Myth 1: 98% of all studies in this area were ignored.

Myth 2: Cass recommended no Trans Healthcare for Under 25s.

Myth 3: Cass is demanding only Double Blind Randomised Controlled Trials be used as evidence in “Trans Healthcare”.

Myth 4: There were less than 10 detransitioners out of 3499 patients in the Cass study.

Read this. Read the responses. Tell me these activists have stopped to think for a second

Show quote history

That reddit thread is a terrifying echo chamber

Australia’s response to the Cass Review - has been fingers in ears and shouting la la la la…

Apparently, as it is a UK review, it is not relevant in Australia. So our gender clinics will keep following the “best practice” guidelines as endorsed by most enlightened countries who aren’t transphobic bigots.

Yesterday I thought "if only someone would do a list of the most common misrepresentations of the Cass Review report being spread by trans activists". This is fantastic.

They're whipping themselves up into ever more batshit claims in the many threads about it on that subreddit.

Someone on the one you linked suggests a sense of perspective about calling the Cass review a "genocide" when bombs are being dropped in the Middle East and is downvoted into oblivion. Then the people who seem to have not heard of Godwin and his law really get going on the 1930s Germany comparisons.

Thanks for this OP.

The figures that different countries are collating are so damning and yet some people are still sticking their fingers in their ears.

"Figures from the Netherlands and the United Kingdom show that more than 95 per cent of individuals who initiated puberty inhibition continue with gender-affirming treatments,” the report by P Vankrunkelsven P, K Casteels K and J De Vleminck said.

“However, when young people with gender dysphoria go through their natural puberty, these feelings will only persist in about 15 per cent.”

Thanks for this. You'd think these activists at some point would stop and consider whether they are in fact correct when they have to lie so much to defend their position. I guess once you've convinced yourself of the huge lie that some men are women you can lie about pretty much anything.

Interesting that lots of European countries are taking the Cass Review very seriously. This Telegraph article has an interesting round up of the latest changes in approaches to gender: https://www.msn.com/en-gb/health/other/belgium-and-netherlands-call-for-puberty-blocker-restrictions-following-cass-review/ar-BB1lyUDn?ocid=socialshare&pc=DCTS&cvid=b4146bb95caa4ef7a04ead2350acee15&ei=27

What a great overview. I’m so glad some are taking the Cass review seriously.

Yes it's a great blog, posted it on a few other threads this morning.
