One of the better pieces I've seen so far about the Cass Review, from Elia Cugini at Trans Safety Network. Usefully realistic about how gatekeeping & genuine exploration don't mix very well.

#Minnesota is the 21st U.S. state to prohibit licensed therapists from subjecting minors to #conversiontherapy
Sexual orientation and gender identity change efforts (#sogice) cause great harm to families and offer no benefit whatsoever.
April 24, 2023 (SAINT PAUL, MINNESOTA) — Minnesota made history today when Governor Tim Walz signed into law a bill prohibiting licensed therapists from subjecting minors to conversion therapy, a dangerous practice that seeks to change a young person’s sexual orientation or gender identity.

It's worth noting that WPATH and others are absolutely clear about what the "psychotherapeutic" approach means for gender care - it's conversion therapy by another name, seeking excuses to delay and deny gender affirming care.
The fact that this is being recommended by NHS interim guidelines is an appalling failure to protect and uphold standards of care for trans and gender diverse people.
