I have come into possession of an email sent by Patrick Hunter of the Catholic Medical Assn to the Florida BoM, where he says Dr. Cass and her team met to share info with the Florida BoM.

Patrick Hunter was handpicked by DeSantis to ban care, and met with Cass to do so. Image
This also implicates Dr. Kaltiala, a favored source for anti-trans things in Europe.
Important to note: Patrick Hunter is part of an organization that swears to uphold that gender affirming care is bad.

More context to how much of a hit job and predetermined strike by DeSantis the Florida review was here:

1. In the latest twist out of England. Dr. Hillary Cass appeared to backpedal from her own review, stating that blockers and hormone therapy should be made available based on individual need.

She also defended her meet with DeSantis' picks

2. The interview, first reported on by @DadTrans, was done with a group of LGBTQ+ organizations who asked Dr. Cass questions about her review.

The answers are sure to further embroil the review in controversy.

3. In the interview, Dr. Cass is asked about whether or not blocker are unsafe drugs.

She responds that nothing supports that, and that blockers were actually being given "too late" by the NHS, and that blockers and HRT should be made available based on individual need. Image

1. There has been much more that has come out about the Cass Review since its initial publication. In my latest story, I make an argument that the Cass Review is politics disguised as science for the purpose of restricting transgender care.

2. The Cass Review was released last week, and as expected, it appears to be pretext to ban care f in England.

Meanwhile, in the US, far right organizations are using it to try to accomplish extreme crackdowns on trans people.

3. For those unaware of the situation in England, waitlists for care have ballooned in excess of 5 years as little support is given to trans people's medical care.

After a series of political attacks on trans people, the NHS tapped Dr. Hillary Cass to do a review.

1. Yesterday, the Supreme Court allowed a trans ban in Idaho to take affect for everyone EXCEPT for two young trans plaintiffs. I spoke with attorneys to examine the impact of this ruling nationwide; it's not what you might think.

Subscribe to support my journalism. Lets dig in. Image
2. The ruling, which allowed an Idaho trans care ban to go back into effect, was more about broad preliminary injunctions than it was about trans people. Importantly, it did not rule on the constitutionality of trans care at all.

Read my story here:

erininthemorning.com/p/what-the-ida…
3. The ruling was primarily about broad preliminary injunctions. In December, a federal judge overturned a trans ban in Idaho, barring the state from enforcing it on anyone as likely unconstitutional.

1. Tennessee's Senate has passed an extreme bill that would bar "recruiting, harboring, or transporting" transgender youth for gender affirming care.

Read broadly, it could target trans advocates and clinics across state lines.

Subscribe to support my journalism. Lets dig in. Image
2. The bill, SB2782, bars any effort that helps minors obtain gender affirming care, even if it is legally obtained across state lines. Some have expressed fear it may be used to target even providing information about healthcare.

Read my article here:

erininthemorning.com/p/tennessee-se…
3. The bill uses the word "recruits," which may aid in its broad reading. It also is a word that has been used to target gay people in the past over fears that gay people "recruited" youth into a "gay lifestyle." Image

1. Two years ago, Hillary Cass met with DeSantis picks and collaborated on a trans care ban in Florida.

Now her review targets trans people in England.

It is filled with flawed claims over evidence, toys, and social transition.

2. On Tuesday evening, Dr. Hillary Cass released a final report commissioned by the NHS widely expected to target trans care.

The report met those expectations, advocating for extensive restrictions on trans people.

Read my article here:

erininthemorning.com/p/cass-met-wit…
3. The report calls for restrictions on gender affirming care, social transition. It calls for blocking adults under 25 from adult care, citing increasing waitlists of the NHS's own design.

It rejects over 100 studies as not sufficiently "high quality."

1. Major victory in Florida. A federal judge has ruled that a transgender teacher cannot be forced to go by "Mr." as required by a new state law.

The scathing ruling was issued on 1st Amendment grounds.

Subscribe to support my journalism. The full decision is in the story. Image
2. This is a substantial decision, as it directly overrides one of the new "Don't Say Gay" expansion's policies when it comes to the enforcement of gendered pronouns on a transgender teacher in Florida's school system.

You can read my full article here:
erininthemorning.com/p/florida-has-…
3. The federal judge states, "Once again, the State of Florida has a First Amendment problem. It has occurred so frequently of late, some might say you can set your clock by it…"

He determines that the state CANNOT mandate that a trans woman teacher be barred from using "Ms." Image
