A long-awaited review to be published by medical expert Dr Hilary Cass is expected to caution that children who believe they are transgender may have mental health problems, and should not be rushed into changing gender.
The British review comes in the wake of the long-running controversy over the trend towards ‘gender-affirming care’, where children and teenagers are set on a path which presumes that transition – rather than counselling to address mental health issues – is the most appropriate treatment plan.
The Telegraph reported that it understands “the report will find that children who think they are trans disproportionately have mental health issues stemming from a difficult family situation or having suffered from abuse. They are also more likely to be neurodiverse”.
Dr Cass’s final report is expected to conclude that there could be many complex reasons a child may think they are in the wrong gender.
It is believed to advise therapists that children presenting as trans may have had other complex issues such as a difficult family situation, having suffered from abuse, or having been exposed to pornography too early.
The Cass report comes as the NHS has moved to ban children being prescribed puberty blockers unless as part of a clinical trial, and an investigation found that UK schools were allowing children to change gender without informing their parents.
It is expected to advise that children should not be rushed onto a path to change gender, amid concern that some are being allowed to transition in school without their parents’ knowledge or consent.
Now, the Cass report is expected to caution that children should not be rushed onto a gender-altering path or put on drugs, but should instead firstly explore any possible mental health issues through counselling.
An interim report in 2022 from Dr Cass, a paediatrician, found the approach adopted by the Tavistock clinic – which provided services to children with gender dysphoria – was unsafe, that it overlooked other mental health problems in children, failed to collect data on the safety of puberty blockers, and did not subject the treatments administered to children to normal quality controls.
Dr Cass’s interim report also said that children being allowed to socially transition in schools was “not a neutral act”.
Based on the findings of the report, the British NHS announced in July 2022 that Tavistock – which facilitated sex-change therapies for children – would be closed down.
Some 238 young people in Ireland were sent to Tavistock since 2014 according to the HSE. 32 of those children were under 10 years of age, 2 were just five years old.
Yesterday, Downing Street said that the British Government would act on the basis of the Cass report, saying the safety of children and adolescents and their wellbeing was “paramount”.
“That is part of previous work such as the NHS announcement to end the routine prescription of puberty blockers, it is behind our robust and clear guidance to schools. It is categorical that social transitioning is not a neutral act and no one should be forced to use preferred pronouns or accept contested beliefs as fact,” a spokesman for Prime Minister Rishi Sunak said.
“We’ve also said there’s more to do in this area and we will look at the review when it’s published,” he added.
“The Government has taken a number of steps in this area, recognising the effect that social transitioning can have on children and adolescents, and we’ve made clear that single sex spaces must be protected.”
Between 2021-22, the NHS reported more than 5,000 referrals to Tavistock, a rise of 1000% from just under 250 children and adolescents who believed they had gender dysphoria decade earlier.
It’s taken this long for politics and the medical professionals to acknowledge that fact?
Begs the question. Which vested interests or lobby groups are being listened to?
Why?
And at what cost to children and vulnerable young adults?
There is now a serious distrust in the institutions, the experts, the scientists, academia, the MSM, Government. It’s not just this particular issue. You can see it with mass immigration. We know they’re lying, they know we know they’re lying etc. Same goes for the CoVid lies, the lockdowns.
” Which vested interests or lobby groups are being listened to?
Why? ”
Lack of morals, ethics, (brainwashed?) Greed for money. Lack of leadership – no one willing to shout ‘STOP!’ I also believe that moving away from the Church has had an overall impact on stuff like this developing and getting out of hand.
“And at what cost to children and vulnerable young adults?” Well, now we are talking about evil manifesting.

She wrote a piece for the journal https://www.thejournal.ie/readme/conversion-therapy-6089396-Jun2023/ she also has pronouns on her x account, I wrote to her last year with my concerns she didn’t reply.
It does not matter what the science says any more. They don’t care. It’s the genocide and sterilization agenda they care about now.

Why do we need a government report to establish the Truth that everyone knows ie male and female He created them…….
When a young person is muddled, confused or self deluded, it does not mean they must be sick in the mind, having a mental health problem. That is why these should be able to be helped by wise counselling which does not begin with the assumption they have a mental problem. There are many people who learn to deal with depression, failure to cope, anxiety, emotional outbursts, guilt, sleeping problems and the like with no medication.
Often a older caring friend, who is a good listener and so help them – as it were to stand back and look at their problems and come up with their own solutions – is what is needed. Unfortunately this takes time and hence the haste to label these as mental health problems and prescribe medications. We should avoid taking medications unless there is a good reason and link between the medicine and ilness, like an antibiotic prescribed for treatment of a specific bacterial infection.
Everyone sane knew this. People have lost their jobs and been deplatformed and cancelled for saying this. Will the butchers and pedo apologists get punished? Unlikely.
