- How should young people questioning their gender identity be treated by medics? Dr Hilary Cass's long-awaited report is an attempt to separate that question from the often toxic debate that surrounds it.

Her recommendations of better research, the standardisation of treatment, a more holistic approach, were welcomed in many quarters.
But what does it actually mean for young trans people and their families?

Less tiktok, less instagram, less propaganda, more actual mental care and help for young people.
And when mental healthcare isn't enough, let them go further to find the relief they absolutely need.
Not until they are adults capable of making the permanent irreversable decisions that will effect their bodies and render them infertile.
And better parenting! These children are not the only ones making these decisions.
@r-platt - there’s no evidence for this type of “healthcare”. Leave kids alone.
@@Jenny-nz8fb Other than 103 studies and 27 years of empirical evidence you are absolutely correct.
Trans kids exist. Stop pretending forcing them through normal puberty does no harm.
Not ideology on all side. Completely untrue. One side wanted discussion , research etc. the other threatened their jobs.
100%
How do you double blind hormones?
So true. Gender dysphoria isn't an ideology. The diagnosis and treatment aren't ideologies. They're part of an *extremely effective* evidence-based treatment protocol that's been under development for 70 years.
2% regret PROVES the vast majority are being helped.
@@AarenbyClearly you’re not a physician or scientist. Research the Scientific Method. You should have learned about it in grade school.
@@r-plattThat’s NOT how evidence works. I fondly recall when the uneducated in various subjects didn’t feign expertise by tossing about online anecdotes.

And it starts in schools. The schools nudge the students in that direction. I asked my sons school to show me the 'personal development material that they are teaching him. They sent me a link to the youtube playlist by AMAZE. It is shocking but explains the explosion of transgender children. It's basically grooming.
@@tauenjoyer305Maybe you should actually read the review.
@@FiredUpFeminist the Cass report you mean?
We've been telling you for years, but you called us phobic and heinous. Puberty blockers are not a harmless pause, but very powerful drugs with unknown long-term effects.
Sorry but that isn't what the report says, It says there was no evidence it improved the quality of life of the patient when taking them, She also said there was no evidence of potential harms , So what your saying is not factually true because there is no studies that show puberty do cause harm, that what it says in the report, she dismissed 50 studies showing it did help with quality of life, But they are doing a study now , so some children who partake in that study and will get puberty blockers.

Gay kids aren’t sick. Lesbians exist. Men can wear dresses and bad wigs….. but no child was ever or will ever be born in the wrong body.
I think that Channel 4's pathetic wokeness has prevented from them dealing with this properly.
All woke will fail sooner or later. People can't deal with obvious SICK.
They're not the only channel doing that! We're being brainwashed by TV / Media in general.
The private clinic is the same people who were treating the children in the NHS clinics responsible for this scandal!!!!!! Are they really the right people to be running a clinic licensed to treat children.
Of course they're not! He's continuing the grift til the very end, what a demon 🤑
Listening to this Dr. I would say that nothing has really changed and they will continue to promote the cult. Total denial. These are crimes against children and should be seen as such.
Scandal? You're having a laugh right? No one with a functioning brain says that and means it
Of all the terrible things that have happened throughout history im actually embarrassed in the current day and age with the amount of technology and information we have that we took all of this and just became ignorant. I can argue or understand just about any general topic in good faith. This is pretty much the only singular specific topic where I will judge a person's character and intelligence immediately based in their views on this
Argue or understand 😂
You should judge a person's character equally on whether they speak up to end the genocide in Gaza, and the 15000 children who were blown up. Otherwise you only care about Western children
I can see why
Yep, everyone thinks they are doctors nowadays
It was the clinicians that wanted to continue with lobotomies and public pressure that ended them. I sick of people putting all their faith in the so called professionals and dismissing public concern.
Psychiatrists had concerns about lobotomy since the 40s.
Next time you need cancer treatment, don’t see an oncologist expert - go to google and find yourself a healer. No? 🤔

Truth.
To be fair everything you listed includes life altering chemicals (or near permanent body modification in case of tattoos). And we know those substances to be dangerous regardless of age. The case of gender affirming care is the opposite. It improves quality of life in adults and it can improve quality of life in many adolescent patients.

Discredited by who?

Ps, Channel 4, LEAVE THE KIDS ALONE.
Remember: children cannot consent.
Kids who are known for poor decision making skills now won't be able to make drastic changes that will affect them for the rest of their lives? Good.
Only the most drastic of gender affirming care is permanent. Puberty blockers and hormone treatments are reversible, social transitioning is obviously reversible, it's literally just a hair cut and change of codes, vocal chord surgeries aren't really useful for kids whose voices are changing regardless. You're more likely to regret a tattoo than gender affirming care, and that's a statistical fact.

Small step up from "assigned at birth" I guess.
@@tommj5201 nah, it is equally false and misleading for kids - just st00pi’d
Sad to reflect that the only winners in this are going to be the lawyers.
And all the gender confused kids that will not be delivered to these appalling activists. Many will be saved from terrible life changing experiments, and left to simply grow out of their confused phase as we know the vast majority do.
But if it was wrong treatment, wrong schooling, wrong parental advice, wrongful use for far reaching celebrity platforms or influencers. Then that should carry with it damages.
Some detransitioners have had their lives ruined by this. I mean no more sexual pleasure, urinary tract infections, constant pain, impossible to very difficult to now find a life partner in light of the above and potential infertility, or now only very expensive methods to now have their own children.
Theres been a lot of bad advice and damage done, its been irresponsible and it should carry with it damages.
If theres no punative fines to pay. Then theres no deterent of it ever happening again. So yeah I think people sewing this bad advice should never be allowed to work in healthcare in any capacity, because they really were not working in the best interests of their patients.
Does Channel 4 want to take any responsibility for the damage caused to young children by this quack 'science', as the channel has often acted as a propaganda outlet for trans activism, and has often enabled and contributed to the smearing of those critical as 'transphobic'.
Do you feel any guilt at all?
So we need to stop treating central precocious puberty. That's puberty blockers in use since 1980.
And we need to stop giving TEEN girls breast augmentation / reduction and rhinoplasty (nose surgery) and TEEN boys mastectomies. Those surgeries _literally_ occur about 100,000 times more often than trans surgeries. And all they require is 1 parent to agree.
And we need to stop giving girls birth control pills until they're 18.
Gee... there is so much medicine we need to unwind to meet your goals.
there has been a less than 2% regret rate on transition, whats your issue exactly? do tell me did you ever talk to a trans person or try to understand them?
@@felixthecatboy over 80% of people grow out of this nonsense just by going through puberty.
The child saying that they were going through puberty and were distressed and had no one to talk to.....why didnt the mother talk to her biological daughter and help her understand puberty and her bodies changes. What happened to parenting?
Because her "biological daughter" was actually her son, and what makes you think she didn't help HIM understand puberty?
Social media has captured sheepish people on a global scale. It's incredible anyone is still trying to push this. I think a lot of it is doubling down on a bad idea because they probably can't cope with their part in the mutilation of their child.

The child-modification industry is pivoting towards a private healthcare model, where they will be able to monetize the trauma of children with less public scrutiny. Lots of money to be made in this growing industry preying on vulnerable people.
Oh, thank goodness there's a way for some to get around this nightmare.
This horrible "report" has kicked the trans genocide to the next level.
The only thing keeping us alive is Israel being top story.
even in public its monetized. they still have to buy the medicine from pharma companies
True. For every child sent down this pathway they are worth one million dollars. Medicalising children for LIFE is big business, however, it's the children who will ultimately pay with their mental and physical health.

INSANITY
All this talk of losing the "expertise" of those with years working with trans children misses the fact that these distressed children need clinicians who will first see them as individual human beings, not trans avatars born in the wrong body. A bunch of idealogues working in medicine became SO CERTAIN of one insufficiently-tested protocol which centered around an insufficiently defined or evidenced concept, gender, and another suspect theory coming out of Psychology (which has a long history of pathologizing natural human variation), so that they were unable to recognize an entirely new cohort of mentally distressed children, which differ from the earlier group in very important and varied ways.
There's a great deal of expertise and evidence. Cass decided only very specific studies qualified.
People might have been fleeing Tavistock because they had thousands of patients but only the capacity for a few dozen.
It's amazing how Cass can say there's not enough evidence to support use of puberty blockers yet concludes it's harmful. And their reasons have _nothing_ to do with effectiveness or safety.
@@r-plattshe hadn’t concluded them harmful. She’s concluded that they are untested and the evidence to say they are helpful is not solid nor sufficient to prove the case.
@@ApacheMagic Actually puberty blockers ARE tested and safe for children. Her issue is the tests were for a different condition. (14.6)
That's like saying Tylenol is unsafe for an aching broken arm because it wasn't tested for that condition.
Poor kids have no idea that it's only cosmetic and that by messing with their body chemistry, they preventing it from growing and being stable as they age. Leads to horrible health problems, brittle bones and a broken body and mind.
Cool opinion. However, over here in reality, absolutely nothing you just said is meaningfully substantiated by evidence.
@@THB192Ironic that you used the word “reality.” That’s what trans people preach against. 😂

@@THB192 Yeah. Over hear in reality trans is just an identity, a mask if you will. Trans man is just a woman impersonating a man. That's just as real as it gets.
@@tommj5201 Which 4 year independent review said any of those things, exactly? Because if you're talking about the Cass review, heads up, it didn't.
An adult professional affirming a child's concern that they are 'born in the wrong body' is committing an act of evil.
So you want them to stay in the closet... where it's cold, dark, lonely, and terrifying. You want to keep them in a place where joy and hope die.
And that's good?

Take a look at the cass report before sperging out and typing in all cap, it makes you look unstable.
The child needs a therapist for their mental health, not hormones. If she still suffer from gender dysphoria at 18, she can transition in a couple of years.
They need a two parent family for a start.
@@frankiedsp I can give you some very good advice right now, you're a young vulnerable person so you need to stay clear of the comments section.

@@r-platt 🤣🤦♀
@@Borella309 We? GnRHa are used in numerous medical treatments FAR more profitable than a tiny handful of trans children.
NOT using puberty blockers results in MORE surgeries and MORE dependence on drugs like antidepressants and anti-anxiety meds.
C4 deliberately missing the point of the cass report
💯 we're going to see a lot of this. Those that yelled bigot and ran with an ideology instead of checking the facts.
C4 and too many at the BBC are primary offenders. To talk of toxic debate is ridiculous
Agenda
From the website of Dr Aidan Kelly and his private clinic, their team consists mostly of clinical psychologist, and only one psychiatrist. There is no paediatrician ,endocrinologist or surgeon to safeguard the children's physical health. Who will be responsible for explaining and follow up the side effects of the medications or surgery?
The Cass review was so needed, i absolutely hope that we can get on top of this social contagion. The medical experiments on kids have shown what they are and what they do, we need to get this back in check
The Cass Review was the first big step in standing up to ideological activists. This is important because it also gives laypeople something to point to when questioning ideology without having to feel like a bigot. And that is essentially the crux of the issue-people scared they’ll be called a bigot if they say that this doesn’t sound right to them.
I don’t feel sorry for the children but the parents some of them don’t even understand the whole process. I’m gay myself from a Muslim background and I never came out I’m still in the closet. I’m in the closet because I love my mum and I don’t want her to go insane she is deeply religious and I know how she feels about homosexuality she will probably loose friends things will never be the same for her I would rather stay in the closet so my mum can have a functioning life rather then going insane and when I tell you I’m happy I really mean it because I’m ready to sacrifice for the person I love. We don’t let children buy cigarettes alcohol how can we allow them to decide about their gender at such young age.
You sound like a very beautiful person. I hope one day you can openly be the person you really are.
I'm really sorry you have to hide who you love - I'm sure I already know the answer but....would it have solved your problems if your parents were told you were a girl? Trapped in a male body? Have your genitals removed and pretended to be a straight female?
Because I've heard that is exactly what is happening in strictly religious countries - the ultimate homophobic conversion therapy 😭
im sorry you have to life that way, and im even more sorry your mom cant love you for who you really are.
Because gender issues can make them hurt themselves. Not being able to buy alcohol or cigarettes doesn’t make them do that.
You are very intelligent, mature and brave.

@@LukeMovement1I’m autistic and asked for puberty blockers when I was 11 and I’m glad I didn’t get them because I didn’t deserve to be sterilized
No child should be given puberty blockers, they should be counselled and make decisions on their bodies when they are old enough to make informed decide as adults.
just because you want children to be your property, they are not. they are human beings with minds of their own.
@@felixthecatboychildren cannot consent to being sterilised and if you think they are, you are either a child or predator
In contrast, Dr David Bell presents a more thoughtful response eg the role of the unchecked 'affirmation' as a Human Rights directive absent of any clinical consideration - children self diagnosing and Doctors handing out hormone blockers like sweets or candy.
Bell took issue with Tavistock "fast tracking" some children. They weren't following the rules and that WAS a problem.
Nothing Bell said changes the effectiveness or safety of puberty blockers.
Meanwhile EVERYONE agrees these children (even those that desist) need of help.
But England is going _backward_ in care.
Leave children alone
Watch the people who were too cowardly to speak out when it wasn't socially safe, come out the woodwork pretending to care
Yes, the ' benefit of the doubt' will only be extended for so long.
the reality is everyone thinks they would speak up but this shows you that isn't true in reality, we can all be brave when anonymous on UA-cam but when you are the only person in a workplace where dissent is career suicide the more likely outcome is you would be just as cowardly, let's not pretend you wouldn't, these are not evil people they were either wrapped up in an ideology or they were scared
@gruunt4064 nah mate, I've been against this from the start and I've used my social media profiles with my full name and ugly face in full view 😂 I've got bills to pat too. When it comes to things like this I'll argue with the entire world if I believe its right. We're talking about innocent children.
@@phily8716I agree.
One thing the Cass Review has proven is that we should stop referring to these kids as 'trans', use 'gender questioning' maybe. A 14 yo 'trans' kid may change their mind in 6 months if left alone medically and psychologically. Counseling is fine but not counseling that only 'affirms.' As this scandal is studied in coming years, we'll likely see that the manipulation of language and meaning had a lot to do with it.
This movement has appropriated the 'conversion therapy' issue from the LGB movement. Changing the meaning and weaponizing it to go after any dissenters.
This man worked for Tavistock. You should not have him on the media. Oh, wait, you are C4!
Hamas 4 has its agenda to transmit into the human psyche.

It’s a psy-op….
I think this issue could have been far less controversial if we'd heard from more informed, sensible and reasonable voices like Dr Bell's in recent years instead of the 'lived experience' of patients and the ideological posturing of trans activists.
Sorry, I'm confused as to why you don't want to hear about the transgender issue from transgender people? To me the most sensible way to learn about a group is to speak to people from that group.
@@jtownblues7237 the patients’ experience is for the medical professionals to hear and deal with as far as I’m concerned; I’m more interested in hearing the views of the experts who can share data, their professional insights and provide an overall picture of the issue and its implications.

@@errin-mp1zy Sorry I don't understand your question, a female doctor as in a doctor who is a woman (therefore obviously an adult and a human).

Time for adults to stop pandering to distressed children! They will never become functioning adults without boundaries & proper support 😮
What about this mother verbally nudging her daughter in the interview saying essentially "Don't forget to mention your "mental health" issues". Have now seen far too many interviews where its the confused teen and MOTHER talking about this.
It's not confusion. It's knowing who you are in person is radically different from how you look.
*The conflict* between self perception and obvious biology is what causes gender dysphoria.
Either we rewire the brain to change their personality (impossible) or we reshape their body to reflect their person.
Parents are listening to their children. _Children_ are the ones saying *SOMETHING IS WRONG.*
You need to listen to the children, not the people politicians parade in front of you.
Where's dad?
@@sarahharris2729 they're often told to shut up (if they're around at all). In the USA, a father was sued to not wanting to affirm his child's chosen gender, I think the kid was very young, like 5 or something. Father said no, and the mother took him to court and he was forced to shut-up and just affirm it. Look it up and you'll see.
Well they have been let down gently... compared to all the people that have actual medical problems and life threatening conditions, who get appointments and treatments cancelled last minute.
Dr Bell, a clear and sane voice. Of course, he was ignored.
This girl says that speaking to someone wouldve helped but what she means is someone who wouldve affirmed her. They have an expectation of what they want from medical professionals and if they dont get it from one they move on to look for one that will give them what they want.
Her and her mother likely wouldve not accepted help or advice from a doctor who said "Im not sure you are trans, I think maybe your autism/body dysmorphia/past trauma/whatever else is the cause of your distress. Lets explore that." They probably wouldve called them 'transphobic' or reported them for being 'non affirming.'
This is a huge issue I saw in my brief time working in CAMHS, particularly in girls with ASD. So many had their anxiety around puberty combined with their ASD interpreted by their parents as body dysmorphia and then nothing else mattered

So it needs appropriate medical treatment. Not politically driven scaremongering and scapegoating. Just science please. Of the 2.7 percent that regret transition, the vast majority say its because of social and familial rejection and not due to them making a mistake about their brains gender.
Badly let down by all the so called Adults around them.
I am in America. I was given a thorough medical exam, x-rays, and was given a laundry list of potential complications and solutions for simply having a pair of impacted wisdom teeth pulled. The dentist did not simply take my word for it. The fact that a child can walk into a doctor’s office and get life altering drugs just because they say they feel they are the opposite gender baffles me.
Crazy. The industry is ran by activists trying to help their cause, not the patient.
fr if that was the case when i was a tomboy as a preteen that cared more about playing video games instead of shopping and dating boys in highschool i wouldve already been on T and everything. Im gonna assume this is the new generation version of getting kids hooked on ritalin. only people benefiting from polluting the population with this gender garbage is big pharma.
Except it doesn't work that way. In countries that do provide gender affirming care, there are multiple visits to multiple care providers (general practitioner, therapist, child psychologist and social worker before it's determined medical is prescribed. In my country it takes years to get top surgery and double digit appointments to get your first prescription. No below the belt surgeries are performed on children.
NOWHERE are children being prescribed drugs and having their genatalia altered because they said one time - "I don't want to be a boy".
@@birdamatic2691 When therapists, child psychologists, and social workers all take the stance to affirm the child, it is all based in the child’s words. Lots of nurses and doctors have come forward and stated to even question the situation would result in lost jobs.
@@Behinddarkness86 you are right, it's based on the child's words. But those words are not just "I'm sad", "I don't want to be x gender", "I think I'm trans". There are clinical responses that are looked for and consistent, persistent and insistent behaviors that demonstrate the child isn't "just going through a phase". It's a collective of all the responses and all the results from a group of medical practitioners. Anyone that thinks it's a single visit to a Dr and you walk out with puberty blockers, hormones and a surgery date is uninformed on this matter.
As a kid you'd hear about people that hated their skin colour and would try to bleach themselves. I didn't see much difference between that and gender affirming care. It's crazy that it's encouraged now.
Absolutely, I would have been called "transracial", had my white racial identity affirmed, and given nose jobs and skin bleach and hair bleach and contact lenses to affirm my race identity at the age of 8, because I wanted to identify with Ariel the mermaid and not the weird racist caricature Jasmine. Rather than being allowed to grow up and realise it was internalised racism all along, that it's society that needs changing and not me.
How sick telling kids stuff like this, Love the body your in, these people telling kids their in the wrong body are sick!
Nobody tells them they know.

as a foreigner I am very surprise to see the U.K. health care system in such shambles . It looks third world . This is sad for a country of first world status . I hope the issues get fix soon.
This issue is a problem the world over.

@@iv6872 The main issue has been the privatisation of it.
@@drunkenhobo5039 you mean the lack of a free market.
@@iv6872 Lol, you're one of those.
This child is a very good example of the type of child who needs mental health therapy and time not drugs and surgery. The mother is clearly desperate to help his child and has bought into the idea of trans medicine because she wants to believe there’s a simple and sure cure for this.
It has become toxic issue because people have now seen what garbage has happened in the country. They are children - stop harming them by thinking affirming a delliousion is a treatment
why let over 99 percent of trans suffer because of less than one percent
kids can't consent to this
the design of the study giving 1% detransitioning is at fault. It does not include all patients and those defaulted follow up are not counted.
I have alot of sympathy for those with issues who were corralled into the trans/identity ideology with irreversible damage. So messed up.
But no sympathy for the 99% who lead better lives after?
@@vixenfireok, so "most people are successful"..and i take it that you mean transition and not "translation".
Respectfully, you can't actually make that claim in good faith. Where are you plucking "most people" from, where are getting your figures? And "successful" means what?
@@JackFury incorrect, read my post with your eyes and then use your brain again.
I'm talking about misdiagnosis and negligence from trusted healthcare providers.
@@vixenfire why don't you address my questions. I'm not interested in your story.
@@user-ql5hu1nl5dless than 1% regret their transition.
So again do you not care about the more than 99% that live better lives due to trans healthcare.

Not being A isn’t B. It’s lack of A … being atypical M or F is a huge part of what needs to be accepted by young people. So much social pressure to be typically M or F, … so many perfect ultra feminine girls and super cut boys and “alpha men” on social media…. this is all acted out in the school social arena where kids are brutal and unkind to those who “aren’t conforming to typical social standards”…. autistic kids are especially sensitive to social non conformity anxiety, this is contributing to children especially ASD kids believing bec they aren’t gender typical they must be the opposite gender when all it is is atypical presentations of their actual gender. It’s also a social conformity game and an adopted self assigned disability with protections for those in the “unique category” affording them legal protection under the wing of extreme activism. It’s a mental
Health issue with its roots in trauma responses to be being often neurodiverse and / or the victim of childhood trauma.
They used tosay that about gay folk. They changed their mind. They will about this too in time
There is no medical evidence that suggests being lgbt is a result of childhood trauma. Psychology has moved on
@@mariannehavisham8323I hope not because if they carry on on this path there’ll be a complete genocide of all gay people! These people require dignity and proper support through the correct holistic medical pathways created and executed in the same way all medical pathways are enacted according to the Hippocratic oath, before any kind of pharmaceutical or surgical intervention when and only when they’re able to fully consent as adults.

@@mariannehavisham8323 Exactly. 10 or 15 years down the line these "transphobes" will realise the damage they caused years ago by trying to restrict healthcare.

@@WilliamAhlertI know a girl who used to think she was a dog could you imagine her life if it was encouraged. You can't change your gender it's only cosmetic. Your body is defined by your DNA anything else is just cosmetic or a belief, like a religion.
@@davebull9600 It hasn't been a mental issue since 2018. It was classified as a mental health condition before that. But that was changed. Why are you either living in the past or spreading misinformation?

This obsession with puberty blockers and hormones is crazy. "Do you have puberty blockers or hormones? Will you be giving them to kid? How can kids get puberty blockers and hormones? Where can we get puberty blockers and hormones? Who has them? Where can we get them?"
No person under the age of 18 should have ANY medical intervention to transition. It is child abuse. When these kids turn 18, then they can choose for themselves.
Yeah! Parents don't have rights. You get to decide what's best for everyone else, regardless of truth or reality.
Even as adults, injecting hormones and mutilating their healthy bodies is the path to a liftetime of health issues.
@@ijansk Whereas failing to take hormones ends in insanity or being unalive.
Of course cis women have been taking hormones ("the pill") for a long time. The side effects are very well known.
But don't let the facts stop you.
@@ijansk thats just false, educate urself before spreading bs.
some have seriously got some thing going wrong with them upstairs..
And yet the response has been overwhelmingly: "cope."
While the trans community has been _begging_ for more support.
A lot of parents have a lot to answer for.
They are often persuaded or guilt-tripped into it by the so-called professionals, they are told stuff like "if you don't affirm your child's chosen gender, you'll have a dead child to suicide". They are literally told this in most cases. Some parents are told there is no choice....
Channel 4 has been complicit in all the genderbollocks, throwing away journalistic curiosity in favour of trans propaganda. A real disgrace.
Why isn't this mother consulting with a regular psychiatrist to treat the emotional turmoil this child has about the body?
The child is sick because the mother's sick.

@@cyberneticcultureresearchu426 the level of the discourse is quite something to behold.
When I recently got a puppy, my vet said that the latest research said that early spaying and neutering causes problems with bones and joints. Now I'm wondering if people are so different.
I'm gay and just want to remind everyone that there is NO SUCH THING as a gay or trans child. Though statistically rare, there will be some children who MAY grow up to be gay or trans but acting on either should only be done as an adult. I know some people will say "I knew when I was a child" but "knowing" doesn't mean "doing" - kids don't need a "sexual orientation" and they certainly don't need to be medicalized to "affirm" something they feel.
You are clearly barking mad. Children have a developing sexuality through puberty and plenty are gay. Being gay has nothing to do with medicalisation.
Great to be finally leaving this gender lunacy behind. How did people go along with it for so long?
Autogynephiles are rich powerful heterosexual men. Look up the article "Who Are the Rich, White Men Institutionalizing Transgender Ideology?" by Jennifer Bilek.
My brain fully developed when I reached 28. In my teens I made stupid decisions.
Ah yes all those teenagers queuing out the door to become political fodder, the target of rising harassment, assault and murder, and making drastic changes to their bodies. Exactly the same as when you had two smirnoff ice's at archibald's 15th. Of course
Good for you. Has no relevance to the story
@malcolmmackenzie-xy7ts😂😂
Why don't you then come to the US and advocate that no one under that age is ever subjected to Selective Service? No one ever makes that argument.
As if private practices are better and the argument of being in line with the NHS ans Cass makes the practice better equiped to deal with children.
The NHS shouldn't be paying for this.
Some should be, but 90% is a form of insanity from the Left.
Why is C4 pushing the side of feelings over facts? smh
Because your facts are meaningless. You want to diagnose a MENTAL problem by looking at biology. That's like diagnosing your car's engine trouble by looking at your dashboard.
When feelings cripple a person, they matter a great deal.
Since we cannot rewire a person's brain that leaves altering the body.
And the regret rate for such treatment is only 2%. That's extremely low.
I genuinely don't care how you want to identify. But this should not be paid for by the taxpayer or on NHS time.
Poor Frankie has got mental problems
Apparently I'm a right wing nut for speaking out against child abuse
My cousin transitioned to a woman, after 2 years of treatment realised it wasnt what he wanted. Now his body is ruined for life
The 2022 USTS , quoting a 2% detransition rate, was not a scientific study by medical institution. It was an anonymous voluntary online survey held within 48 days. It was publicized as “for binary and nonbinary transgender people aged 16 and older residing in the United States”.
1) the design of the study was not to find out the rate of de-transitioning and using statistical method to find the confidence interval. The anonymous participants with no confirmation of identity made the survey results unconvincing in supporting a policy.
2) those who were not active or doubting their choice or loss to follow up may not catch the short time window of survey or even not attempt to answer. So there might be patient selection bias in the design.
3) there was no mention on the duration of follow up after transition. Usually regret rate will increase with increasing duration of follow up
4) There was no subgroup analysis on children undergoing transition. Those undergoing transition in late adulthood due to the long queues should have gone through more thorough consideration and be less likely to regret. The childen’s figures will be likely to be different, which is the most important subjects of interest to the general population now .
Bunch of weirdos now .
Sad he is obsessed with this. Thinks it’s going to ‘ fix everything’. Waste of his childhood. He is lucky he didn’t get in. Needs distraction and something else to focus on.
She should live her life and not see this clinic as the solution to her obvious mental health problems
How did it get like this in the first place? Who promoted or allowed this?
Dr John Money. Look him up
It because the reason for existence of Stonewall and Mermaids and paid their salaries.
As Judy mentioned, the story around John Money is a disturbingly eye-opening start.
It was allowed to get this far due to mainstream media promoting the ideology, and running smears and character assassinations on anyone trying to draw attention to its darker side.
It's worth looking a little deeper into anything that corporate media claims to be supported by the far right, or is a "far right conspiracy theory" - that's where the 'bodies are buried'.
7:56. “But you are doing puberty blockers for people over 16 (people already past puberty who couldn’t possibly benefit from them.)”
Why did channel 4 close the conversation with Dr Aidan Kelly before Dr David Bell got the opportunity to respond to what he said ?
I can only speculate that is was because of their own stance which shows how they themselves participate in the unwillingness to have a adult conversation about it by not letting the two doctor’s respond however briefly that would’ve been at times. Which was also something that was brought up by this report
No one under the age 19 should identify under "trans" and be on the medication. 21 years of age is my say.
no one under the age of 25
At 18 they can vote, serve in the army, but not have a medical problem ... ?
@@davidioanhedges All these aren't the same thing.

@@JustSway In what way, an 18 old can make any choice about themselves , their future, in every way .... except according to you, this one ... why only this?
Any and all forms of 'treatment' should be completely off the table for anyone under the age of 18. The fact its even being considered is totally absurd.
We all know how impressionable kids can be. Thinking theyre in a position to be making such serious decisions, which many will grow to regret, is beyond crazy. Any parent who thinks its a good idea to let their teenager get involved in any of this should he ashamed of themselves.
@@vixenfire I'm well aware of gender dysphoria, doesn't change my position.
@@vixenfire I never claimed I was. I have no problem with adults transitioning, if that's what they feel like they need to do then go ahead. The idea that we would mess with the development and health of children who's brains aren't even fully developed is another level of ridiculous. Children can barely keep their own ideas consistent, there is no way they can be trusted to make a serious decision like changing their gender during puberty.
Most of these kids will grow out of it, they're mostly influenced by what they're seeing online and they're desperate to try and carve out their own identity. If they don't grow out of it by the time they're 18 and they believe transitioning is for them then go ahead, but not a moment before.
The fact that you would push for such serious options to be open to children says a great deal about your own ignorance.
