News commentary on the Cass Report

[HagoftheNorth]

Thread to record where and when to find tv/radio commentary on the Cass report, so that it is easy for people to find it on catchup. If you’re listening/watching and it comes up, please record the channel/show and the time

Oh dear.

Anacdata verses professional report.

Gosh it’s almost as if they’re in complete denial about their own complicity in ignoring all the alarm bells clanging!

I'm out of date and got this wrong. It seems that, of late, the bbcpm account has been tweeting out interviews like this.

Yes, it's baffling why they are largely ignoring the demographic specifically mentioned in the report as being particularly at risk.

"Trans people wake up every day and don't feel safe online because of this debate."

And that seems to be the end of the segment. A transwoman "journalist" from Pink News. No one else to comment.

'Amelia' may be taking hormones but it's not HRT.

Allowing the vital question about co morbidities in children to be hand waved away by talking about an individual adult's experiences and pushing the line that delaying harms children.

Appalling coverage completely ignoring the issues about children and the extent of evidence and research in the Cass report in favour of allowing a self interested transactivist to talk - endlessly. Which is why we're in this mess because these the BBC have continually enabled self interested transactivists to drown out the need to safeguard children and provide safe evidenced healthcare.

How do I find this please?

James O'Brien on LBC had FREDA WALLACE on! (I didn't listen)
Shelagh Fogarty did very good job from 1pm onwards, including interview with Sonia Sodha.
Tom Swarbrick from 4pm. He's always been terf-adjacent and was outraged by Cass revelations. trans caller banging on about Cass's poor methodology. Not caller's area of expertise but he was quoting someone from Oxford Brookes - Swarbrick must have looked him up because he pointed out very qickly that 'expert' had no medical qualifications.

However, you can't rewind live broadcasts so you'll have to wait till it's finished and listen then.

BBC R4 PM - Tavistock whistleblower coming up next

Oh, that's good, I thought they were done with their coverage with the Pink New transwoman. Much better.

Dr David Bell.

Dr David Bell a significantly more authoritative voice and intelligent commentator than 'Amelia'.

Dr David Bell saying there must be resources and coordination with CAMHS services.

Absolutely

Isn't it odd that they have this big story, they break their coverage in two, and separate the two parts with the story about friendly foxes and some news headlines?

David Bell saying children with complex issues funnelled into talking to gender specialists and that wasn't helpful. Adam immediately tries to shut that down and say well, it was talking wasn't it and that's got to be good. Bell won't have it and makes his point even more forcefully and at greater length.

Yes. He gave David Bell a smiliar amount of time and let him speak which is balanced. But the separation of the 2 interviews rather distorted the contrast between the transactivist approach - personal anecdotes and adultifying issues so that it seems as if we're talking about adults. In stark contrast to a professional analysis that centres children, ethical healthcare and problems with resources.

I got interrupted when listening but Fleming seemed to be trying to use the availability of private clinics, and the report turning distressed families towards them as a kind of gotcha (look what you made them do.) As if the BBC haven't been acting as a free advertising service for one of those clinics in all its major news programmes and bulletins all day

Now this is really weird. For some reason there's now a, completely unrelated, segment on about young people's brain development and the ages at which young people are mature enough to do things, like driving and consenting to puberty blockers, with one contributor talking about preventing young people from recognising themselves as "queer".

Not telly but YouTube - the BMJ channel interview with Dr Cass

I heard PM too and thought FFS about the Pink News person. The 6pm news now on R4 is a bit better I think - talking to the mum of the 13 year old girl. I wish the news would feature on the young girls more - all the trans people I've heard interviewed today have been male.

I want to know what is going to change for teenage girls - I have a vulnerable 11 year old girl is who probably autistic and who is questioning her sexuality and gender. She did get one CAMHS appointment (where the probable autism was identified), but isnt' deemed sufficiently urgent to have more appointments. It's just terrifying.

I wonder if BBC NEWS and C4 will cover it tonight? Will watch both to check...

Wow top story on BBC news at 6!
