The Cass Review is being used to restrict trans healthcare worldwide. But look closely and you'll find it's not evidence-based medicine — it's motivated reasoning in a lab coat.

Here are the 11 most damning problems. 🧵

The reviews used to justify this excluded nearly 97% of all studies from inclusion in their analysis. This is an absolutely obscene hatchet job by the NHS specifically created to eliminate access to hormones for trans youth.

⚠️ PUBLIC HEALTH WARNING: We believe NHS England and DHSC policy on transgender healthcare shows signs of ideological capture by the gender critical movement. Current decisions risk serious harm to trans people and undermine evidence-based care.

NHS closed Tavistock over care complaints – there were only eight An eye-opening FOI report has revealed that just eight people complained about the Tavistock gender clinic's care provision in 10 years.

In a functional country, this would be a scandal. A service suffering only from chronic underfunding was ripped apart because the media created a myth of 1000s of complaints of malpractice. The truth - as in my family’s experience - was very different.

When it comes to trans children, that promise has fallen short.

Despite reposting the call to arms below, I didn’t act on it until a few minutes ago.

Why? Because it felt too hard and overwhelming.

It was SO EASY.

We got a 'response' from the BBC, who couldn't be bothered to write more than 3 small paragraphs (153 words) to our letter, and avoided all the points raised.

This is why your help is important.

We sent a formal complaint to the BBC over its repeated misgendering of trans people and use of terms like “biological male”. We’ve also written to the Women and Equalities Committee, DCMS, and the Minister for Women and Equalities. Now we need community action.

I had the privilege of contributing a poem to @rtie.org's Supreme Injustice zine. I wrote a sonnet inspired by the indelible beauty of my transfeminine sisters/siblings, because god, do they deserve a love poem.
