@rokhanna.bsky.social great example of the left-wing hypocrite politician.
He performs the act of feeling outrage and empathy for Epstein's victims.
Yet, he gets up and walks out on the victims of #WPATHFiles #EunanchArchives ##Tavistock #cassreport #detransitioners

Dr. Ting was part of Epstein's pedo ring. Funny, he's part of the WPATH pedo ring too.
He's the butcher of Jazz the boy TLC & his mom exploited to tranufacture consent. #WPATHFiles #EunanchArchives #Epsteinfiles #Tavistock #CassReport #ListenToDetransitioners

The Pathetic Ignorance of Hilary Cass How transphobia is weaponised

Dr Hilary Cass has garnered a certain level of infamy in British politics over the last couple of years. The Cass Review made some quite startling claims that ended up propelling her into a major voice of gender politics in Britain.

Children 'weaponised' in toxic trans debate, Cass says Clinician Dr Hilary Cass says

A transphobic govt asked a transphobe to write a transphobic report to aid transphobic policy, then a different transphobic govt used it to attack trans kids. Kids haven't been weaponised. The #CassReport has been weaponised, *as was intended*.

www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Testing puberty blockers on children in a new clinical trial is fundamentally unethical. With serious unresolved concerns about impacts on brain development and bone density, using vulnerable kids as test subjects in the "Pathways" study is a failure of safeguarding. #PubertyBlockers #CassReport

The way Susan calls out the #CassReport 👏 👏 👏 👏 👩‍🍳 👌

#NHSEngland who also stand four square with the highly engineered #CassReport tool for enabling a corrupt fascist Labour government trans elimination strategy like a philosophical contagion to be eradicated by all corrupted means possible. Crikey at this rate #Starmer should go for Pope.

I say this given UK media & politicians relentlessly cite the #CassReport as a baseline for the ideological shift in trans "health provision" despite probably unprecedented international opprobrium for all things #Cass & its wilful blindness. A Royal Commission could stop and reset this mess. 3/4

‘A real mess’: splits emerge in Labour over supreme court’s gender ruling Growing number of MPs are questioning Keir Starmer’s claim that ruling has brought ‘clarity’ to issue

good: #Starmer's version of govt. ISN'T recognisable as #labour equality-recognising socialists wouldn't endorse the biased & incomplete #CassReport nor the biased & incomplete #SupremeCourt ruling #TransRights are #HumanRights 👊🏳️‍⚧️✊

That's the report currently scourged around the world.

Polish Framework guidelines for the process of caring for the health of adolescent transgender people. Short Extract "In the UK, the only centre providing care for adolescents with GD/GI was closed down. The aim of such an action was to decentralise it into smaller clinics across the country [32]. In practice, although hormonal interventions before the age of 18 are not arbitrarily prohibited, their availability has been temporarily limited due to the lack of new designated facilities. The above changes, criticised by the WPATH from the very beginning [33], were caused by the publication of an interim report by Dr. H. Cass [34], including the preliminary findings of an NHS-commissioned analysis of the quality of care for gender-diverse adolescents [35]. The full report was made public in the spring of 2024. Although it was initially intended to be related to the organisation of healthcare in England and Wales, it caused a stir in public opinion and immediate harsh criticism from the medical and patient communities worldwide [36-38]. A detailed discussion of the document, comprising several hundred pages, goes beyond the scope of the Guidelines. However, the author's concentration mainly on the absence of high-quality research on minors with GD/GI, and her lack of clinical experience indicate the low scientific value and credibility of the report [39, 4012,"

Here's what the Polish had to say on the #CassReport the final nailing down of its coffin lid imo.

Gender Dysphoria Report Treatment for Pediatric Gender Dysphoria: Review of Evidence and Best Practices is a report by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.

My heart goes out to #transgender folks right now, esp in red states, with the release of the #hhs report today.

Like the #cassreport, this will affect all trans people, regardless of age.

If you want to read it, the link is below. It isn't pretty or, *shocked Pikachu face*, scientific.

**on M &Ms and sample selection, or really, on something more** Let’s say you want to “prove” that red M&Ms are twice as common as any other colour M&M. Bear with me – I have a point to this, and it’s about the far right and science. Now, what you’re wanting to prove here it isn’t true – red M&Ms aren’t twice as common as any other colour, they’re one of the less used colours in fact. That doesn’t matter, though – you just want a study saying that, and you want it to look like it’s real. So you get a bowl, and you randomly select a bunch of M&Ms from a supply of M&Ms. This is now your “random” sample. Let’s get counting! Sounds okay, right? Except beforehand, you pre-filled the supply of M&Ms with twice as many red M&Ms as any other colour. So then you study your “random sample” of M&Ms and discover – oh look, there really are twice as many red M&Ms as any other colour! So you publish, and all the people who really, really want to say there are twice as many red M&Ms as any other colour quote you, and use your work, as you intended. A few of them will also write “studies,” using your study as a source, hiding it in footnotes so it looks like they’re doing new and separate work when really, they’re just reference laundering. (If they were referencing your work in good faith, and doing additional work to build on it, that would be different. But we’re operating in a world of hilariously bad faith here, and in general, no actual additional work is done. And besides; they know.) This is how fundamentalist “science” has always worked. This is how Paul Cameron used to produce his “studies” showing that 54% of gay men “regularly consumed the feces” of their sexual partners, how he showed that “homosexual men” were overwhelmingly made up of “violent predators.” He did so by pulling his “random selections” from a specifically loaded pool. In his case, he often chose his “random population” of “homosexual men” out of a collection of imprisoned sex offenders. Since in his mind all LGBT people were, definitionally, sex offenders for the crime of existing – he also published “The Death Penalty for Homosexuality” advocating, well, what it says – I’m sure he felt just fine with that decision. Now let’s apply this to the Cass Report and see what happens. They start with a blanket statement of fact that “the evidence base” for gender supportive care “had already been shown to be weak” before they even got started on their review. That’s on Page 20, if you’re curious, and it’s basically a political statement. Opponents had declared it to be “weak” – particularly the Tories running the NHS – and therefore, it was. It is a conclusion presented before the data collection or the analysis, and a base assumption of the report. “It’s already weak, so let’s prove it.” If you’re putting your conclusion _before_ you get to data or analysis, you have already given away the game. You just have. A lot of people won’t get that, but those of us who have spent a lot of time studying fundamentalist / reactionary “science” will recognise it immediately, because “creation science” does the same thing; they don’t do research to “find out where life came from,” they do research to “show God’s Hand in Creation” and prove Creationism is real, and they say that right up front. Same shit, different sentences. But once you’ve stated your originating intention, how do you go about it? Let’s say you want to be able to say that there are “no high quality studies” supporting gender affirming care for children. That’s very easy to do: you just declare all studies supporting gender affirming care for children to be “moderate” to “low quality.” How do you do that in a way that looks fair? You do it by by deciding what “high quality,” “medium quality,” and “low quality” mean. You need to be clever about it. You can’t just say “if it supports what we oppose, it’s low quality,” even if that’s what you want to do. So they _were_ clever about it, and found a way that sounds real good to the casual reader. First, they decided that only double-blind research really qualified as “high quality.” That sounds reasonable, right? It’s a gold standard for a lot of studies and for very good reasons. But here’s the trick: You literally can’t do double-blind studies on children with significant medical issues. _Particularly not trans kids for gender affirming care_. Why not? 1. It’s well past ‘ethical nightmare’ and into ‘how nice to see you again, Dr. Mengele’ territory, and, 2. _They_ _will always know_ , and in this context, can’t _not_ know. It is actually literally impossible. Any attempt of any reasonable length or size will degrade out of double-blind before it can complete. And even if it was possible – they’re _children_ , for fuck’s sake. Lying to them _and their parents_ about their medical care? Giving them fake medications that they _will absolutely know are fake_ after not all that long? What do _you_ think’s going to happen? _Ask me how I know about this_ , _too._ But that’s not discrediting enough; there really is a lot of work out there, and you can’t just chuck it _all_ out. So then they went through through a hundred-plus studies that failed to meet this functionally impossible bar, and built a set of metrics to judge them. The structure of this judging followed the form of the Newcastle-Ottawa protocol, but using a different set of scales from the AGREE II protocol. That’s fair; AGREE II is common and, used properly, I understand it to be a good metric. But there are categories in it, and those categories can be exploited, if you want. And so the next step was to declare older gold-standard sets of guidelines and best practices – the 2009 Endocrine Society and the 2012 WPATH guidelines in particular, the latter of which built on the first – as lacking “reliability” and to state that they can’t be applied to the NHS even if they had it. They did the same thing for 2022 WPATH, but that one mattered less because it was too new to have much weight. I know – we seem to be very, very deep in the weeds here, it’s foggy and confusing and nobody’s sure which was is north. I’m sorry, this is what it’s always like when getting into this particular area of politics. But we’re getting there. AGREE II includes two categories which are in general highly relevant to clinical analysis: “ _applicability_ ” and “ _editorial independence_.” If you declare, as they did, that 2009 ES and 2012 WPATH (and 2022 WPATH) are _not applicable_ to the NHS, and… If you also declare, as they did, that studies that relied on these protocols are not “building on previous work” but are instead not adequately “ _editorially independent_ …” …then you can heavily downgrade every study which relied on _either_ of those protocols in your AGREE II matrix. And oh my, look at all those red numbers in columns five and six of their tables. Isn’t that just the cleverest thing? So deeply buried! And yet, so important. Out of over 100 studies, the Cass Report went through and evaluated 11 studies on social transition support, 50 on puberty blockers and the like, and 53 on hormonal intervention beyond puberty blockers. With their chosen guidelines and using their chosen selection criteria, modified by their choices about editorial independence and applicability, they managed to reduce every study but _two_ down to either “moderate quality” or “low quality.” And once you’ve done that, if you go looking for “high quality” studies showing gender affirming care works for trans children, then oh look – our research shows are almost no high quality studies supporting gender affirming care for trans children! And none at all for social support! Yay! Objective _achieved_ , we can publish, and the _New York Times_ can eat it up and echo it forever while rightist politicians have a field day campaigning to hurt queer kids. It’s the same fucking trick every goddamn time. Not one single note has changed, the same kinds of people keep using the same kinds of routines, and it it’s all one big goddamn lie. And it’s all because a lot of people would rather have a dead son than a live daughter, and some of them are billionaires, and so they’re willing to move heaven and earth to make sure if that’s the choice, they’ll get the one they want, the lives of their own children be damned. Just like a lot of fathers used to _kill_ their gay sons, and just like fundamentalist families flooded the streets of my town and many others with their own children that they made homeless and destitute at their leaders’ urgings, because they’d all rather see their children _die_ than not be what _they_ want. If this reminds you of anything, maybe it should. In all honesty, in all fair disclosure, I can’t prove this report was this sharply agenda driven. I’m just saying that it sure _looks to me_ like it is, because I’ve seen this pattern before, and I’m seeing it again, and in these issues it’s _always_ been used for evil. Plus there’s the part where they immediately used this report to do what they wanted to do anyway, and issued a blanket ban on gender affirming care for trans kids, and then doubled down on it on their way out of power using a method that meant it couldn’t even be appealed for months. I’m not even saying these studies are somehow earth-shatteringly great; some of them aren’t. Some of them _really_ aren’t. There’s a lot of problems with population size, there’s the near-impossibility of double-blind (tho’ turns out it’s not impossible, at least not with young adults in particular rare situations), there’s a lack of funding and a huge political investment in making sure this _isn ’t_ studied, or if it is, that it’s not studied fairly. None of this leads to optimal science! And all of these issues _do_ lead to issues with process and rigour and those _do_ matter. But even with all that, the results are still _pretty fucking stark_. If nothing else, ask anyone who’d rather have a _live_ daughter than a _dead_ son, or a _live_ son than a _dead_ daughter, ask _them_ how it’s going with _their_ trans kid. And ask about how they’d feel about a report like this being used to shut it all down. I’m pretty sure they’ll tell you. Sometimes, even if they’re Republicans. 102 days remain.
