The Independent review of gender identity services for children and young people by Dr Hilary Cass has been released. I think this deserves a thread of its own here on Craicnet - 229 Irish children were referred to the Tavistock Clinic in London, where whistleblowers raised concerns about the use of puberty blockers and hormones, without proper controls or research on longterm effects.
Here is something I posted earlier on the FWR board; I was impressed by the RTE report, much more thorough and thoughtful than a lot of other ones.
Sky News 1 o'clock - Cass report 'welcomed' by.. Mermaids and Stonewall!
Interpreted criticism of care for 'trans' children as that there wasn't enough of it/wasn't prompt enough/wasn't respectful enough, not that it was poorly researched and based on flimsy evidence.
RTE TV[Irish state broadcaster] New 1 o'clock - their London correspondent John Kilraine focused on the report's criticism of the use of puberty blockers and hormones for young people, the lack of evidence re long-term effects, and the failure to consider other issues such as autism, mental health issues etc.
I'll see if I can get a link to that segment later.
Did they read the same report?😠

And they'd probably get it , knowing our useless politicians.

A woman I used to work with is involved with TENI. She used to try to do fundraisers, that kind of thing. I don't know why, I didn't trust myself to broach the subject. She is a really nice woman though, and smart, so I'm quite curious.

Ugh. They are quite delusional @UtopiaPlanitia . Haven't sniffed the wind at all. Real true believers , or just a case of ' sunk cost fallacy ' ?
