Katy Montgomery on twitter having meltdown, claiming the Cass report to be corrupt....

I can only imagine how horrifying it must be to read in black and white the details of the sham of care that this person has undergone, he spewing the vitriol in every direction.

What is WRONG with people? How can so many professionals have taken such leave of their senses and education? I don’t get it at all! There is no evidence base for it, how can they defend it so staunchly?

@mrshoho your post made me feel emotional, massive well done to you and your daughter, I hope she continues to grow and feel better with your support.

I too have learnt so much from reading the caring, measured, clever and witty posts on this board. The women of mumsnet are magnificent.

Thank heavens it is so clear but yes, there are too many zealots still in the system

I thought I wasn’t able to be shocked further to be honest, but reading that they stopped recording sex is utterly mind blowing. My god!

The Cass Review came a result from whistleblowers challenging power from institutions and from grassroots activism from women.

They can fuck off with this argument. Once again - reality.

Aye, you keep telling yourself that pal.

We're encouraged to think of the medical profession as dispassionate, or even heroic, but history is littered with examples of doctors doing terrible things for ideological reasons. Think of the family doctors and hospital staff all over the Third Reich who happily filled in the paperwork that would send their patients, mostly children, to the gas chamber. They believed they were doing a societal good. The medical profession can attract people who believe they are saving the world but exactly what they think that entails can be very scary.

The Scottish Government seem determined to ignore all this evidence and continue on with this medical scandal. I genuinely think this will be part of the downfall of most political institutions in Scotland.

Re the bullshit attempt at 'both side' my post...

No comment needed.

Thanks to every other MNetter.

Disagree.

When's the election?

Next Scottish Parliament elections are May 2026.

Why do you disagree?

Cos they are going to get a shock at the general and things are going to be legally increasingly dubious for them going forward.

Just wanted to put Transgender Trend's detailed and informed response on here. Stephanie Davies-Arai has been a relentless critic of what's been done to children in the name of transactivism. TT commissions numerous professionals to share research and offers a platfform for parents and young people to speak . Well worth a read:

I hope so.

I’m a teacher and it is my school’s policy to call students by their chosen name and pronouns, with or without parental consent.

I’ve anonymously reported it to the DfE and Ofsted. We had an inspection in the last year and was graded Outstanding. I doubt (sadly) anything will change.

I'm by turns furious & sad. The damage some people have done, and the likes of OJ still retweeting the more loopy of the TRA responses.

From a personal perspective delighted to see the recommendations for care for 17-25 year olds.

8.48 More specifically, gender-questioning young people and their parents have spoken to the Review about online information that describes normal adolescent discomfort as a possible sign of being trans and that particular influencers have had a substantial impact on their child’s beliefs and understanding of their gender.

isn't this something that Helen Joyce is looking into?

Looks like every avenue TRAs use to get to kids will be in the firing line.

Have had a word vomit on another thread, so won’t repeat here - but am feeling quite emotional today now that the report is finally here. It’s a bit bloody late for my teen and peers, but hopefully will contribute to a sea change in the approach to supporting children and young people with (RO)GD, a sea change that I hope will have global as well as national implications.

Hope the judge in Tickle v Giggle takes time out of their day to read this and give his head a little wobble too.

I am ploughing through the report.

It is actually fascinating, even if, like me, you have been reading voraciously on the issue since being peaked. The breadth of evidence considered is astonishing and it is summarised in extremely accessible language. Recommend !!

Point 73

"rigid binary stereotypes are unhelpful"

In relation to parental attitudes

Is this a dig as Susie Green?

Tbh I have thought there have been a few criticisms of Mermaids roll in the report ithout singling Mermaids out. Mermaids as it was, WAS Susie Green.

It's avoiding placing blame. That's for the Public Enquiry

Can anyone expand on this? Anyone in medical profession perhaps? It’s a very good question and I really want to know the answer

The medical profession (and other public services - policing, teaching, social care etc) seem to be full of people who don’t question guidelines and are therefore very susceptible to ideology.
I don’t mean this as a criticism - if public services were full of individual thinkers the whole thing would be anarchy. On the flip side though we’ve had a decade or so of gender ideology taking a real hold because many of those in positions of authority cannot see beyond what they’re told.

Today I have an awful itch to contact a former friend (a doctor and a lesbian) who discovered in GI the perfect combination of SJW virtue-signalling possibilities, career advancement and the public attention that she craved. She went from being a bored GP who resented dealing with older people and their creaky and unsightly bodies to a TQ+ heroine, surrounded by TWs gazing adoringly at her. I'm tempted to send her a copy of the Cass report and ask her if she still thinks I'm a hateful bigot.

She isn't the only one. I hope the Cass review will have given pause for thought to the head of my local paediatric service. She's a lesbian in thrall to GI who has argued with me over the years that sex is a spectrum. As one of the most gender-non-conforming women I know, I wouldn't be surprised to learn that she has her own struggles on this issue.

I also knew two lesbian GPs who embraced GI very early on and have behaved maliciously towards colleagues and friends who are gender realists. Three of these four refer to themselves as being ND. One talks about her autism.

These days I'm very careful around medics.

Yes to all this now ^

I think the draft school guidance was written knowing the content of Cass.
The referenec to no social tranistion at primary etc.

It now needs to be finalised and made statutory. Schools and unions need to be forced into line.

If Labour are supportting Cass are they going to support tthe school guidance?
