We are about to see a Cass Review stateside and we must do something
The Trump administrations HHS,led by noted vaccine denier Robert F Kennedy Jr, is cooking up a baseless junk science study in relation to gender affirming care.
In just about two weeks, we are going to see a junk science review released by the Department of Health and Human Services regarding gender affirming care that is, by design, meant to oppose it. It is going to heavily follow the playbook of the Cass Review in England, another anti trans study.
The initial foundations for this were laid at the beginning of Donald Trump’s term in his order “PROTECTING CHILDREN FROM CHEMICAL AND SURGICAL MUTILATION”, signed on January 28th, in which he directs HHS to publish a review of gender affirming care within 90 days of the order being signed, saying:
“within 90 days of the date of this order, the Secretary of Health and Human Services (HHS) shall publish a review of the existing literature on best practices for promoting the health of children who assert gender dysphoria, rapid-onset gender dysphoria, or other identity-based confusion.”
First off, you wrinkly orange fuckface (I know, I’ve used this before), I don’t know why on Earth you are coining the phrase “rapid onset gender dysphoria”, (which is complete and utter bullshit, but that’s a can of worms to be opened at a later date) like its something you just catch, a contagion of sorts.
I’m not a medical professional, so I will not opine on this too much, but I know enough to know that gender dysphoria isn’t something you just catch, like the flu or COVID.
In this executive order, they also take jabs at WPATH, the World Professional Association for Transgender Health, saying that they “lack scientific integrity”.
I am again, not a medical professional, but I’d say that an organization that had over 120 scientists sign onto its latest Care Standards guidance, that org HAS scientific integrity. Compared to the wrinkled fuckface RFK Jr, and what he’s cooking up at HHS.
And this isn’t the only the only anti trans study being cooked up in the US health departments. Just about a week and a half ago, the publication Nature broke the news that the NIH is being directed to study cases of “regret” of trans people after they transition (even though its near zero), to seemingly give more weight to this study by the HHS.
Not only this, but its also going to draw heavy from the UK’s Cass Review and the Florida Board of Medicine review, two heavily criticized “studies” (for good reason) regarding trans care.
Even though the Cass Review has been slammed by a legion of medicinal orgs the world over, like the Endocrine Society and the American Academy of Pediatrics, as well as Yale, it's still being used to justify gender affirming care bans in the UK.
Anti trans groups are already salivating at the thought of this report, which is scheduled to be released on April 28th, with Genspect, a org which has been categorized by the Southern Poverty Law Center as a hate group, saying that the report will “catalyze a transformation in American healthcare”, with them boasting of lawsuits, insurance companies bailing, and the eventual collapse of gender clinics in the States. Its a bigots wet dream.
This study is yet another example of the wrinkled suntanned walnut RFK’s complete demolition job as HHS secretary. Anyone with half a braincell can see what the administrations goal is. When this “study” drops, not only do we as a community need to stand up to it and meet it with unrelenting truth, but the scientific community needs to as well.
I feel that I’ve been generous calling this a study, since its inspirations, the Cass Review and the Florida Board of Medicine Review, aren’t based in actual science, as is the case with this study. This, along with its successors (I know there are going to be more) are going be used as the basis for a flat out GAC ban in the States.
I’ve brought this up multiple times, but its honestly sickening how heartless these Red Nazis are. They have been presented with study after study showing that gender affirming care works and that the rate of regret is close to zero, but, fueled by their bigotry, they continue to push ever forward to their end goal:
The complete and total eradication of trans people.
Its heartless and sickening. Especially so without a peep from majority of national Democrats. Spineless cowards. Saying that “oh its not politically sustainable to support you”, which is utter bullshit, while trying to still angle support, is just spineless and cowardly.
Please, stand up to the Red Nazis. We as a community essentially depend on you to do it.
Yup, this is going to be bad. I hope everyone has been hoarding their hormones.
