In the past decade, transphobia in the UK metastasized from a fringe form of bigotry to mainstream politics.

Has Streeting EVER said ANYTHING that isn't hypocritical in the extreme?
He's created such despair for trans kids that they are self-harming, starving themselves, not drinking & dying by suicide.
If he genuinely wanted to end despair, he could do so today.

The new Aussie critique of the Cass Review does not pull its punches about its failures, & makes the point that "gender-critical beliefs" should be declared.
Since transphobes have made so much of having these protected by law, they should be required to declare them.

It's just the same story over and over. Anytime a group of doctors take an honest look at the Cass Review they realize it's bunk.
The irony is that Cass and her confederates were convinced they were blowing the lid off a major medical conspiracy to trans kids.
Transphobe physicians heal thyselves.

“Evidence‐based medicine has three pillars: (i) appraisal of research evidence, (ii) real‐world clinical expertise, and (iii) individual patient values and preferences. The Review's failures across all three are evident.”

I think it reflects a change in public attitudes. I’m seeing people realising how evil transphobes are with Starmer’s/EHRC’s toilet ban. There is a grassroots level change in attitudes as people realise what the GCs are like, and Fry is reading the room.
