How are you feeling today if you work in healthcare or a captured organisation?

@MrsOvertonsWindow We have had an Ofsted inspection in the last academic year and awarded Outstanding. Pastoral and safeguarding was one area particularly praised, I really want our policy to change but I’m not hopeful.

Sorry - my last edit lost the link

Hopefully the fact that Cass has stated that socially transitioning children without clinical guidance is harmful - so hopefully whoever has written your pastoral policy will be asked to do an immediate rewrite.
Teaching children that they can change sex is harmful.
Schools promoting gender ideology to children are being professionally dangerous. They have no clinical expertise in sex change for children and are engaging in a social experiment that is not supported by evidence.
Assuming you're a secondary teacher, here's details of the psychological harm this causes: that perhaps can now be shared safely?

Academic. This pretty much sums up how I feel.

Current leader of the profession [my discipline] is a big cheese in the gender treatment field. I'm expecting an editorial in the professional journal [a public communication] basically saying 'Cass tells us there's not enough evidence, so lots more research grants for me would be ideal' and aiming to shore up the 'bodily autonomy' message and bang the Pride drum. Because we should all be so proud that we as adults created this cultural world for children?

I’m a teacher. I am assuming I’ll still be calling pupils by their chosen name and preferred pronouns (with or without parental consent) as to do anything otherwise will be detrimental to student mental health (in accordance with pastoral policy).

I have many friends and relatives who are teachers and treading on eggshells, I hope this helps them.

I expect my higher education organisation to be captured for some time to come. But the Cass report does give some credence to holding the line on certain things.

As Churchill once noted: “Now this is not the end. It is not even the beginning of the end. But it is, perhaps, the end of the beginning.”

I work in Ed psychology.
Just a couple of weeks ago our union (association of Ed psychs) sent a dreadful "be kind and affirming" response to the gender identity government guidance to schools, which was immensely disappointing. Tbh seeing how many Ed psychs seem unable to consider data and holistic presentations of youngsters has been disappointing and depressing. The training courses are teaching ideology (one is run by a trans person and at least one other has a speaker). Actually on the ground in my service many Ed psychs get it, especially those working as neurodiversity specialists.

i am hoping that the cool headed engagement of Cass, which she has done brilliantly, will see the tide turn.

Almost shocked tbh. I didn't expect to be here.

I work in adult services not paediatric. Given my experience of absolutely zero political engagement of any type in my profession (sample comment 'Oh is there an election today?' when I mention I've been out to vote - and this is an all-graduate team) I'm expecting zero discussion of any type. If there were any, it would be denial of the Cass report having any relevance at all to adult services or to our practice, despite the fact that we will see older trans adolescents and that current young trans adults have been treated like this.

Feeling elated.

But am in a very supportive HCP environment. Hoping it empowers colleagues in other departments in their conversations, choice of language and ability to turn things back towards the sensible.

Not an hcp but hope that the report gives you all the confidence to at least ask questions:
"in the light of Cass, is is a good idea to have a Pride flag / Global Butterflies training / Stonewall propaganda all over our children's wards, children's outpatients? "
