Did the Cass Review disregard the evidence of all but 2 of 103 studies on puberty blockers & hormones to reach it’s conclusions? Yes and no.

I’d like to offer a brief breakdown of what they did & didn’t do & clear-up some misunderstandings.

🧵 Hilary Cass misrepresents this big scary graph in her final report. It’s not from a study of people who detransition, it’s from an ethnographic study of the online detrans community (a socio-political subculture). 15.54 Figure 37 shows some of the reasons given for detransitioning in response to a cross-sectional online survey of 237 self-identified participants (Vandenbussche, 2022).

The majority of people who detransition were never eligible to participate.

The term “detransitioner” will be used here to refer to someone who possibly underwent some of these medical and/or social detransition steps and, more importantly, who identifies as a detransitioner. It is important to add this dimension, because the act of medical/social detransition can be performed by individuals who did not cease to identify as transgender and who do not identify as detransitioners or as members of the detrans community. Furthermore, some individuals might identify as detransitioners after having ceased to identify as trans, while not being in a position to medically o...

Scientific racism, a thread: In March, a journal published a paper defending the “theory” that Boasian anthropology, Freudian psychology, multiculturalism, Marxism and left-wing political movements in general are best understood in terms of “Jewish group evolutionary strategy.” These “Jewish ideologies,” we are told, promote Jewish group interests by weakening the white populations sense of nationalism, religiosity and ethnocentrism. 2/100
