Quote:
The Cass report was commissioned by the NHS to sift through the existing research and separate fact from fiction. After more than three years of research, Cass found that the affirmation model generally, and particularly as it was implemented in NHS’s now-shuttered gender clinic, is “built on shaky foundations” and supported by “remarkably weak evidence.” Many of the studies cited as evidence for affirmation “are exaggerated or misrepresented,” she added.
“Ideology on all sides has directed care, rather than care being directed by normal principles of pediatrics and mental health,” Cass wrote.
The report even goes so far as to caution against socially transitioning children, noting that encouraging impressionable children to adopt an entirely new identity is an “active intervention” that makes a patient “more likely to proceed to a medical pathway” from which there is no return. And, as Cass noted, the vast majority of children who express confusion about their gender are influenced by “social factors,” as well as “biological” and “psychological” ones, that are a part of the larger mental health crisis plaguing today’s youth. There is also the undeniable fact that most children grow out of their gender confusion if they are left to mature without intervention.
The last paragraph is particularly damning to elementary schools that have continued to pump out pro-transgender propaganda. The whole nutty scenario of bringing in the drag queens has now been shown to be horribly wrong.
