The Cass Review has not been peer-reviewed. But it has now been critiqued in depth and from every angle and fully discredited as pseudoscience by ELEVEN peer-reviewed publications. So when the government uses the Cass Review to justify any policies it is not “following the science”.
Karin Smyth
Minister of State (Department of Health and Social Care)
The Government is continuing its work with the National Health
Service to reform gender services, to ensure young people receive timely, holistic care and support, while reviewing the use of cross-sex hormones in line with recommendation eight of the Cass Review.
The Cass Review said that NHS England should review its policy on cross-sex hormones. The review noted that the option to provide cross-sex hormones is available for patients aged 16 years old and over, but that
"extreme caution" was recommended along with a "strong clinical rationale for providing hormones before the age of 18". In line with Dr Cass's recommendations, every case for treatment is now discussed by a national multi-disciplinary team, and NHS England is reviewing its clinical commissioning policy on cross-sex hormones. A public consultation on the evidence is anticipated to take place this summer, and an updated policy is expected to be in place by April 2026.
With regard to private prescribing, a working group has been established by NHS England to provide advice to Government officials and the Chief Pharmaceutical Officer. The remit of the working group is to provide practical advice on the operational consequences of introducing any restrictions on private prescribing and advice on how to manage any risks to patients. The working group is made up of consultant endocrinologists, pharmacy and primary care leads, and national commissioners.
It is not the working group's role to decide whether restrictions on private prescribing should, or should not, be introduced. Neither is the group providing advice on the future use of cross-sex hormones by NHS clinicians. The Department will use the outputs of the working group to inform ongoing policy development.

Who Goes MAGA?
With apologies to Dorothy Thompson, whose 1941 essay in Harper’s, “Who Goes Nazi?” remains a worthwhile read on the cultural archetypes of who is drawn to fascism, and who would never go down such a path. It felt like it could use a modern updating, however. Update: Just after I finished writing this, it occurred to me that there was no chance I was the first to think of doing this, so I did a search and sure enough, the writer Talia Lavin had the same idea months ago.

READ THE COMPLAINT: storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...
INTRODUCTION
On May 27, 2025, Defendant, the Secretary of the United States Department of
Health and Human Services, Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. (the "Secretary" or "Mr. Kennedy"), announced in a post on social media site X that he "couldn't be more pleased that, as of today, the Covid vaccine
for healthy children and healthy pregnant women has been removed from the CDC recommended
immunization schedules."! Unless the Secretary's baseless and uninformed policy decision is vacated, pregnant women, their unborn children, and, in fact, all children remain at grave and immediate risk of contracting a preventable disease. This decision immediately exposes these
vulnerable populations to a serious illness with potentially irreversible long-term effects and, in
some cases, death. This is not a hypothetical concern, but a pressing public health emergency that
demands immediate legal action and correction.
