    That’s certainly not how I read the report. The intro was mostly focused on how patients have been let down by poor services and practice in favour of ideology.

      it should be worth noting that more has come out about hilary cass’s ties to the american far right and religious fundamentalists.

      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.

        Meeting with different groups is hardly evidence of bias on her part. The report even mentions the range of views that fed into report in the intro.

            From the foreword:

            “Throughout, the Review has focused on hearing a wide range of perspectives to better understand the challenges within the current system and aspirations for how these could be addressed. This report does not contain all that we have heard but summarises consistent themes, using direct quotes to illustrate points made, where appropriate.”

            How heavily does she quote this group in the report? Because the report certainly doesn’t recommend banning care for trans people.
