What are the key findings of the NHS gender identity review?

[Social Media]

 

The NHS gender identity review, conducted by Dr. Hilary Cass, highlights several key findings regarding the current state of gender identity services for children and young people. Here are the main points outlined in the review:

 

1. Lack of Evidence:

The review emphasizes the remarkably weak evidence in the field of gender identity services, particularly regarding medical interventions such as puberty blockers and cross-sex hormones. Despite the polarized debate surrounding these interventions, there is insufficient high-quality evidence on their long-term outcomes.

 

2. Toxicity of Debate:

The discussion around gender identity care is highly polarized, leading to exceptional toxicity both among health professionals and in wider society. The report acknowledges the divergent views within the medical community and the challenges clinicians face in openly discussing their perspectives.

 

3. NHS Services and the Tavistock and Portman NHS Trust:

The review scrutinizes the practices of gender identity services provided by the NHS, particularly focusing on the Tavistock and Portman NHS Trust. It highlights the significant increase in referrals to these services, accompanied by a shift in the demographic profile of patients.

 

4. Changing Patient Profile:

There has been a notable shift in the profile of individuals seeking gender identity services, with the majority now being teenagers assigned female at birth. The review explores potential factors contributing to this shift, including mental health issues and the influence of social media.

 

5. Transitioning and Social Transition:

The report discusses the complexities of transitioning for young people and emphasizes the importance of considering all options and involving parents in decision-making. It also examines the impact of social transition and highlights the lack of conclusive research in this area.

 

6. Future Care and Recommendations:

The review calls for improved screening and assessment procedures for young people seeking gender-related support. It questions the effectiveness and safety of various medical interventions, such as puberty blockers and cross-sex hormones, emphasizing the need for further research and evidence-based practice.

 

Overall, the review underscores the urgent need for a more robust evidence base and a nuanced approach to gender identity care for children and young people within the NHS.

Take away ... inconclusive and or, they haven't a clue.

 

Only notable info, more lesbians coming out of the closet ...

... "majority now being teenagers assigned female at birth"

 

Real, or just wanting to be cool like everyone else ?

What a waste of time/money.

 

Impossible to get an appointment to see a Doctor but they have resources for gender indentity reviews. 

 

No wonder the NHS is broken with this type of nonsense.

From what I've been reading, puberty blockers and cross-sex hormones work as intended, to make boys into girls, and are probably irreversible, though why anyone would want them to be temporary is beyond me. I very much doubt that they will grow a penis in females, though they are apparently a wizz at shrinking the genitals of boys.

 

Given that children don't normally have a clue about life, let alone sexual identity, it's an abomination that such things were being given to children, because their parents decided that they could.
