Actually didn’t Baroness Cass say no body knows what possible outcomes from puberty blockers there might be?
If so, there is no really ‘expert’ clinical opinion to be had.
Didn’t Baroness Cass also write that they had wanted to review 9000 cases concerning gender treatment of young people that have already happened - in other words the real life results of a 9000 strong cohort who were recipients of ‘gender care’ - but the gender clinics refused to divulge the information?
When clinicians talk to patients about what interventions may be best for them, they usually refer to the longer-term benefits and risks of different options, based on outcome data from other people who have been through a similar care pathway. This information is not currently available for interventions in children and young people with gender incongruence or gender dysphoria, so young people and their families have to make decisions without an adequate picture of the potential impacts and outcomes.
A strand of research commissioned by the Review was a quantitative data linkage study.The aim of this study was to fill some of the gaps in follow-up data for the approximately 9,000 young people who have been through GIDS. This would help to develop a stronger evidence base about the types of support and interventions received and longer-term outcomes. This required cooperation of GIDS and the NHS adult gender services.
92. In January 2024, the Review received a letter from NHS England stating that, despite efforts to encourage the participation of the NHS gender clinics, the necessary cooperation had not been forthcoming.

Make them give up all that information.
