You two know perfectly well that Dr. Cass was not able to assess the effects of the treatment. You know perfectly well that she was refused access to the data of the treated children the moment these children became adults. The information is available, but being held back. We want to know what became of those children. Treated on experimental basis for more than 20 years.

On the contrary, she makes a fantastic point. If you consider that we're talking about 1000 people over 10 years, and you want randomised control studies to recommend a specific treatment, then you're effectively saying there will be no treatment at all. Large studies in medicine (especially for pharmaceutical compounds) comprise hundreds of thousands to millions of patients being evaluated over the course of many years. Conducting such research is only possible because there is big money to be earned by pharmaceutical companies, and it is also the reason why drug research is a gigantic and absolutely elite business model (see the maker of Ozempic eclipsing the entire economy of Denmark, its parent country). There will never be such studies on trans youths, unless we approach the subject on a world-wide scale, the numbers just aren't there. This entire "issue" has been manufactured and blown completely out of proportion by a right wing culture war machine. We are in essence talking about a couple of dozen kids per year on the scale of a population of dozens of millions of people (UK). That's not even a fraction of a percentage point, you're talking one or two in a million, but absolutely everyone just has to have an opinion on it.

You do if the medication is the current standard of care and has been for some time. When designing your RCT, you have to be able to justify withdrawing a treatment which has evidence of efficacy and safety (even observational evidence). If your alternative already has observational evidence suggesting it isn't effective, that is a very hard sell to an ethics committee. There is a reason ~55% of paediatric management with strong recommendations are based on observational evidence. Doing RCTs in paediatric populations is very challenging from an ethical perspective.

It is disingenuous to say broadly that puberty blockers have been used safely for many years. They have been used in specific situations like prostate cancer, endometriosis, and precocious puberty. You cannot draw the same conclusions about the risk/side ffect profile of their use in adult populations for certain cancers or endometriosis as with paediatric population in precocious puberty. The same can be said for the use puberty blockers in precocious puberty (which is the suppression of early puberty due to a central causes) against the use of them in halting normal puberty in physiologically healthy children to treat gender dysphoria. They are not the same thing at all. All the Cass report is saying is right now is the evidence is currently poor for this specific indication and so we should take our time to ensure appropriate mental health services are in place for these vulnerable young people, and have clincal trials in this country only with good follow up so we can draw more valid conclusions at that time.

Your assigned sex at birth has massive impact on your life- for example, millions of babies assigned female at birth throughout Asia are murdered in infancy (before they have any sense of gender) because they are deemed 'less worthy' than male babies in heavily patriarchal cultures. Assigned sex at birth is extremely impactful on the individual's life experience and social treatment.

@@LeftPhilip I was recently assessed by a doctor because I had a bad cough. I was diagnosed with bronchitis and treated with antibiotics. What if I had been not been properly assessed, and, based on that one symptom, was treated for lung cancer? Would that be good medical practice? The Cass report indicated that children are not being properly assessed and directed to one specific medical intervention, having presented with a medical condition which may require, not only further assessment to confirm or deny, but radically different treatment. Is the Cass report wrong about this? A child is no more a psychiatrist, than I am an oncologist. Cancer patients do not campaign for all children with a cough to skip proper medical assessment and be treated for cancer. Why is this medical intervention different from any other? Yes, improve awareness, stop kids being bullied, fund better services for trans children, shorten the waiting lists. Nobody wants to deny them access to treatment. But do it properly. It's not controversial. It's not transphobic. Myself and many other children I grew up with were bullied relentlessly for being different, and I'm sure there are many children going through the same thing today, for many different reasons. No children being bullied means no trans children being bullied. 15 years working in education, including many as a therapist for young adults, taught me there's still a lot to be done for all children, and trans are children included in this. I know it's not all about the bullying, but when there is no fully appropriate and risk-free medical intervention for a disabling medical condition, you support that person in every other way possible to alleviate their suffering. The Cass report indicated this is not being done. At least on this, we should be able to agree.

But if someone said _"Don't you think we're over-prescribing it to children, with little understanding of the long-term effects?"_ I would say _"That's a totally reasonable concern, and something we should be studying."_ It just wouldn't be cogent to respond: _"Listen to the activists, and trust the diagnostic criteria. Don't you think neurodivergent children know what's best for themselves? Do you want to go back to a time where those children are abandoned to a life of failure and misery, and potential suicide?

I'm encouraged to read the comments here because the reporting in this segment is appalling. "Controversial"? The release of Cass has caused the BBC to gulp, The Guardian to gulp, Owen Jones looks like he got hit by a truck and even Pink News went straight with its reporting, which was really quite something to behold. Natacha Kennedy complains about the lack of RCTs when WPATH cobbles together its 'Standards of Care' (which aren't standards of care any more than the Ministry of Defence is about defence) largely from anecdotes about 'lived experience' and in practice appears opposed to RCTs on puberty blockers and other aspects of trans healthcare. For instance, it has been argued that since they take it as a given, based on this anecdotal evidence, that puberty blockers are safe and effective, it would be *unethical* to withhold them from any cohort deemed in need of them, as would be necessary in any RCT. By starting with their conclusion on these drugs, they precluded all attempts to verify their claims by conducting RCTs. But now they want RCTs from Cass. If there was a hell for these ghouls to go to... I hope it's especially hot.

“If the only tool you have is a hammer, you tend to see every problem as a nail.” Referrals to Taverstock and gender clinics presented a problem when it is clear from the patient data that most had 5 or more mental health comorbidities including anxiety, depression, autism, neurodivergence eating disorders as well as gender dysphoria it is unsurprising that the gender clinics only provided gender affirming care rather than assess the likelihood of other factors influencing the gender dysphoria. Gender affirming care ideologically will not investigate causes of gender dysphoria but simply affirms the gender identity and sets the patient on a trans gender conveyor belt based on limited evidence.

22:59 sadly, yes, these studies take time. Which is why they should’ve been being done the entire time you were prescribing a medication for off-label use and messing w endocrine systems. Even if it was an observational study it would’ve given them SOMETHING. It’s impossible for these doctors to see it another way, because then they would have to admit they were somehow acting in not the best care. You can’t experiment on children. Period. So why did you? Gender identity in children and adolescents must remain non-medicalized, and focused on their mental health. Then as an adult 18+ they can make their choices regarding medications and surgery. I really think this is being made more confusing than in needs to be.

The medications have been used for children for decades and are know to be safe in children. Doctors have been using observational studies for the whole time they have been prescribing for trans kids. The problem with this 'report' is that it literally ignores hundreds if not thousands of studies and only looked at the kne study that agreed with what they already thought. Published studies in medicine have been shown to be non repeatable at a rate of roughly 60%. When you pick out one study which disagrees with the vast majority of studies, that study is almost certainly bullshit.

@@jackoh991 because the medications had been studied for precocious puberty and shown to be effective for that reason- (it stopped the early puberty but did not stop them from going thru puberty at the appropriate time, ie the drugs were stopped and physiologic processes were allowed to continue). The way it’s used in gender medicine is to stop puberty at its appropriate time, followed by cross sex hormones. So the child is unable to go thru the biological puberty their body needs to go thru. This physician claims not many people ever received the drugs across Europe and UK, but no one actually knows how many people received them, what their side effects were, or have completed follow ups on their growth, bone density, brains, etc. not to mention all the people in the U.S. and Canada. NO ONE thought to actively track these patients. I understand the point both doctors were making about the ethical problem with doing double blind studies. My point is that giving medications to appease a psychological discomfort by way of halting a physiologically necessary process and causing changes to appearance by cross sex hormones at the expense of a persons natural endocrine processes should give providers pause to consider. Additionally, you have to consider if a child or teen really could possibly understand what it is they are doing. It really feels common sense from an ethical perspective to me 😢

I’m all for trans rights and greater access to trans related healthcare and support, but the idea that children, particularly teenagers, should be prescribed hormone blockers because it’s a human right is so anti scientific I can’t believe it’s taken seriously. We do not know the long term consequences of these treatments since our database is not large enough yet. We absolutely have to be careful about pursuing chemical treatments and we absolutely should be pursuing support in other ways before getting to the point where you may need hormone therapy.

I'm in the US now, and trying to explain the NHS and how that impacts societal discourse is so difficult to explain. I was asked how Cass could possibly have expertise, despite her experience working with the most vulnerable/disabled children, and doing hundreds of interviews for affected users in the review. One thing that is overlooked is that given the NHS is a truly public system, NHS doctors that work across the country, in GIDS, or cities will certainly see all aspects of society, classes, races, religions etc., which is a unique and invaluable perspective when you are trying to form a general understanding of the public impact of a health policy. Often in the US clinics (and Private UK clinics), the patients are already incredibly self-selected, and so doesn't really provide the same perspective, I think that should be taken into account when listening to the opinions of private doctors like Dr. Kelly

FWIW, I'm a regular Novara listener and subscriber, though I have signed in with a new account. It's disgraceful how much bullying, name-calling and shouting down people on the left have to endure from their own side just because they believe in logic and science. The number of people I've heard quietly whisper gender critical comments that they'd never say out loud.

Yeah it is insane. Everyone knows what they were born as, it is quiet evident when the parents and the doctor observe the babies genetalia. Even before that, the gender of the baby can be observed early on through scans :)

As one person said, they are focussing on the wrong issue - They want to fix things for trans people, they should focus on reducing waiting lists, not stopping treatments. Its worth pointing out that firstly no-one gets hormone therapy *until* they come of age and there is *no* suggestion they are going to stop using Blockers for cis children with precocious puberty, so why all the preciousness about using them for Trans kids to give them time to find themselves? Forcing children to undergo a puberty they don't want, to go through irreversible, or hard to reverse, changes to their bodies, is completely unethical.

I appreciate the balanced conversation here. It's hard to find cause both sides in this debate seem to be exaggerating what the report means. For the record, I agree with the government stance here; until there is sufficient evidence of its benefits for trans youth, puberty blockers should be banned. The report however does not undo the stacks of evidence that HRT is beneficial to the lives of trans adults and so it's not the death knell to 'trans ideology' that some transphobes are purporting it to be. Remember whatever your stance is on this issue that the goal here is to ensure that as many people as possible can get their healthcare needs met. You may not fully understand trans peoples' needs but the majority them are just trying to live their best lives and would rather be left alone instead of having their right to exist constantly questioned online and in the media.

In Canada, 62% of teens are prescribed puberty blockers at their first visit to a gender clinic. Please look up a Radio Canada report entitled "Are puberty blockers being prescribed too quickly to young people?" The average wait time to be referred to such a clinic was less than 9 months. There is no way this issue is being over-politicized. It's a terrible kind of social contagion that spreads like wildfire, and medical treatments can ruin these young people's lives. The utmost caution is required.

In general, the problem is not just 'gender identity care' (to be short with terminology) - the problem are CAMHS (in this country and in manchester in particular): better avoid them altogether. They do more harm than good, I would close them down to avoid serious harm to children and adolescent. Their 'intervention' almost risked my daughter's life. Go abroad if you can.
