The Cass Report, authored by Hillary Cass, critically examines the state of gender medicine in the UK, particularly concerning children and the prescription of puberty blockers. The report concludes that existing studies on "gender questioning" children are methodologically flawed, leading to significant changes in NHS practices in England and Scotland. Critics argue about the exclusion of low-quality studies from the evidence synthesis, questioning whether this undermines the report's conclusions. The debate surrounding the report is politically charged, reflecting broader societal tensions regarding gender identity.
