Summary
For years, those who have sounded the alarm over the dangers of gender-affirming paediatric treatment have been monstered as bigots, hateful, transphobic, and even fascist. Now their concerns have been vindicated by the Cass Review, and those most responsible for the monstering are already attempting to wriggle their way out of accepting responsibility.

Broadway's smash hit, The Neil Diamond Musical, A Beautiful Noise, is coming to Toronto.
00:00:36.860
The true story of a kid from Brooklyn destined for something more, featuring all the songs you love,
00:00:42.120
including America, Forever in Blue Jeans, and Sweet Caroline.
00:00:46.120
Like Jersey Boys and Beautiful, the next musical mega hit is here, The Neil Diamond Musical, A Beautiful Noise.
00:00:52.980
April 28th through June 7th, 2026, the Princess of Wales Theatre.
00:01:03.000
For years now, those who have sounded the alarm over the dangers of gender-affirming paediatric treatment
00:01:08.420
have been monstered as bigots, hateful, transphobic, and even fascist.
00:01:14.120
Now their concerns have been entirely vindicated by the Cass Review,
00:01:17.640
and those most responsible for the monstering are already attempting to wriggle their way
00:01:24.100
We can expect much more of this as further revelations come to light.
00:01:28.000
Take Stonewall, the charity most culpable for spreading this toxic ideology.
00:01:33.020
In a statement posted recently on X, it appeared to endorse the review's findings,
00:01:38.260
even quoting approvingly Dr. Hilary Cass's plea to remember the children and young people
00:01:43.200
trying to live their lives, and the families, carers, and clinicians doing their best to support them.
00:01:48.600
What can one say about such serpentine sleight of tongue?
00:01:51.800
Perhaps the actor James Dreyfuss, one who has felt the full brunt of the wrath of gender ideologues,
00:02:02.520
Mermaid's CEO Laurence Stoner is another in the running for the Brass Neck Award,
00:02:13.920
Mermaid's made the same claim in the tribunal it initiated,
00:02:16.980
in a failed attempt to strip LGB Alliance of its charitable status.
00:02:20.580
And yet in leaked emails, it was discovered to have given advice
00:02:23.980
to the now disgraced Gender Identity Development Service, JIDS, at the Tavistock Clinic.
00:02:29.680
Most notably, Mermaid's had offered support in the drafting of an NHS service specification.
00:02:34.540
And Mermaid's website currently claims that puberty blockers are an internationally recognised,
00:02:42.820
even though there is mounting evidence of the dangers of these drugs.
00:02:46.520
One of the findings of the Cass Review is that there is no evidence for the efficacy of puberty blockers.
00:02:51.800
Rather than being a pause in which young people can take time to figure out their gender identity,
00:02:57.140
in almost all cases, they lead on to cross-sex hormones and, in some cases, irreversible surgery.
00:03:03.380
During Stoner's interview for Sky News, she was also quick to remind us that Mermaid's has been
00:03:08.580
supporting trans young people and their families for nearly 30 years.
00:03:13.600
What she neglected to mention is that until the arrival of former CEO Susie Green,
00:03:18.700
a woman who took her son to Thailand on his 16th birthday to have him castrated,
00:03:23.900
Mermaid's actually offered sensible advice to parents of children who were struggling with their gender.
00:03:28.800
A leaflet produced by the charity in the year 2000 is more in line with the watchful waiting approach
00:03:38.680
Gender identity disorders in infancy, childhood and adolescence are complex and have varied causes.
00:03:45.060
In the majority of cases, the eventual outcome will be homosexuality or bisexuality,
00:03:50.080
but often there will be a heterosexual outcome,
00:03:52.460
as some gender issues can be caused by a bereavement,
00:03:55.560
a dysfunctional family life or, rarely, by abuse.
00:03:59.580
Only a small proportion of cases will result in a transsexual outcome.
00:04:03.440
That even Mermaids once held this position shows the extent to which gender identity ideology
00:04:09.420
drives well-intentioned people away from the truth,
00:04:13.100
and a reminder that this belief system has taken hold remarkably quickly.
00:04:16.980
Both Mermaids and Stonewall were mentioned by Tavistock whistleblower Dr. David Bell
00:04:21.560
as being chiefly to blame for the current climate of making people afraid of even listening to another view.
00:04:27.320
To this we might add groups such as Gendered Intelligence,
00:04:35.200
which has published defamatory pieces about those who have objected to the rise of this ideology.
00:04:40.360
The irreversible surgical malpractice that has left many young people sterile
00:04:44.060
and eliminated their sexual function can be put down to the intimidation
00:04:47.920
that has been stoked by groups who claim to advocate for LGBT rights.
00:04:52.220
And what are the private practices, those who evaded the NHS's recent ban on puberty blockers?
00:04:59.060
Of course there are financial and ideological incentives for these groups to dismiss the CAS review,
00:05:04.180
and so we shouldn't be surprised that Dr. Aidan Kelly from private clinic Gender Plus
00:05:08.800
appeared on Novara Media to argue that the evidence demanded by CAS
00:05:15.920
Host Michael Walker seemed to think that the figure of approximately 1,000 patients in 10 years
00:05:21.140
prescribed puberty blockers was too low to merit concern,
00:05:25.720
and that some of these issues have been politicized in a way that they don't need to be.
00:05:30.500
One wonders how many instances of testicular atrophy, increased risk of cancer, osteoporosis,
00:05:36.340
or impaired brain development in healthy children should be considered acceptable.
00:05:41.680
Why are we even countenancing ruining young people's lives
00:05:44.400
through the unevidenced experimental and ideological medicalization of problems
00:05:48.780
that almost certainly require a psychotherapeutic approach?
00:05:52.500
Novara Media might want to start preparing its own excuses too,
00:05:56.000
given that it published an article in December 2021 offering advice
00:05:59.640
on how to deceive medical professionals in order to be prescribed opposite-sex hormones.
00:06:05.520
I'm not suggesting you tell any especially big fibs, the article says,
00:06:09.500
but maybe finesse your story into one that's likely to be received
00:06:15.280
And bear that in mind with the psychiatrist too.
00:06:18.420
You're not here to make friends, you're here to get hormones.
00:06:24.400
Dr Hilary Cass has revealed to the British Medical Journal
00:06:27.000
that children have been coached on what to say and what not to say
00:06:34.580
They're told not to say they're unsure about their sexuality,
00:06:39.260
because it's so high stakes at that point, she said.
00:06:41.860
We have known for a long time that the overwhelming majority of children
00:06:45.240
referred to the Tavistock were same-sex attracted
00:06:47.680
and that gender non-conformity in youth is a reliable predictor of homosexuality in later life.
00:06:52.760
This has been confirmed in the final report by Dr Cass,
00:06:55.500
which found that 89% of girls and 81% of boys referred to JIDS
00:07:02.800
The NHS has been practising gay conversion therapy in plain sight.
00:07:09.080
are disproportionately represented among the patients.
00:07:14.260
shows that one in five children referred to gender services
00:07:20.180
In other words, rather than experiencing some kind of esoteric mismatch
00:07:29.540
And yet they're being coached to lie about their actual problems
00:07:39.560
And if a few children have to suffer, then so be it.
00:07:44.000
the lack of evidence for all of these treatments is continually emphasised.
00:07:49.200
is underpinned by the belief that we each have a gender identity,
00:07:57.540
In this, she is supported by trans campaigners like Julia Serrano,
00:08:13.280
and is a key doctrine of the new state religion of gender.
00:08:17.500
It goes without saying that people are entitled to their beliefs,
00:08:29.360
One of the reasons why this has been allowed to happen
00:08:33.700
that this quasi-religion has some basis in science.
00:08:37.420
This is largely down to the influence of WPATH,
00:08:40.040
the World Professional Association of Transgender Health,
00:08:44.220
that is recognised as the leading global authority in this area
00:08:51.800
Its standards of care have formed the basis of policies
00:08:55.120
throughout the Western world, including the NHS,
00:08:58.320
and it is explicitly critiqued in the CAF's review
00:09:03.720
In early March, the credibility of WPATH was shattered
00:09:08.420
which had been leaked to journalist Michael Schellenberger
00:09:12.460
A full report was written by journalist Mia Hughes
00:09:19.220
Pseudoscientific Surgical and Hormonal Experiments
00:09:22.080
on Children, Adolescents and Vulnerable Adults.
00:09:25.480
It revealed a general lack of ethical and professional standards.
00:09:29.360
There are messages proving that surgeons and therapists
00:09:31.960
are aware that a significant proportion of young people
00:09:42.440
in the knowledge that no consent has been secured
00:09:45.960
from either the children or those directly responsible
00:09:56.720
knowing that the children do not understand the implications.
00:10:11.780
should have been the end of gender-affirming care.
00:10:25.480
which is perhaps to be expected from an organisation
00:10:37.720
I have sent five requests to the BBC press office
00:10:42.960
to find out why the WPATH files have been ignored.
00:11:10.600
on her Health and Equality Act Amendment bill in March,
00:11:15.340
about the social transitioning of children in schools
00:11:17.660
and how private companies are evading the NHS ban
00:11:49.140
Since details of the Cass Review were published,
00:11:54.180
a woman who has criticised biology school textbooks
00:11:58.700
and who has suggested that children as young as eight
00:12:06.520
Trans healthcare is vital to protecting and supporting
00:12:16.640
to increase the age of accessing gender-affirming care
00:12:21.040
Of course, the Cass Review makes no such recommendations.
00:12:33.600
of the regional children and young people's service
00:12:39.760
at a potentially vulnerable stage in their journey.
00:13:03.780
I grew out of gender dysphoria by the age of 22,
00:13:13.820
perhaps the Cass Review's criticism of these clinics
00:13:16.020
for pressurising GPs into prescribing the drugs
00:13:37.880
means nothing to the high priests of this cult.
00:14:39.060
Whereas the charity once fought for gay people,
