Summary
Roundup of non MSM content re Cass Review
While I slog through the final report of The Cass Review, which is like trying to read 400 pages of really bad ‘gender critical’ fan fiction about trans people, I’ve been bookmarking and noting stuff of interest that other people have been discovering in direct or indirect relation to it, as well as responses & critiques.
So I thought Id round these up and put them in one place for reference (in no particular order)
Suffice to say the abuse of this review to attack trans healthcare is a scandal of frankly monumental proportions, which some are rightly calling #CassGate.
