Andrea Williams, Chief Executive of Christian Concern, responds to the long-awaited Cass Review into NHS therapy for kids and younger folks with gender dysphoria.
The Cass Review makes clear that youngsters haven’t been informed the reality by clinicians and different adults.
It will not be true that you could be be born within the unsuitable physique. It will not be true that you would be able to change gender. It will not be true that puberty-blockers will assist youngsters. It is excessive time we stopped telling youngsters this stuff.
The strain of an instructional tradition captivated by transgender ideology has prevented sincere, impartial, scientific analysis. Fundamental to science is the should be pushed by evidence-based scientific analysis. The NHS and different clinicians should return to evidence-based drugs, not ideological therapy of susceptible youngsters.
It is now clear that the skilled ban on conversion remedy is harming youngsters. This ban wants to finish. We welcome the UKCP (The UK Council for Psychotherapy) withdrawing its signature from the MoU (Memorandum of Understanding) on Conversion Therapy. Other organisations must observe. Clinicians can’t be pressured into adopting an affirmative method via the specter of accusations of ‘conversion practices’.
It is time for the federal government to drop solely all plans to introduce new laws to outlaw so-called ‘conversion practices’.
The authorities must act to dam all loopholes to accessing puberty blockers and introduce an entire ban on their use on this nation.
Once once more, the damaging results of on-line pornography are laid naked. More must be finished to limit entry to such materials to youngsters particularly.
I’m happy to see that the NHS will overview all trans therapy following this overview. Children have been badly served by an ideological system which believed that affirming youngsters in a false gender identification and prescribing dangerous medicine was useful.
This must cease. Children should be informed the reality. We are created female and male and we can’t change this. Most youngsters will develop out of gender confusion as they undergo puberty. Gender confused youngsters want care and help and to be informed the reality which is able to set them free.
