A must read.
Just out! Our peer-reviewed critique of the Cass Review has been published by BMC Medical Research Methodology. Please read and share. We show that the Cass Review is fatally flawed and should not be the basis for policy or practice in transgender healthcare.

Predictably, the government seems to be choosing exactly the wrong response. There is no win here to be had - they won't be able to control the outcome.
Prime Minister Keir Starmer is preparing tougher measures on immigration to stem a record flow of arrivals across the English Channel and stave off the threat posed by Nigel Farage’s Reform UK party after it made sweeping gains in this week’s local elections.

There’s never been any difference between women’s and trans rights: what went on in America demonstrated that!!!
Anti trans groups were prepared to look the other way over Roe v Wade, in return for Republican targeting of trans people.

firmly believe more of us should do this more often
Another historian (that I don't know) sent me an email just saying that they enjoyed my article. Such unusual behaviour that I spent a while trying to figure out what sort of scam it was, but I think it really was just a colleague being nice.
