The Cass affair
Abstract
Key messages: The Cass Review led to the UK banning puberty blockers for transgender adolescents, after taking over from the standardised NHS review protocol. The Review repeatedly distorted its own scientific sources. The Review’s outcome was predetermined, with the same rationales for replacing the NHS protocol later recycled into rationales for restriction. The Review concealed its use of material from an anti-LGBT hate group.
