The Cass Review


From Sex Matters:-

The Cass Review final report is out!

We think it is a big step forward, with multiple implications that will be hugely consequential. It demolishes the entire basis for the current model of treating gender-distressed children. 

This means the end of paediatric gender medicine as we know it in England, and it will have global reverberations. 
 
The report  makes stinging criticisms of NHS gender clinics, both adult and child, and the description of the Gender Identity Development Service is absolutely damning.

Cass sometimes uses terminology – cisgender, assigned at birth, and  “trans females” that is inaccurate, unscientific and confusing. But that does not detract from the many important points she makes in this groundbreaking report.

Women of Dorset have contacted all those standing in the eight constituencies that cover Dorset, including Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole. Below is the response from Michael Tomlinson (Conservative) - Mid Dorset and North Poole. Dear Women of Dorset,   Thank you for your email and your questions. I hope that the following answers them all for you:   A woman is an adult human female. You cannot “become a woman”. You are born female, with XX chromosomes and grow up to be a woman.   I welcome the recent announcement by the Prime Minister that the Conservative Party will introduce primary legislation to clarify that the protected characteristic of sex in the Equality Act means biological sex, in addition to legislating that a person can only have one sex in the eyes of the law in the United Kingdom. This means that organisations like refuges can use the law as it was intended.  I agree that Women should have the right to female-only spaces in both everyday and specialist situations –
