The Cass Review: the end of the trans cult? 

Those responsible for damage to kids need held accountable and jail

"Gender Affirming Care", "Safe and Effective"... how our language has been warped beyond parody.

Who would have ever thought allowing an impressionable young girl to start their sex change at 12 years of age was a bad idea? I’m shocked

It's so ghoulish that they pushed all these drugs on people, especially children.

Considering the doctor who did that report now can’t use public transport and has received hateful messages Simply the answer is no for the radical ones

People have to stand up to these trans activists and stop being so spineless and sitting on the fence.

CLASS ACTION!!! The CASS review (4yrs of research by an esteemed/respected Paediatrician) and the WPATH Files in the USA should put the final nails in the coffin of this horrific ideology

Excellent summary. It's been a mad old decade, with people calling me a bigot for being against the sterilization, medicalization and plastic surgery performed on children and young people, many of whom are autistic or gay, and refusing to believe in a neo-religious gender soul. Spiked has helped me feel less alone.

In years to come, we will look back on this medical practice with the same revulsion as we do lobotomies today.

It’s so scary here in Australia because we have almost ZERO pushback! We are passing more and more self ID and “ conversion therapy ban” laws every year!

My heart breaks for the kids damaged by this horror show.

I’m just SO thankful this report wasn’t suppressed!

A criminal lawyer should now be tasked with investigating those who pushed the various 'treatments' for profit, not for the wellbeing of the patients. The should be prosecuted and they should be sent to jail.

How all these weirdos suddenly get so much power?

Giving kids puberty blockers for their perceived body dysmorphia is like giving liposuction to an anorexic because they see themselves as fat. What they need is counseling.

When I was a kid I wanted to be a ninja turtle. So my parents had my skin chemically dyed green, had my fingers fused together, had a fiberglass shell grafted to my back, gave me karate lessons, only fed me pizza, and let me live in the sewer with a rat so I could live my truth. No, they didn't, because unlike these parents, mine weren't insane narcissists.

If un-affirmed suicide is such a risk for the huge numbers of young gender dysphoric, then where are the heaps of dead by their own hand kids throughout history before this 'care' was a reality? They aren't there, because the overwhelming majority of those kids went on to figure out the confusion of puberty, like most others do, or they ended up being standard 'gay', without the lifelong dependence on expensive and dangerous exotic drugs and medical procedures or risk of sterility.

Worse part is the evil doers will never admit their evil actions

Their ideology refuses any hint of it being incorrect therefore they will never accept that they are incorrect. Edit: Typo

People don't often mention how extremely creepy it is that that famous Bud Light person (I'm happy to have forgotten the name) talked about being a girl, not a woman.

and all the predators should now no longer have ANY cover for their disgusting, heinous crimes.

Oh dear. If there’s one thing i’ve learned about people, is that we never learn

That was very well done. Concise and including all the real facts.

It would be hard to find more ruthless Orwellian doublespeak than "Gender-affirming care" for the sexual psychosurgery, surgical sexual mutilation and chemical castration inflicted on kids.

They never had patients’ best interests at heart. They were always just trying to radicalize another batch of revolutionaries.

It's a cult. It's a club. Wanna join? Tell mommy, better yet your teacher, that you gots a booboo. Remember the 'recovered memory' public hysteria of the late 90''s and early 2000's? Same thing.

To the list of ‘fear, ideology and self-censorship’ I would add ‘self-entitlement and ideological terrorism’.

This is to me a brilliant piece of analysis. Straight down the line with a bit of humour and no nastiness. Long may it continue!

SNP and Scotish Greens are taking on this battle, it won't end well for them at the ballat box.

Stagnant water becomes poisonous - our society/culture and more so the US society/culture has become stagnant and poisonous in the same way. This is just one of the poisons and its a great relief that such a study could be carried out. i cant imagine it being allowed to happen in the US.

Bloody well said. Let's hope custodial sentences follow in the wake of the Cass Report.

Lots of talk with regard to the long awaited Cass Report. The only absolute deterrent to trans ideology/indoctrination is the REPEALING of the 2004 Gender Recognition Act. Following the reactions to the report from various media outputs I am yet to hear a mention of the 2004 GRA.

LGB without the TQ+

Will the Labour Party now make a public apology to Rosy Duffield?

Thank you for reporting on this. Cheers

Childhood sexual trauma can stay there your whole life if its not treated appropriately

The sad thing is that, when this is over, the delulus will find a new topic, a new identity, new victims...

YT has taken down my comments about this, along with those about the studies done in the Nordic countries. They even went so far as a 24 hour suspension. This kind of censorship is truly frightening.

I say that over night: No. But if a BBC show "Have I Got News For You" is only now willing to make fun of gender ideology in ways they never could before. Then I say it is a slow progress and the Cass Report is started something great....

The Cass report has only been mentioned once in the New Zealand media. That article was however, just a media hit job designed to rubbish it.

8:15 - The horrible thing about this stat, is that it's not a new one. Kenneth Zucker, a child psychologist who ran Canada's largest child gender health clinic for 30 years, said something very similar - that in cases where kids who experienced gender dysphoria/incongruence but were NOT put on blockers or hormones, 90% of them grew out of those feelings by adulthood, and 80% of them turned out to be gay. Kenneth Zucker lost his job after being campaigned against by trans activists because his stats were troublesome to them. While Zucker can definitely be criticised for his apparently unsympathetic approach to people claiming they were suffering from gender dysphoria, I expect the 90% of patients he had that grew into healthy, medically-unaffected adults are grateful for his care in retrospect.

Good to see common sense is starting to become common again.

If well over 10 professionals left the Tavistock for moral reasons, there was/is clearly an issue. One or two might be a personality clash but the number that left was clearly a shout "there is something very wrong here" and im someone that supports trans sexuals but not trans genders or self ID. Self ID is the most stupid thing in health care since labotomies nor do i think i child can understand the gravity of a sex change operation.

I doubt many of them have the courage to admit they were wrong. They will simply become irrelevant, drowned out by a sea of snark any time they dare speak.

Well said, Tom. A few generations of otherwise reasonable people have grown up with an exaggerated fear of being called a few nasty names (X-ist, Y-phobe, etc.), and too little will to defend themselves against (or just laugh off) bullshit accusations. But I think maybe this is changing. I even know some college kids who are sick of it. How do we stop things like this from happening again? Stand up and say your peace, everyone, calmly and politely, but forcefully, about any and every issue. No more being intimidated into silence or faux agreement. We'll all be better off.

Thank you for this. Your channel just gets stronger.

Unfortunately not. The activists will just ignore it and continue to push this on to children. Plus many will not have even bothered to read it as they think that they are right - ideology is more important than facts.

at last, sanity prevails, I haven't said a lot about this subject but it's always been clear to me that physically changing the body because of a sociological or psychological condition is a confusion of levels and will not help or fix anything. Thank you Hilary Cass for your work on this and lets have an end to destroying children with these brutal interventions...

It really is a cult. I was in a fandom with a lot of different people. The protagonist of the story is accepted as trans even though it never was a part of the story. I’ve seen people get death threats for saying it makes no sense John is a trans girl.

I am glad to hear that the pharmaceutical and surgical treatments for gender dysphoria in children and young adults have been halted for the time being, but this ideology isn't going to go away anytime soon. The proverbial cat has been let out of the bag, as it were, and putting it back in the bag will be very difficult. As someone who suffered from gender dysphoria in the early 1980s I was given counselling and shown a great deal of care so that I could learn to understand that these thoughts had manifested because of childhood trauma. I am so glad that this kind of thinking was how we dealt with such afflictions back then because as an adult I am proud of who I am and the traits and personality that I was born with. Being true to yourself is about accepting what is undeniably the truth and not being swayed by others to deny what the universe has given you.

this whole thing is just too horrible, I feel so sad for the children who have been through this :( I used to wonder about myself when I was the only girl in primary school who liked maths, but grew out of it, my heart goes out to children who have been let down by their government (allowing this), education (teaching gender ideology), medical services who have done this and parents who encouraged it. I also feel for the parents who were cancelled into silenced x I hope the people behind this are criminally charged and the families affected are compensated for this barbaric example of human stupidity x lets not do shit like this again

So well said

Well said, Tom. I was a miserable as an adolescent. I felt shy, fat and plain. I couldn't get a boyfriend. What happened? I grew up.

When those in power and the media go after the bodies of most innocent and vulnerable in society. There is something very evil behind this.

I've got a 10 year old and 17 year old kid and the difference in the number of kids in their respective classes at school claiming to have gender or sexuality "issues" is unbelievable. 1 out of 32 kids in the 17 year olds class and 8 out of 29 in the 10 year olds.

But esteemed credentialed experts signed off on this at every level "up and down the chain"...

Don't hold your breathe on them admitting they screwed the pooch on a planetary scale.

Excellent and important video. Thank you!

A lot of the left fell for this. As a classic Marxist I didn't and am appalled by what happened to a chunk of the left. I remain Marxist and pro-gay rights but hold much of the left, like ISO in NZ, in total contempt. They are bourgeois toerags.

Excellent. Thank you.

I wonder what dentists said to my parents to get them to give me fluoride which then destroyed my teeth

Hilary Cass deserves a knighthood for this great and highly important work that she and her team have done to put a stop to this terrible wrongdoing to children. We cannot be who we 'want' to be, we are what we were created as and no amount of drugs, surgery, lying and bullying can change this truth. It simply can't, full stop.

They are already rubbishing the report and refusing to believe it.

Listen up Australia

people need to go to jail for this .. .a LOT of people. Otherwise not a single lesson will be learned and the zealots on the far-left of the gender debate will just find another way to bully people into letting them do what they want with young children.

So frustrating that we even had to go through this

Spread this far and wide. They may not accept it in Canadastan.

Such a freaky freaky horrific world ! How was it ever allowed ?

Thanks for the great analysis of the madness we've been living in regarding the invented, incoherent 'trans' nonsense.

It's going to need more than the Cass Review. Gender ideology has been deeply embedded in our institutions. People have been kept quiet for fear of losing their livlihoods. Speaking up is met with a barrage of abuse. We have a long way to go.

No cult is characterised by logic and critical thinking. Unwelcomed facts and data are of no importance. It’s only the feelings they engender that matter.

It’s all part of diverting our attentions to a bigger picture. But what is it? Started with LGBTQ, then Covid and vaccines, then the Ukraine, then climate and taxation to using anything related to fossil fuels.

Unfortunately the zealots are too stupid to face the reality of the situation.

Woke epidemic

Nope...They will just lick their wounds and regroup

If you need medicine and surgery just to be yourself there's something wrong with your sense of self.

There are patently absurd claims in the Cass review, which were used to push a narrative. For example, a major criticism in the Cass review is that current research for trans people is not "double-blind," and therefore insubstantial. This is despite the fact that Cass has corroborated the consensus on this; "double-blind studies have no place in trans healthcare." (Paraphrasing) Not only are they unethical, they're not feasible. This isn't a unique case either, there are plenty of research fields where double-blind studies are not an option. In addition to this, the review also cites known debunked theories, like "social contagion." The review was used to deny trans kids puberty blockers, but cis children can still access them, so it's not like they think the drug is the problem. It seems fairly clear to me that they think trans kids are the problem. Still not dubious? Let's move on to Cass herself. She is not qualified; she's not a specialist in the field. Saying a pediatrician is necessarily informed on gender care is like saying a dentist must be an oral surgeon. There's some overlap if you're working with heuristics, but that's it. That's a generous analogy, though. Dentists have more in common with oral surgeons than pediatricians do with gender care specialists. Cass' intentions are questionable and confusing, if not malicious. This is plainly shown in her inconsistent positions on double-blind studies for trans research, among other things. As for the review itself, there are numerous people with more experience (authority) and with higher quality research. People and organizations with research that wasn't independently funded by a government agency. In this context, the same government agency which directly supported the outcome that the Cass review came to. Confirmation bias and conflicts of interest were vital components of this "review." There are claims in it that are known to be nonsense from yesteryear. There are blatant contradictions which were left in the final product. Why are those things in it? Because it ultimately didn't matter. There will be enough individuals who will say "This medical agency said trans people bad, I WIN!!" Exactly as we're seeing in the comments. No matter how awful the science is, enough people will agree with the conclusion it draws. It doesn't matter that the review is factually inaccurate, it did what it was supposed to. Applying this to some more general stuff, everyone should understand that reviews are not supposed to be the foundation for your beliefs in basically any conversation about research. You're supposed to read the studies they cite, and then supplement with the review itself, because a review is almost always a tertiary source. If you do not understand the studies, the review is just spoon-feeding you. If anyone bothered to look, the Cass review cites anti-gay rhetoric from the 60s within its' sources. Citing 65+ year old research is dubious in the first place, but specifically anti-gay rhetoric? When accounting for all of this, there isn't a defensible position for the validity of this review, prejudice is quite literally in the foundation. It seems to me that when anyone takes the Cass Review at face value, it's because it confirms what they wanted to believe, or because they read the headlines instead of the content. (If that's the case just say so man, it's 300+ pages of schlock. There's no shame in skipping out, just stop pretending to have an informed opinion on the topic.) Let's take inventory. The Cass review: - Stands firmly opposed to scientific consensus - uses fearmongering tactics - uses outdated and debunked anti-trans theories - was funded by a government agency that wants trans people gone - Single-handedly provided the justification for the puberty-blocker ban, with next to no external consultation, and an uproar of substantiated opposition, which went ignored. - Banned puberty blockers only for trans kids. It does not get more clear cut than that, this is an authoritarian decree, not scientific research. Cass herself is starting to look adjacent to Andrew Wakefield, and that's scary. Everyone should be apprehensive of that. If anyone can show me how the Cass review is actually a good faith review of science thus far, go ahead. I think it's pretty obvious that it isn't though. Just another tool for hasty control.

Epic 🎉

The people that are pushing this onto children need their licenses revoked, never allowed to provide any psychological services too anyone. They ought to do 2 years in prison.

This may not be the end. It may not be the beginning of the end but it may be the end of the beginning.

May there be an end to this insanity!!!

I thought it was our societie's job to protect the vulnerable children, meanwhile grooming gangs, covid, and now this.

It's almost like a virgin sacrifice of yore. How many will delete?

How come the true nature of this madness seems clear to some of us, while others seem completely blind to it?

Literally nobody I know is talking about this- and I work in child safeguarding

Appreciate ya. Thanks for sharing.

Facts do not affect ideology. There was already lots of facts refuting their ideas.

Very well reviewed....

The fact that medical ‘professionals’ go along with this garbage, says a lot about intelligence and critical thinking. Some good doctors out there but most, are a a disgrace.

I'm glad the Trans Agenda has been exposed. As a former lesbian who had mild gender dysphoria, I would have been top of the list for gender reassignment.

I don't know a lot about this topic but i have seen people talking about the interview of Dr. Cass's team by The Kite Trust. it seems like they are walking back a lot of their recommendations. "The Cass Review Report does not conclude that puberty suppressing hormones are an unsafe treatment" "the most common age that trans young people were being initially prescribed puberty suppressing hormones was 15. Dr. Cass’s view is that this is too late to have the intended benefits of supressing the effects of puberty" "The Cass Review Report recommends that a different approach is needed, with puberty suppressing hormones and gender affirming hormones being available to young people at different ages and developmental stages alongside a wider range of gender affirming healthcare based on individual need. "

Far from the end.

This cult, and a cult it is, should not go without punishment. Leave the kids alone, let them decide as they grow and mature and their brains develope. Council them as they grow by all means, but dont butcher them

thanks

Excellent. Twin this video with a similar review of the WPATH files and normality shall be resumed! All the gender clinics refer to the WPATH Standards of Care, but leaked conversations show they know their charges can't even give informed consent (the kids don't understand the science, and neither do their parents), while all comorbidities are ignored in order to push the transition medication. The weird paraphilic history of WPATH would make a great third leg of the stool to kick from under the cultists.

Apparently the SNP doesn’t think so!

They won't give up without a fight. Heck, they'll go outright nuclear over this. 😒

I looked at doctors that done sex changes as Doctor Frankenstein, they never knew what the outcome would be, and from different things I seen if someone wants to do a sex change, we need to have age limits, and mental evaluations before anything can be started, just because you can do something doesn't mean it should be done, sometimes there's more harm done than good

.... How come not a single 1 claims to be an alien if they're born in the wrong body????

WELL PUT!!!
