Summary

In 2020, the United Kingdom’s (NHS) commissioned an inquiry to provide recommendations for the healthcare of transgender adolescents. It was overseen by a pediatrician named Dr. Hillary Cass and was completed in April 2024. It became known as the Cass Review, and it has since been used to justify depriving a lot of people of the healthcare they badly need. But is it good science? Obviously not.

Yale's Integrity Project gathered several actual experts in the field to conduct their own review of the review. The results are not pretty. They published an excellent report entitled "An Evidence-Based Critique of “The Cass Review” on Gender-affirming Care for Adolescent Gender Dysphoria." Three of these experts, Drs. Meredithe McNamara, Kellan Baker, and Ken C. Pang, were kind enough to join us to talk about their findings.

It looks to me like the anti-trans side is winning this information war, so please share this far and wide to get the word out!

460 and this is a very important one. I'm so glad to be able to present this to

0:20.5

you today. You might have heard of something called the

0:23.2

Cass Report or the Cass Review and if you have you've likely heard of it because

0:27.7

someone is claiming that it blew the whole lid off of transgender ideology and the way we provide medical care to children who might be trans.

0:39.0

It's treated as like this whistleblower-esque thing out of the UK that once and for all debunked all this

0:45.2

gender-y nonsense. If you're a listener of this show you probably wouldn't be surprised to find out that

0:50.0

then obviously none of that's true. And All-Star producer Lydia Smith

0:54.9

has assembled not one, not two, but three experts

0:58.5

to talk about this.

0:59.6

They are three of the authors

1:02.0

of what I would call the Cast Review review, but is actually

1:06.3

called an evidence-based critique of the Cast Review on gender-affirming care

1:10.4

for adolescent gender dysphoria.

1:12.6

And so what we're going to hear is actual doctors with actual experience and

1:16.6

actual knowledge talk about the reality going on here.

1:20.3

And it's quite disturbing to learn about how apparently easy it is to produce a nonsense report that has a massive effect on the informational ecosystem.

1:30.7

Seeing as how these are three very busy people.

1:33.1

Our time was limited.

1:34.1

I didn't want to waste any time doing introductions.

1:36.4

I figured I'd do that here.

So the first person you'll hear is Dr.
