Cass Review full of ‘stigma and misinformation’ and should not guide trans youth care, say experts

A newly published study has argued the Cass Review into trans youth care, published in April 2024, is full of 'stigma' and 'misinformation'.

Pam Bondi deleted a government study showing that right-wingers commit more terrorism. The right cannot think coherently so instead of making their own studies, they censor legitimate ones.

But don't worry Pam, we saved it for you! web.archive.org/web/2025091116…

Our Power is Our Money

Their efforts to erase history and to delete studies and other documents is juvenile. Every document that comes out of every government agency has been saved by someone. To an extent, they can stop new things from being published, but they can't delete what's already been done.

Everyone who comes across something that they are attempting to delete should download whatever it is. The more people who do, the more difficult to keep it from the public eye.

In order to facilitate those who leave the city, starting from this moment, the Al -Mawasal area is eliminated as a humanitarian area, in which steps will be taken to provide better humanitarian services.
Al -Rasheed Street is dedicated to you as a human way, and at this stage you can leave quickly and vehicles without inspection.
In addition, restoration work is being performed in the European Hospital, to enable better medical services to the population.
Take the opportunity to move to the humanitarian area early, and joined tens of thousands who have already moved to it.

Emmett Till would've been 84 today. He was only 14 when white supremacist terrorists horrifically murdered him.

The white woman Carolyn Bryant Donham who accused him of harassing her later confessed she lied. The warrant for her arrest was never enforced. She died only 2 years ago in 2023 at the age of 88.

White supremacy terrorism isn't ancient history. It's not even history. It's contemporary reality.

Study Ordered by Utah Republicans Finds Gender-Affirming Care Benefits Trans Youth

Trans women and fairness in sports


Transgender Athletes Could Be At A Physical Disadvantage, Research Shows

forbes.com/sites/lindseyedarvi…

Specific claims of unfairness are self debunking if the source is at all honest about the situation.

For example trans marathon runner Glenique Frank finished 6,159th in the female category but you would get an entirely different impression if you didn't read past the headlines in the daily mail: archive.ph/udkN7

Similarly, Riley Gaines's fairness grievance was literally a tie for fifth place.

Nobody's placement changes if Lia Thomas didn't compete and again, the complaint was that a trans women dared to perform equally to a cis women athlete.

Then there's the chess controversy which is so ridiculous and misogynist that I don't need to dignify it with a debunking. It's just sexism dressed up as concern for cis women.
