World Professional Association for Transgender Health (WPATH) Files

That article says far more about Bells well known biases than it does about the Cass report. The "poor me" bit is very telling.

He did not work in GIDs, he worked in adult mental health department at the Tavistocks trust. He had nothing to do with GIDs until he inserted himself into it. A man who doesn't actual believe that gender affirmative treatment should ever be used.

He was a staff governor at GIDS, elected to represent clinicians to the board. I'd say you are misquoting him there that gender affirmative treatment should never be used.

I see him described above as "sniveling sycophant" which is exactly the kind of toxic talk that Cass complained about.

Bells position is not what will happen because Dr Bell shares your extremist ideological agenda. Treatment will be based on best available evidence and appropriate candidate children will continue to receive gender affirming treatments because to deny them such treatments is unethical. All treatments will be subjected to ethical review and those which meet the needs of the patients will be carried forward.

As I said before all claims of a victory for your ideologically driven agenda will ultimately fall far short of the ultimate reality.

Bell has shown his biased by his actions since retiring. He is an activist who associates with other anti trans activists.

The reason you agree with him is because you are cut from the same cloth.

So you agree that a transgender child should receive gender affirming treatments ?

I see him described above as "sniveling sycophant" which is exactly the kind of toxic talk that Cass complained about.

Of course it is, because when anyone expresses their opinions in the public domain, it doesn’t follow that they are entitled to be protected from criticism. That much is obvious to anyone, long before Cass stated the obvious in her report.

Oh for sure - they can't make a point because at this stage there isn't one to make

On the contrary - the Cass report is just one report among many. It didn’t offer anything new in terms of the treatment of gender Incongruence in children. All it managed to accomplish was adding more fuel to the fire, as opposed to offering anything useful or worthwhile in terms of NHS policy and the treatment of gender incongruence in children. The NHS had already determined that an holistic approach was necessary, which is in line with standard practice in modern medicine.

Medical professionals cannot be expected to suspend the Hippocratic oath they are sworn to uphold just because some ridiculous ideologues aren't happy about it.

The Hippocratic Oath hasn’t been a thing in Medicine for decades. It’s long been superseded by Codes of Medical Ethics and Good Medical Practices overseen by the GMC in the UK. I won’t refer to you as a ridiculous ideologue simply because you’re not familiar with ethics in modern medicine.

It is quite telling when people will attack individuals over the actual reports, and try and undermine the individuals. It is pretty pathetic.

Yes, the Cass Report recommends that children presenting with identity issues should not be affirmed

The Cass report makes no such recommendation. What the report says specifically is:

12.36 The information above demonstrates that there is no clear evidence that social transition in childhood has positive or negative mental health outcomes. There is relatively weak evidence for any effect in adolescence. However, sex of rearing seems to have some influence on eventual gender outcome, and it is possible that social transition in childhood may change the trajectory of gender identity development for children with early gender incongruence. For this reason, a more cautious approach needs to be taken for children than for adolescents:

Children:

• Parents should be encouraged to seek clinical help and advice in deciding how to support a child with gender incongruence and should be prioritised on the waiting list for early consultation on this issue.
• Clinical involvement in the decision-making process should include advising on the risks and benefits of social transition as a planned intervention, referencing best available evidence. This is not a role that can be taken by staff without appropriate clinical training.
• It is important to ensure that the voice of the child is heard in any decision making and that parents are not unconsciously influencing the child’s gender expression.
• For those going down a social transition pathway, maintaining flexibility and keeping options open by helping the child to understand their body as well as their feelings is likely to be advantageous. Partial rather than full transition may be a way of ensuring flexibility, particularly given the MPRG report which highlighted that being in stealth from early childhood may add to the stress of impending puberty and the sense of urgency to enter a medical pathway.

And what qualifications to you possess to say that a doctor is not worthy of serious respect?
