The Cass Review into the gender treatment of young people – which has found that the NHS has been in the grip of transgender activists – is a step in the right direction. So too are the remarks by one brave BBC News journalist who says the national broadcaster must shoulder part of the blame for creating a one-sided narrative on this issue. But even he had to write under a pseudonym for fear of losing his job. The question is, will anything actually change?
Already, two new NHS gender clinics have been opened for treating young people, one in London and one in Liverpool. Meanwhile, the current government is still pressing ahead with plans to ban conversion practices, which will inhibit people’s freedom to speak out on these issues, although there is very little time for the government to legislate before the next election.
