Looks like an important case.

PSHE Brighton nails the issue in this quote:

“A <a class="break-all" href="https://archive.ph/o/ioSTS/www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2024/05/01/autistic-trans-teenager-must-not-be-prescribed-hormones/" rel="nofollow" target="blank">pipeline of vulnerable, traumatised, often autisticc and same-sex attracted children in Brighton and Hove being fast tracked for irreversible sex-change treatment”.

Re-reading the thread as it has resurfaced and I noticed this for the first time: "loss of body autonomy in later life."

'The Cass Report describes that the absence of an extended assessment and / or absence of ongoing therapeutic relationship with a specialist clinical team risks a premature and inexorable commitment to a medical pathway, with potentially irreversible physical and psychological effects (including impaired physical growth, sexual functioning and cognitive development), and loss of body autonomy in later life."

What is this referring to: "loss of body autonomy in later life."?

Good spot.

@Ilikeanicecupofteainthemorning I agree it doesn't sound good.

I wonder if it is referring to the impact of a compromised endochrine system and/or surgery complications. I could well imagine several of the impacts worsening with age, like incontinence. Females who take testosterone and males who undergo vaginoplasty can sadly expect to be incontinent.

Obviously anyone can get incontinence or double incontinence. But having either or both from a young age doesn't bode well for the future - a worsening impact sounds plausible and would fit the description of a loss of autonomy.
