The Eternal State of Empire of Impiria

Protestant Pope wrote:Honestly based on this Cass review, it could be argued it's better to wait with gender affirming care until the person is over 18.

Findings of the report include;

● "The rationale for early puberty suppression remains unclear, with weak evidence regarding the impact on gender dysphoria, mental or psychosocial health. The effect on cognitive and psychosexual development remains unknown."

● "The use of masculinising / feminising hormones in those under the age of 18 also presents many unknowns, despite their longstanding use in the adult transgender population. The lack of long-term follow-up data on those commencing treatment at an earlier age means we have inadequate information about the range of outcomes for this group."

● "Clinicians are unable to determine with any certainty which children and young people will go on to have an enduring trans identity."

● "For most young people, a medical pathway will not be the best way to manage their gender-related distress. For those young people for whom a medical pathway is clinically indicated, it is not enough to provide this without also addressing wider mental health and/or psychosocially challenging problems."

If any hate comes from these conclusions that's unfortunate, sad and should be dealt with. However this doesn't discredit the Cass Review.

Absolutely right.
