all this for years.

The earlier thread about the Cass report which has all the front pages in the media tomorrow and 200 posts of discussion. The launch has been tracked there for several days.

Interesting that the terms 'birth registered females' and 'birth registered males' are used mostly throughout the report instead of assigned male/female at birth. This is much clearer language.

Thanks!

I've not read the report yet, but here is a detailed summary and breakdown as a primer

It is equal parts horrifying, saddening and a validation of all of Mumsnet FWR's thoughts and fears on the matter.

Those poor kids.
