The BMJ have released a piece criticising @TheBMA for daring to critique the controversial Cass Review.
This is hardly surprising, when you realise how much of Cass is driven by the BMJ. 🧵
The BMJ have been churning out pieces undermining affirming care for trans children, stoking the concerns of readers not familiar with trans healthcare. Notably, there was this piece in April last year:
Hi @doctor_oxford, I'd like to give you some context as to why our democratic professional body, @theBMA, would decide to undertake an evaluation of the recently published Cass Review, with a view to recommending improvements to trans healthcare in the UK. 🧵
To be clear, these are my own thoughts and do not represent those of the BMA. I am a doctor, BMA member, EDI Advisory Group member, author on a paper critically appraising the Cass Review, I have lived experience, and I have done work on trans inclusion in healthcare.
