To think the BMA should hang its head in shame after first decrying the Cass review and now, embarrassingly completely reverse ferreting on the entire thing. What happened to Do No Harm?

Title says it all, but activists who don't believe in evidence based medicine, but do believe in the medical mistreatment of children, had tried to force the BMA into taking an idealogical position in the treatment of gender questioning children.

This stance has badly damaged the standing and trust of medicine in this country for gender questioning children, who need proper, evidenced, holistic help.

I really feel for the children, and parents, caught up in this sorry mess. Shame on these virtue signalling activists for setting children back so far.

Yes it's a bloody farce driven by activists with a very ideological based agenda.

The BMA has made itself look stupid, which is not a good look for a union.
However, in this it has merely joined a number of other unions who have similarly taken leave of their senses (e.g. UCU).

👏

The BMA has been infiltrated, this has been a huge wake up call and the grown ups have effected change.

Are they definitely back in charge? This gender madness seems to be poisoning everywhere :(

I think the activists pushing this from within need to be fired.

@BjornTheFellHanded possibly not atm but they have mobilised to vote not to reject Cass.
