A Coventry Cllr defected to them not too long ago. Which is interesting given she'll have no idea what policies they'll have

Landmark Report Finds Major Flaws in the Cass Review โ€œThese issues significantly undermine the validity of the Cass Reviewโ€™s recommendations, such that the Review fails to fulfil its aims as commissioned and should not be used as the basis for policy.โ€

1. A landmark study has found major flaws in the Cass Review.

Almost two dozen researchers have published their takedown of Cass in the BMC Medical Research Methodology journal.

This review was cited over 100 times by the HHS report.

The latest from S. Baum.

Just out! Our peer-reviewed critique of the Cass Review has been published by BMC Medical Research Methodology. Please read and share. We show that the Cass Review is fatally flawed and should not be the basis for policy or practice in transgender healthcare.

The NHS GIC wanted a shared care agreement with my GP, but my GP declined on the basis of "NHS guidance."

I have to self medicate, with my GP refusing to do blood tests. I'm not even a trans child, I'm Trans Officer for LGBT Labour.

It's unsafe for trans kids and trans adults.

Poor mental health costs ยฃ118bn. Benefit cuts are not the answer The Mental Health Foundation argues that the cost of cutting disability benefits will be greater than the savings.

Mental health problems cost the UK economy at least ยฃ117.9bn annually according to the Mental Health Foundation. It warns that cutting the benefits of people with mental health conditions will not lead to savings for the government in the long term

Diagnosis isn't really relevant either way to this issue as neither PIP nor incapacity benefit follow from a diagnosis but an assessment of capability.

A Year Without Nex Benedict "We are saying that the rhetoric is just as damaging as the bullet or the blow."

a year ago 16-year-old Oklahoman Nex Benedict died after a bathroom beating. in the time since, we've lost more trans kids, while losing federal trans rights.

โ€œWell, it appears that he just declared everyone a woman from conception based on the language of the executive order,โ€ McBride noted.

Teenager stabbed in transphobic attack by gang outside Harrow roller blades disco The victim suffered nine knife wounds and was subjected to transphobic slurs

Incidents like these are caused by repeated, intentional decisions to perpetuate the disgusting and dehumanising rhetoric surrounding trans people.

In Thames Valley, crime against trans people has the single highest percentage increase of ANY crime. The Government must act.
