The UK's NHS Cass Review has been cited in restrictive trans care policies.
A new report released by Yale Law School and Yale School of Medicine criticizes the often-cited Cass Review on gender-affirming care for transgender youth, commissioned by the National Health Service in the United Kingdom., released in April, was performed by Dr. Hillary Cass, a former president of the Royal College of Pediatrics and Child Health, amid a rise in referrals to NHS' gender services.
"In making her recommendations, Dr. Cass had to rely on the currently available evidence and think about how the NHS can respond safely, effectively, and compassionately," the Review team told ABC News. "While there certainly is an increase in referrals, describing this increase as 'exponential' is a serious error that fuels concern that the Review is too often more interested in subjective polemics than in scientific accuracy," the Yale report says.The Cass Review also criticized the evidence supporting the need for gender-affirming care.
A subsequent clarification in the FAQ further states: "The same level of rigor should be expected when looking at the best treatment approaches for this population as for any other population so as not to perpetuate the disadvantaged position this group have been placed in when looking for information on treatment options.
