Victorian Supreme Court Rules Puberty Blockers No Different to ‘Any Other Medical Treatment’, affirms single parental consent
The ruling comes as welcome relief to Australian parents of transgender children who now have greater certainty about gender-affirming healthcare for their children.

Quick look at the Cass Report re: data from Denmark
It is interesting to see that Cass is presenting data from Waehre that she received as part of “personal communication” - what else did she absorb directly from this now discredited source?

The #CASS Report, it's not peer-reviewed, it's merely a biased essay.
#CASS is devoid of any sensible arguments against gender affirming health care. #CASS subjects us to a carefully crafted sideshow of straw man conjecture, smoke and mirrors.

“the evidence also supports that the treatments are safe in terms of changes to bone density, cardiovascular risk factors, metabolic changes, and cancer”
And unlike Cass it provides a 157 page bibliography of all included studies.
It’s so comprehensive. It puts Cass to shame.
Wes will ignore it.

In summary, we think that Baroness Cass, or other unidentified officials, have purported to wield unbridled powers of censorship, despite there being no lawful basis of it.

“The Cass Review's contradictions are striking. It acknowledged some trans young people benefit from [blockers], but its recommendations have made this currently inaccessible to all. It found no evidence psychological treatments improve gender dysphoria, yet recommended expanding their provision.”

Our government knows this but acts anyway. It feels criminal.
