Absolutely this 👇

The #Cass review concludes that for most young people a medical pathway will not be the best way to manage their gender-related distress & that the use of puberty blockers for such children is not safe. NHS Scotland must take heed.

“There are few other areas of healthcare where professionals are so afraid to openly discuss their views, where people are vilified on social media, and where name-calling echoes the worst bullying behaviour. This must stop.” Dr Hilary Cass holyrood.com/news/view,clin…
