Asking if anyone is going to argue against it

They've discussed the fact that whistleblowers were bullied 👏

Hugh Pym reporting, the health correspondent.

Round up of all the paper headlines on this story.

Thank you Warrior.

It's significant that it's Hugh Pym as he's the health correspondent.

Thai was a question by Justin Webb

27 mins to 8.

Main piece

"For most people a medical pathway will not be the best way to manage gender related distress"

Notes that pbs are still being prescribed in Scotland and private clinics.

Cass interview starts by focusing on the huge increase in girls

With additional problems - which has been bypassed due to toxicity.

Clinics have been passed onto GIDs asap.

(This is what prof Michele Moore was talking about years ago.)

Clinicians worried that if they did the usual assessments they'd be accused for not immediately affirming gender.

Cass clarifying exactly what pbs are really for.

Highlights the rapid period of brain development in teens and we don't know the impacts that pbs have there

Oh the subject is finally worthy of a health correspondent and NOT an ideology/ identitarian correspondent?

The BBC might wish to reflect on this and the concept of bias.

Thank you, am listening.

Gids started a trial but deviated - Cass says she thinks they felt they were coming their best, but when initial results were released it showed the opposite

It's very unusual to prescribe life changing drugs without evidence base.

So need to know how pathways develop into adult good, including psych therapies

Good long q from Justin about pressure on clinicians

Cass feels everyone was trying their best

Lack of reflection due to being the only centre

Now interview with TW who wasn't seen by nhs due to waiting lists

they've done better than bbc breakfast then. the headline was about the toxic debate (without actually mentioning that the report says clinicians are to afraid tp speak out), the main piece about a trans identified male and a tiny bit on Kiera Bell.

"I went through full course of male puberty."

Private clinic concerns

I can’t find the newspaper headlines round up on BBC online (not the Today problem, the one where they take pictures of the front pages). I can only find yesterday’s. Is todays up yet?

What is going to happen to all the children who are on waiting lists and no chance for pbs?

Cass - sorry to hear about that story

There's a lack of work force.
