There is a lot of disinformation flying around about this. The original myth about Cass "dismissing 98% of all data" started because an activist on twitter read the wrong paper.

Question everything, especially if it agrees with you.

Anyone interested in actual skepticism around the Cass review and not something that reads like a rejected Mashable article from some terminally online freak that thinks transgender people did not exist more than a few months ago, check out this article written by someone who is actually qualified: https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/26895269.2024.2328249

"Cis-supremacy in the UK’s approach to healthcare"

Yes that sounds quite scientific doesn't it. Published a whole month before the Cass review was, brilliant prescience you must agree?

An arts degree and a business doctorate do not a qualified person make.

Do you know how systematic reviews work?
