Incredible umming and ahhing on James o'Brien's LBC radio show this morning about Cass Review. After being part of the witch hunt now of course he's doing a Mr Rational word salad devoid of self reflection.

"How to be right" my arse.

Turning this insufferable crap off now but would be quite funny were it not so serious.

BigPepperPerson · 10/04/2024 10:23

ugh! that man
Can't bear to listen to him and don't blame you for turning him off
God I hope this is the beginning of the end of all this gender shite

Ring in, right now

I like James O Brian generally but like a few others, he got the gender issue totally wrong and jumped on the wrong ship . I hope he reads the report thoroughly and reconsiders his past views . Ditto the Last Leg ( Alex and Adam not Josh ) and The Good Law Project who I wrote to this morning on the back of the Cass publication .

personally I will welcome them back like the prodigal son if they reflect and reconsider .

Posters on this forum have been predicting the reactions of the oh-so-sensible men types for years...

'Ok so women may have been saying this stuff for years, paying attention to the evidence and bringing it to our attention... but they did it in a way I didn't really like, so there was no way I could have known not to dismiss and mock them and listen to what was actually being said...'

GeorgeOrwellsTurningGrave · 10/04/2024 12:34

Don't forget "weirdos" tee shirt activist David Tennant.

Honestly, I don't think I'd take any of these people seriously again @HowdidImanagetohavetwoaccountaandthenloseboth

StephanieSuperpowers · 10/04/2024 12:38

I don't think that any of us were expecting apologies for the reams of personal abuse we've endured for the last few years. I'm not even slightly surprised that we're responsible for this continuing as long as it did because we didn't say it in the right way for men to listen to us (even though it was said in every single possible kind of way by many different people over the last ten years or so).

They just can't tune into women's voices, which I'm sure is the fault of women. If they didn't have womenvoice, you could listen to them.

Impressed by anyone who can listen to him and not throw their device out of a window. He was making my blood pressure rise even when I agreed with him on a topic.

EvangelicalAboutButteredToast · 10/04/2024 13:05

Isn’t this literally why impartiality of these journalists was so bloody important!!! Twat.

EvangelicalAboutButteredToast · 10/04/2024 13:09

Too many left leaning libertarians were convinced gender ideology was the same as the fight against section 28. They couldn’t be arsed to get into the detailed and just picked a side that sounded right Now the data is coming in it’s a scramble to reverse ferret whilst saving face.

Shame on all of them.

RethinkingLife · 10/04/2024 13:14

Golden bridge. There has to be.

Yes, it would be morale-boosting to have JOB or someone with a similar audience consider the report and deliver even a mild, somewhat self-exculpatory mea culpa.

KOLs have to be able to reconsider without losing their public face. Otherwise, like Balls, they'll double down. And when it comes, the Thermidorean backlash about this will be enormous and carries the risk of enormous collateral damage.

For historians of revolutionary movements, the term Thermidor has come to mean the phase in some revolutions when power slips from the hands of the original revolutionary leadership and a radical regime is replaced by a more conservative regime, sometimes to the point where the political pendulum may swing back towards something resembling a pre-revolutionary state.[11] In his book The Revolution Betrayed, Leon Trotsky alleges that the rise of Joseph Stalin to power was a Soviet Thermidor.

The Cass Report is already discredited. It is a political positioning. Extremely Sad. They dismissed most studies showing the success of blockers because they were not double blinded control studies and newer studies of the last two years.

This is a next to impossible standard, and not one you see elsewhere. It's unethical to do this type of control study on kids - like giving one a parachute and one none when the plane is crashing.

What a complete load of toss, biased, and not worthy of he paper written on.

Ah, central council have released their findings to be disseminated by the true believers.

And simultaneously with the identical post across multiple threads.

Bless.

Aposterhasnoname · 10/04/2024 14:22

Aww bless them, here they come with their last desperate gasps. Mate, even mermaids are saying they agree with a lot
of what cass says. Give it up, it’s over.

Yep Last Leg keep subtly bringing the discussion in. Really disappointing.

Actually, prioritising the gold standard evidence of Randomised Controlled Trials (preferably double or triple-blind) is a standard used all the time. It's observed by companies that want to persuade health and social care commissioners or insurance payers to purchase their services. I strongly recommend the book, Testing Treatments, that is free to download and interactive.

https://www.testingtreatments.org/

See systematic reviews and meta-analyses that contribute to evidence-based medicine. See the risk of bias (RoB) and quality assessment tools like GRADE that are part of those.

See NICE decisions on single or multi-technology appraisals or highly specialised technologies.

See any professional body (with actual relevant clinicians, not WPATH) that writes clinical guidelines.

See anything beyond the clouds of your own ideology. Learn to recognise the agreed and standardised processes for evidence-based health and social care when you see them.

Mishy, you're normally quite predictable but this feels extraordinary, even by your usual standards. Your unevidenced assertions lead to the suspicion that you've not understood what you read or, plausibly, that you're adopting the perspective of others without reading the report for yourself or taking the time to reflect on the 388 pages of it.

Are you just spamming this mindlessly on every post about this? 😂😂

ThreeEggOmlette · 10/04/2024 14:30

I was treated to the dulcet tones of JOB this morning & got to site with raised blood pressure & a headache.

It was the point where he described himself as 'on the fence' with no strong feelings either way' [unlike the 'toxic' people with strong views 'on both sides'.or.course] after a really long emotive pro-trans rights monologue about his concern for trans kids, name dropping Brianna Ghey & a particularly amazing statement about how only people who transed early after having puberty blockers had any right to comment.

Not detransitioners (vanishingly small, very, very tiny, hardly existing group according to JOB)
Not medical practitioners or therapists, working in the field for years.
Not average transgender people who may have an opinion.

The man is a massive, pompous, self righteous, reverse ferreting, arse.

And he never lets anyone speak, can you imagine Christmas dinner at his house?

Vanessa men should be allowed in womens sports feltz , did the same thing on this morning , we need to make sure children are protected ,but lets take the anger out of it and remember to be kind 🙄

"Extremely sad". Thought you would be delighted by that?

Well you would say that wouldn't you?
