I am incredibly disappointed in both British and Dutch media, because they write without any criticism about a new anti-trans report by Hilary Cass, who was appointed to review #transgender health care by the NHS in the UK.

Cass calls herself "independent", but she's following the blueprint of the "Florida Review" closely, another politically motivated report by TERF quacks which had banning trans health care as their purpose. In the #CassReview which was released last Wednesday, trans kids are the victim. Cass leaves away 100+ studies which mention overwhelmingly positive effects of gender-affirming healthcare, because those do not use "double blind" testing. (Yeah, because you can't do that. Not easy or ethical to test e.g. puberty blockers like that - kids WILL notice.)

By omitting nearly all real science, it's easy to pretend that "we don't know enough" and that we should focus on the bad effects for a very tiny minority.. And that's what media published 😡
