| Sanity Restored: Following Cass Review, Britain's National Health Service to Test 'Trans' Kids for Autism |
| 2025-05-04 |
| [Twitchy] The British National Health Service has been dialing back the 'gender-affirming' insanity when it comes to kids, after several studies and reports showed things like puberty blockers do more harm than good. Opponents of 'transitioning' kids have fought for years to stop the nonsense because of the harm done, and because a lot of supposed 'trans' kids are actually autistic and not experiencing 'gender dysphoria.' So it's good that the NHS is recognizing this and testing accordingly:
Here's more from the Telegraph: The NHS will test all children who believe they are transgender for autism under new plans seen by The Telegraph. Every child referred to a gender clinic will be 'screened for neurodevelopmental conditions' such as autism and ADHD under new guidance, to be introduced in the wake of the Cass review. The review, by paediatrician Baroness Cass, found that the mental health conditions were disproportionately common among children and young people with gender dysphoria. Medics will also evaluate each child’s mental health, their relationship with their family and their sexual development, including whether they are experiencing same-sex attraction. As part of a proposal to incorporate Lady Cass’s recommendations, the health service will move away from the 'medical model' operated by the controversial Tavistock’s Gender Identity Development Service in favour of a 'holistic' approach. This is good. Will American health care follow suit? |
