Please share this widely. There have been 13 peer-reviewed critiques of the Cass Review, to the extent that academia regards it as pseudoscience, but so far all have been subject to organised censorship by mainstream media. This is the first time one has broken through. Oz Guardian only still.

As well as discrimination in general healthcare, years long waiting lists for gender-affirming healthcare are ruining trans people’s lives.
We urgently need increased funding for gender-affirming healthcare, improved training for GPs, and to co-produce services with trans patients.

Streeting was this week talking about the completion of the "data linkage" study proposed by Cass, which would pick through the lifetime medical history of anyone who had ever attended GIDS, without express permission being given.
In the light of this, suggest you consider an opt out.

Streeting confirmed in parliament today that the "data linkage" study is still underway and will be completed.
As far as I know the SI that Sajid Javid used is still in force till 2027? Presumably there are still folks working on that “data linkage” study that gives access to the medical records of anyone who ever was referred to GIDS.
