Whistleblowers allege that the NHS in Great Britain covered up a large spike in suicides after restrictions on trans care. The number of suicides appears to have been omitted from the Cass Review.

This was absolutely terrifying to read, but it's good to know.

This is a profound, emerging national scandal.

The Cass Review has already been used as a significant argument in trans legislation worldwide, notably in the United States. The article itself notes how it has been affected by Ron DeSantis. At this point, no, this is international.

Ah yes, the report that the author immediately backpedaled from and said hormone blockers must be available to anyone who needs them regardless of age? Perfect legislation material. The minute it comes out.

But of course they're not going to acknowledge that. Science was never the point. Quality of care was never the point.
