The paediatrician, who has been advised to stop using public transport, describes ‘straight disinformation’ about report
The doctor behind a landmark review of the NHS’s gender identity services for children and young people has said fears had been raised about her personal safety amid online abuse after the report’s release.she wished to address the “disinformation” circulating about the findings and recommendations handed down by the Cass review when it was published on 10 April.
The report said the evidence base for gender medicine in young people had been thin and children had been let down by a “toxic” public discourse around gender.Cass told the Times: “I have been really frustrated by the criticisms, because it is straight disinformation. It is completely inaccurate. She added: “I’m not going on public transport at the moment, following security advice, which is inconvenient.”
When the report was released, Cass stressed that her findings were not intended to undermine the validity of trans identities or challenge people’s right to transition, but rather to improve the care of the fast-growing number of children and young people with gender-related distress.
