Been getting a lot of hate on twitter for standing up against the right wing fascists currently terrorising innocent citizens across the UK.

I will never stop fighting against fascism! Who's with me?

To counteract the hate, post a ❤️ if you agree love is stronger than hate!

[Harry Eccles @Heccles94]

I am so proud of all my colleagues from all backgrounds, all countries and all faiths who work day in day out to run our NHS.

We stand united against Fascism!

Hope not hate 💙

RT if you agree.

We support @weareNWJC 's calls for a #WomensJusticeBoard to convene women’s orgs, academics, statutory agencies + experts by experience to coordinate a cross-government focus on women in contact with the CJS. #WJB See: https://t.co/9VM5f5gDDM

[National Women's Justice Coalition @weareNWJC]

We know women's orgs have been undervalued & underfunded to crisis point with many forced to suspend services, loose staff + close centres. So it's now vital UK Gov now commits equitable sustainable funding to the women's sector as a matter of urgency https://t.co/mNy6NtSISr

15. Likewise, researchers at Yale slammed the Florida Review, and many of their critiques are applicable to the Cass Review as well... not surprising given the collaboration.

14. It is important to note that gender affirming care saves lives, and there is plenty of evidence to show for it, such as this review of over 50 articles by Cornell University.

13. Immediately after the release, trans experts worldwide voiced opposition to the findings, including AusPATH and PATHA.

See bits of their statements here:

12. Within a day of the publication of the Cass Review, it appears those concerns were well warranted. NHS England has just announced it would launch a new review into adult care over fears of "individuals with undiagnosed conditions"

11. Another controversial section focused on those under 25, stating that trans people under 25 should be barred from adult care populations due to their waitlist time counting towards getting adult care.

There is speculation that this could restrict care under 25 further.

[Erin Reed @erininthemorning.com on Bsky @ErinInTheMorn]

10. One of the most controversial sections of the Cass Review calls for restrictions on social transition, spreading fear that social transition could "change" a child's gender permanently and advocating for restrictions.

[Erin Reed @erininthemorning.com on Bsky @ErinInTheMorn]

9. Notably, Patrick Hunter has been identified as part of a network of anti-trans Christian-Right experts who seek to roll back trans and queer rights by the SPLC.

Both the Florida Review and the Cass Review serve that function, and both collaborated.

8. The meetings and emails, which show collaboration over these targeted and politically motivated bans, was first unearthed by transgender researcher @ZJemptv and have been subject to trial here in the US.
