I’m absolutely disgusted by the misogynist filth directed at the author of the report. Whether or not you dispute its findings, it is outrageous that Dr Cass has to put up the sexist rubbish hurled at her on social media and elsewhere

Hi thrawn,

Your comment proves the original point. Transgender people are not a broken bone, but whole entire beings with their own experience. But if simple metaphors help wrap your brain around it, people don’t usually choose to have their bones broken, and getting medical help for it is better than letting it flop around and swell under the muscle and the skin and hoping for the best.

Best regards,
M

“A core theme running throughout the Cass Review is that trans people are not as good as cis people; it’s better not to be trans if you can avoid it.”

Those are two different statements.

I would rather not break my leg. It’s painful, debilitating, requiring time-consuming and possibly expensive treatment. I would certainly advise that people take precautions to avoid breaking bones if they can. But that is not the same as saying that someone with a broken leg is “not as good” as someone without.
