The 'Cass Review' has been debunked by just about every creditable (unbiased) medical organisation. It is total bunk, but it fits the fascist anti-trans agenda, so they keep wheeling it out.
They just want to delay, delay, delay your transition until you're dead. Starmer and Streeting: the SS.

Germany had its own January 6-style attempt at a coup. It also failed. But Hitler was sent to jail.

The Columbia Network Pushing Behind the Scenes to Deport and Arrest Student Protesters
For Columbia University alumni and faculty on a behind-the-scenes WhatsApp group, speaking out for Palestine or criticizing Israel is tantamount to backing Hamas.

My first and definitely last time working with the Los Angeles Times. Editing out the most urgent point of an OpEd in the minutes before sending to press while then also assigning a title and image that suggest an argument entirely opposite to the author’s clear intent is pretty shitty.

Chicago homicide is down 7% this year, almost 30% since 2021.
NYC down 8% this year, 15% since 2022.
LAPD down 20% this year, 30% since 2022.
A remarkable reversal of the Covid spike in city after city. Yet no Big Thought pieces on "what went right." Mostly just ... silence.

Suffice to say, the convo didn't go super well.
