Our methodological critique of The Cass Review has been peer-reviewed published & is therefore way more authoritative than Cass which is un-peer-reviewed.
Streeting/Starmer can no longer claim Cass is “gold standard” or “landmark”.
Cass is just junk science.

ILGA is one of the biggest LGBT rights orgs in the world
Every year they do a ranking of each country to score how it is doing on LGBT rights. In 2015 the UK was the highest scoring country in Europe. As of last year we had dropped to 15th
I've plotted the UK's score over the last few years

My friend,
the cautious academic,
who lives in another country,
tells me she is canceling
her conference plans
for traveling
has become too dangerous,
and so I asked her
if she was worried
about border issues
or about getting sick,
and after a quiet moment
she responded: yes.

I wrote this yesterday before I heard the news about Sussex being fined £585,000 by the higher education regulator OfS led by Arif Ahmed (what a confirmation of bias!) and the repetition of that old cover story, 'Hounded.'
Hope it helps. Killjoy solidarity!
