Left Wing Has Spent Decade ‘Trying to Shut Women up’ For Transgender Ideology, Says UK Health Minister.
Getty ImagesThe UK Labour Party is hypocritical to now endorse the deeply critical Cass report on transgender drugs given it has been “part of the ideology, the culture wars” for the past ten years, a government health minister says.
Dr Hillary Cass published the full, nearly 400-word NHS-ordered report into the state of children’s transgender “services” in the health service on Wednesday in which she made a series of serious criticisms and recommendations. The Left-wing Labour Party — gunning to become the new government at national elections later this year — was quick to say it would adopt all 32 recommendations made by Dr Cass, but present Secretary of State for Health and Social Care Victoria Atkins angrily slammed the rhetoric as hypocritical given — as she claimed — Labour had been part of the problem all along.
The report had shone a light on “bullying” and intimidation in the debate around trans issues in the United Kingdom, with Dr Cass herself saying she’d been attacked for leading the review and said the environment was “exceptionally toxic”. Reflecting this, Atkins said on Thursday morning that Dr Cass had been “incredibly brave” in her work and said “a culture of ideology and dare I say it intimidation ahs been allowed to trump the interests of children and the basis of clinical evidence” in an interview with London broadcaster LBC.
