'All the Black people I know...'
'All the Jews I know...'

'All the disabled people I know...'
It always boils down to: 'That *one* person I sort of know didn't feel like fighting with my dumbass just at the moment'

anatomie d’une fruit And of course 'partial social transition' will be used as evidence to delay / deny HRT until 25 as the dysphoria isn't intense enough.

this is deliberate strategic rhetoric in response to some public sympathy for 'sympathetic' trans children (namely those that most resemble cis children) in the context of shutdowns of trans childcare. we must fight said rhetoric immediately and consistently. (14/14)

the calls for 'resilience' throughout the report also hint at this conversion-esque rhetoric: that if children occupy a position where transition feels urgent and desperate, that this is a problem of what they and their parents have enabled them to desire and expect. (13/

this is phrased as safeguarding: the child cannot properly weigh the pros and cons of puberty blockers if they seek them with urgency, they argue. this is not taken as its obvious meaning: that the cons of unwanted puberty for these children are immediate and severe. (12/

more disturbingly, the Cass report interprets the burden as being on trans children to be 'flexible' and compromise their own social transitions in order to be less inconveniently distressed in their dealings with trans-hostile clinicians. (11/

there is no explanation in the report of what distinguishes 'partial' from 'full' social transition in the eyes of Cass or her team. there's a study that also uses the terms which may shed light on that, though i can't get institutional access to it yet. (10/

accordingly, their official recommendation? stealth is the problem; children need to be encouraged to be 'flexible', and thus should be encouraged to only do 'partial social transition' (9/

(the phrasing of this part implies that stealth itself is the cause of said stress, rather than incorrect puberty jeopardising the child's social experience of gendering.) (8/

the multi professional review group (who used to be in charge of adjudicating applications for puberty blockers) also say that stealth causes 'stress and anxiety' for children, including making them socially self-isolate. (7/

well, they first note the relatively obvious observation that said children fear 'being found out' and losing access to friends due to transphobia. they also note that said fear creates 'a sense of urgency' to access puberty blockers. (6/

the cass review has already contributed to a near-total ban on puberty blockers and seeks to heavily restrict hormones for u18s (and essentially ban them for u16s as far as i can tell). so what is their proposal for stealth kids? (5/

accordingly, at puberty, without blockers or hormones, this group risks being outed / losing a lifetime of correct gendering and a social group alongside the base trauma of undergoing an unwanted puberty. (4/

regardless of the flaws of said model, children who have lived as their chosen gender almost their whole lives, to the point that they have had no real reason to disclose transness to their friends, are fulfilling it to the letter. (3/

the 'consistent, insistent, persistent' presentation of gender incongruence is the gold standard within medical establishments for determining which trans children get access to medical interventions / are unlikely to desist before adulthood. (2/

there's a part of the cass report that i want to highlight because it's even more ominous than much of its other content: how the report approaches pre-pubertal trans children who are 'stealth' (i.e. their friends don't know they're trans). (1/
