@KeefJudge @sinbad oh for sure! did you read that crazy long article @TomF linked to about this?
A very very interesting read.

There's a parliamentary petition for an independent review of the Cass report into gender medical services for young people. It's a highly problematic document commissioned by the previous government and shaped by anti-trans viewpoints.

If you're a Brit, you can sign it, whether you live in the UK or not. Please do.

Petition: An independent evaluation of the Cass review on child gender services
