So, since the Cass Report was published, that makes 5 nations whose major medical associations have rejected the Cass Report --France, Germany, Switzerland, and Austria have all done so as explicit policy - and now the UK's medical establishment itself impugns it.

Thank you, S. Baum & Erininthemorning.

BTW, could anyone please, please, please locate a linkable source to the ACPeds member who was in the leadership of the church that tried to raise the dead by prayer?

No comment yet from the Washington Post I bet. I wouldn't hold my breath.

WAPO has failed the American people, absolutely and completely. Do not expect anything good to ever come from it again.

WaPo has been editorially captured by the oligarcuck class and we shan't see it labor on behalf of democracy ever again.

The debunkings of these monstrous hit-pieces are always very much appreciated, but I feel that the old adage "a lie can make it halfway 'round the world while the truth is still putting its boots on" is in desperate need of an update. In the age of modern telecommunications, transphobic lies can make a couple dozen round trips to the fucking 𝘝𝘰𝘺𝘢𝘨𝘦𝘳 𝘱𝘳𝘰𝘣𝘦𝘴 before the truth is even out of bed.

Heh! Regarding Brandolini's Law, I make a like observation there.

No surprises here. It has always been evident that the Cass report - as well as much other anti-trans propaganda - is deeply flawed. The issue here, from this point forward, is the press coverage and news dissemination of these flaws to the general public, which recently has been only too happy to endorse/support restrictions and bans on trans people’s civil rights. The press has been only too happy to put forth anti-trans “studies” and propaganda, so now maybe they can report the other side of the story.

The lickspittle and supine mainstream media trumpeted the Cass report and the RFK JR HHS anti-Trans 400 page snot rag but will 110% ignore the debunking of both. I guarantee it

And this is why in 2020 71% of Democrats supported Trans rights and 29% of Republicans, but today only 47% of Democrats and 12% of Republicans.

We will be marched into the death camps not to "Für Elise" or "Blue Danube" but to the tune of the mainstream media who's selling us out merely to curry favor with an ascendant MAGA public who will continue to despise and hate the formerly free media even if it enchains itself, and no matter WHAT else they do.

The BBC will also not report on this. They've been completely captured by institutional transphobia. Cass has been repeatedly cited as "an expert in high standing of children's pediatric care" after the global criticism has already hit Cass.

The Dutch broadcaster NOS also won't backpedal: they've been continuing to cite Cass as a "highly regarded pediatrician who exposed many scandals at Tavistock, ordering it closed."

Thank you for the work you and your team do. Having the consistent information is critical right now to fight the lies where ever possible. It has been the plan all along to overwhelm us, but having all of the information helps slow than down.

Erin, I really appreciate your research and reporting. It's really helpful to have that amount of context and detail on these topics, and to have it in an easy-to-find place (for referring back to). I rely on your work to be informed and credible, and I often use it to rebut garbage comments and reporting. Thank you for what you do. It makes a difference.
