Doctors are quitting the British Medical Association (BMA) in anger over its rejection of the Cass review, calling the recommendation ‘bonkers.’
According to the Times, hundreds of members, including NHS leaders and former presidents of medical royal colleges, have expressed ‘dismay’ at union leaders for opposing the review’s recommendations on gender identity services for children. They allege the union is being controlled by a ‘vocal minority’.
In April, a report by Dr. Hilary Cass found that children had been ‘let down’ due to a lack of reliable evidence on the safety of transitioning for young people.
While the findings has been grudgingly accepted amongst among our leaders, the ‘trans’ lobby within the BMA are ferociously defending their pitch. Ideology and jobs are at risk. The BMA has been captured by them and will now form a group to ‘publicly critique’ the review, arguing that it used flawed methods and made unsupported recommendations. (It didn’t.)
Like much of our elite, they need to seek the Lord! Sign our petition:

‘Secretive and opaque’
The BMA council, made up of 69 members, voted to reject the Cass review, making it formal policy. Critics called the vote ‘secretive and opaque.’
Over 1,400 doctors, including 900 BMA members, signed an open letter urging the union to accept the review’s findings, accusing its leaders of ignoring evidence-based medicine and ethical practice. The letter was signed by nearly 70 professors and 23 former or current presidents of medical royal colleges.
According to comments reported by The Times, many doctors have cancelled their membership in protest of the union’s stance on the review.

Treat with ‘compassion and respect’
A spokesman for the Cass review said: ‘The systematic reviews undertaken by the University of York, which underpin the review’s findings, are the largest and most comprehensive to date.
‘They looked at 237 papers from 18 countries, providing information on a total of 113,269 children and adolescents.
‘All of the University of York’s systematic review research papers were subject to peer review, a cornerstone of academic rigour and integrity to ensure that the methods, findings, and interpretation of the findings met the highest standards of quality, validity and impartiality.
‘As stated in the final report, while open and constructive debate is needed about the findings of the review and its recommendations, everybody should remember the children and young people trying to live their lives and the families/carers and clinicians doing their best to support them.
‘All should be treated with compassion and respect.’
