Dr Paul Moran consultant psychiatrist at the National Gender Service and member of the Cass Review Clinical Expert Group of 2023 calls for the Government to remove references to WPATH in the Programme for Government and "instead adopt the Cass Report as the key policy document."…

I don't think it's nice to lock rapists in with female prisoners, allow mediocre males to participate in women's and girls' sport, or for women to get death and rape threats for speaking up for their rights. When you've stopped all that happening, we can talk 'nice.'

The Countess calls on @NormaFoleyTD1 @Education_Ire to issue a circular advising all schools against participation in the Belong To Quality Mark and any programme that promotes social transition. Such initiatives must be resisted by all adults committed to upholding child…

This treatment extends to the use of opposite sex bathrooms, changing rooms and overnight accommodation, as well as their participation in sports. This undermines safeguarding. They also advises to promote gender ideology throughout the curriculum, not just in SPHE classes.

Dr Paul Moran told @Independent_ie that the author of #CassReview has ‘warned that socially transitioning — where a child begins to live publicly as the opposite to their biological sex — should involve the support of a clinician." Some Irish schools are socially transitioning…

So those who claim concern for ‘the science’, are one and the same with those who churn out low-quality studies to support their unjustified mistreatment of children. The continued attacks on the most definitive review to date are fuelled by greed or ideology not concern for…

It is clear that the standard for investigation and research in gender medicine falls short in terms of good clinical practice and we can only presume this is due to the influence of ideology on practitioners and researchers. As it says in the systematic review, there is a "..…

only one was deemed to be of high quality. This means that out of > 3000 studies on puberty blockers in children only 1 was high quality and a further 24 were of moderate quality; most were low quality and not even peer reviewed.

Critics would seem to be confusing criteria for inclusion/exclusion of studies with the grading system for included studies (i.e. whether they are low, moderate or high quality). Of the 50 studies which met the inclusion criteria for this review,

cross sectional studies (comparing a group on PBs with a comparator) and studies on children comparing before and after puberty blockers being administered. #CassReview

Therefore the two reasons for exclusion were not peer reviewed and/or were not proper intervention studies. There is no suggestion that any studies were excluded because of not being “blind”. Instead, the studies which were included (50) were a mixture of cohort (effects over…

This is not entirely true. For many drugs, such as puberty blockers, “blind” interventions studies are not appropriate as the participants, will always know if they are on the treatment or the placebo. These studies were excluded according to the STANDARD CRITERIA of such…

#CassReview Is the Cass Report methodologically flawed? We say no, the scientists in our Child Transition working group have looked at the methodology and criticisms and explain our findings. An emerging criticism of the Cass review into the safety and efficacy of puberty…

Thank you @IrishTimes for printing my letter about Dr Aidan Kelly's incorrect claim that the NHS move away from puberty blockers is 'out of step with the rest of the world'. They cause irreversible damage to children. irishtimes.com/opinion/letter…
