Damning expose of why adult Gender Clinics failed to share data with Cass

Yet another carefully evidenced expose from Transgender Trend highlighting some of the damning evidence from the the one data set that was shared with Cass. The extreme level of diagnostic over shadowing that allowed serious co-morbidities to be ignored is scandalous.

If this is the data from just one clinic, what horrors will be exposed when the others are compelled to share data. The influence of trans activist groups is also evidenced.

Thank you Shelley Charlesworth and Transgender Trend for this:

Why did adult gender clinics withhold data from the Cass Review?

Six out of seven adult gender clinics withheld data from the Cass Review team. Some are activists and WPATH members within these clinics.

A good starting point would be getting rid of all the activist groups such as Gendered Intelligence working within the NHS.

I have been trying to follow links within NHS pages to see where patients are sent for support. NHS Livewell (https://www.nhs.uk/live-well/trans-teenager/) links to Transwiki - although the link and/or transwiki seems to be broken?

Arden and GEMS (https://www.ardengemcsu.nhs.uk/services/clinical-support/national-referral-support-service-for-the-nhs-gender-incongruence-service-for-children-and-young-people/) recommend the above, plus

YoungMinds (who send you through to Stonewall https://www.youngminds.org.uk/young-person/coping-with-life/gender-and-mental-health/),
Papyrus (who say that their advisors have been trained by Gendered Intelligence https://www.papyrus-uk.org/trans-day-of-visibility/),
Samartians and Childline (need I say more?!) and
The Mix (which has a lot of stuff on trans such as https://www.themix.org.uk/sex-and-relationships/gender-and-sexuality/young-and-trans-5178.html but I haven't had time to dig through it. I do note that they in turn send people towards the the Beaumont Society (which points you towards Mermaids and the new Mind Trans+ helpline, staffed by trans people and trans allies https://www.mindinsomerset.org.uk/our-services/adult-one-to-one-support/mindline-trans/).
Finally SHOUT and RCPsych, neither of which has gender/trans specific contect.

Until the NHS starts pointing people in the direction of Bayswater, TransgenderTrend, Genspect - or if the NHS/RCPsych could develop some useful Cass-informed information and support, it is difficult to escape this web of ideologically-informed support networks.

I didn't think I could be any angrier about the shoddy state of the evidence-based for these radical interventions.

I was wrong.

Those poor patients. This is a tragedy on a truly remarkable scale and I'm horrified for the people at the heart of it.

Thank you @MrsOvertonsWindow
That table from Porterbrook is really distressing
