The Truth About the Cass Review - Hannah Barnes | Maiden Mother Matriarch 70 

It's strange that you mention objectivity, since that book seemed highly manipulative to me. I wonder what you made of the included testimonies of trans people? I kept waiting for there to be an actual horror story, but by halfway through all I’d got was four happy trans people who happened to make some slightly controversial comments about other trans people, all based on supposition and none drawing on their own experiences. And then there was the testimony of a parent regarding a child who may or may not have agreed with that testimony, but from whom the parent admitted they were estranged (a technique Lisa Littman relied on heavily when positing her ROGD theory). I can't think of much that could be less objective or more manipulative than quoting that mother calling a trans person she had never met a "groomer", or than uncritically quoting another interviewee making non-evidence based assertions about the causes of gender dysphoria in people they barely knew. I’m very curious where the integrity is in any of that?

I think I see cracks in the Labour Party. I did also think this but they've taken the Cass report on as far as I can tell. The shadow health secretary changed his mind and admitted it!

@@user-tc8yj7zd7k Never trust anything politicians say when they need to get elected. Look at what they do any time they have power.

I'm in Ireland and I'm going to vote for any party that is against gender ideology. Right, left, centrist. I don't care. Just I need politicians in government who understand that this is the main issue of today.

Nice try by the OP pushing the Tory vote. The vast majority of the current situation happened under Tory government. Whichever way it goes will be due to the work of activists and journalists like HB. Do we really need more Tory government? Really?

one good reason? going to need more than that

Until people are prosecuted for pushing themselves drugs without ethical medical oversight, the grey and black marketeering will continue.

And Mary Shelley had to take opium to write Frankenstein.

Sound like a pedo in the making

Eye no rite

Sex as in mammals is divided into male and female. The male makes small gametes -sperm and has XY marker. Female makes large gametes-eggs and has XX chromosomes. They fudge terminology.

Yes. Why on earth would that be a concrete symptom that needs addressing affirmatively VS dysphoria around being able bodied, healthy weight, a particular race etc We do not want to amputate healthy limbs, we do not want to give liposuction to anorexic teens. There is nothing to indicate "Gender" dysphoria is somehow unique and a genuine, mentally healthy urge

Yah it’s infertility

Because she wanted to observe the full extent of the complacency being pushed onto the kids

Yes because the kids are objectively diagnosed and treated You can see tumors on the ovaries …. Like how blinded by ideology are you ?

I am opposed to both minors transitioning and minors getting married, for the same reason, adult situations with long lasting consequences should simply not be allowed to be imposed on minors. Besides, if a minor is intersex, a very tiny fraction of the population, then their bodies will naturally produce cross-sex hormones, which is a birth condition which needs to be addressed at puberty. Outside of these genetic exceptions, adults should just leave minors to make their own decisions until adulthood, much like the fact that INTERSEX INFANT COSMETIC SURGERIES NEED TO END, yet every single trans bill passed by the Republicans has an exception to allow for intersex minor cosmetic surgeries!

@@ryanthomas9306 Puberty blockers have been used in cases of precocious puberty for over 50 years now, with little to no adverse side effects, yet the Republicans and Christian idiots try to tell us that such puberty blockers are dangerous without any long-term usage or study.

@@joeewell4846there are adverse effects and there’s already studies of delayed puberty and worsening cognitive development Puberty improves process thinking, so all that cognitive development is lost

@@joeewell4846if you watch the cass report at 12 minutes marked hormones Cass herself says their controlled tests in the UK showed worsening mental health

If there is a market (demand) for putting kids on puberty blockers then a profit-seeking company is likely to provide (supply).

@@jenniferlawrence2701 And again, in a truly laissez-faire context wherein there is no state-mandated coverage for certain things and state provided protection from litigation we would surely observe greater care, not less, owing to fear of lawsuits.

Well it's going to be competing incentives. Profit Vs fear of lawsuit

@@matthewapsey4869 Does such a world exist? Has it ever?

For one, the federal government has no authority to tell doctors how to practice medicine. That's why when they wanted to keep doctors from prescribing drugs they didn't want prescribed during covid they had to work with the pharma companies and large pharmacies to shut down the supply. Also why off label prescriptions, like prescribing Luprin as a puberty blocker for teens, is allowed to happen. States do have the authority to regulate doctors, but in the absence of regulation at the state level (as we see in California) doctors can do as they please. As for lawsuits, those are coming (there are entire law firms being established in Texas for this purpose, so the personal injury lawyers think this is going to be huge) and some have already been filed. But the doctors themselves are probably protected by the fact that they can claim to be following best practices (as published by WPATH) so they were acting in good faith. The suits will likely have to be filed against the American Medical Association, American Pediatric Association, and American Psychiatric Association for failing to do due diligence on WPATH (which is an activist organization, not a medical body) before accepting their recommendations.

I know what you mean. She's so keen to give everyone their due, but at the end of the day, a lot of wrong was done consciously, and people need to be held accountable, regardless of how that 'made them feel'. 'trying to sit on both chairs' is a great idiom.

Sitting on both chairs ? Hmmm… Is this a case of woman spreading?

​@virginiacharlotte7007 haha, but in cases of guys, it is usually a lack of manners. I think this lady just tries to play it safe and don't come up as "transphobic", subsequently angering the mob. Her empathy had also be heavily jeopardized, the difference is that she is willing to at least look at the evidence of that.

Aww mannn Miroirs, if we both drag our calmvo idiosyncrasies into this other space, think what'll happen to ppl here who have cat allergies...

I just finished reading the report. Where in the Cass Review can I read about 98% of all studies being excluded from the analysis? Must have missed this crucial bit of information. Can you point me to the relevant pages?

@@minstrelmusic-nm4wm Actually you’re right, that is an assertion I took secondhand from commentators I trusted but which, on closer inspection, appears to be an oversimplification. To what degree it is true I won’t know till I finish the review. Thank you for calling me out on it, since I’d rather make this mistake on RU-vid than in a higher-stakes situation. I have deleted that section of my comment. That said, I’m curious what you think about the evidence base for, for instance, social contagion as a cause of gender dysphoria. As I said, I’m only partway through the report, but on p118 I read the following: “Although it is certainly the case that there is much greater acceptance of trans identities, particularly amongst Generation Z, and this may account for some of the increase in numbers, this is not an adequate explanation for the overall phenomenon. Arguments that counter this explanation include: the exponential increase in numbers within a 5-year timeframe is very much faster than would be expected for the normal evolution of acceptance of a minority group […]” These seem like remarkable assertions. Is there any evidence to back them up? Since the review seems to almost completely lack embedded references it’s very hard to know, but the answer seems to be no evidence at all? Indeed, the next 4-5 pages seem full of such contentious assertions but I only counted one reference, to a study (Rawee et al) which did not concern children suffering gender dysphoria, but a vague notion of “gender discontentedness”, which seems to have been invented by its authors. I’m wondering, how does that strike you? Does any of this meet Cass’s own standards, and if so, how?

Cancer is observable

Agreed. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-IKsbXKxTQnw.htmlsi=8txS66qWcAuNc6yM She says nonverbal children are being treated and insinuates they are being treated with puberty blockers and hormones, which is absolutely untrue!

Lol of course trans people are referring to it as terrible because it goes against their “wants”
