Dr. Hilary Cass, the 66-year-old physician who led the team behind the 366-page Cass Review, has become a target of trans activists as the repercussions of her findings reverberate through the political and medical establishment. The abuse is not confined merely to online; she has been advised not to use public transport for her own safety.
In an interview with the Times, Cass stated that critics of her report are putting children “at risk” by spreading “straight disinformation” and that criticisms, thus far, have been “completely wrong.” One Labour MP accused Cass of ignoring “100 transgender studies” in her findings. This, says Cass, is disingenuous in the extreme.

“I have been really frustrated by the criticisms, because it is straight disinformation,” Cass told the Times. “It started the day before the report came out when an influencer put up a picture of a list of papers that were apparently rejected for not being randomised control trials. That list has absolutely nothing to do with either our report or any of the papers.”
“If you deliberately try to undermine a report that has looked at the evidence of children’s healthcare, then that’s unforgiveable,” she continued. “You are putting children at risk by doing that.” The 100 papers that were allegedly “left out” of the report, Cass noted, were each individually examined by her team of researchers, who “pulled the results from the ones that were high quality and medium quality, which was 60 out of 103.”
Cass’s crime, of course, is that her report debunks the transgender narrative. She has been encouraged, she told the Times, by the impact of her report in many quarters – but the response elicited from trans activists has been “pretty aggressive” and she noted that the vitriol spiked each time the Cass Review reported something “people don’t like.”
“There are some pretty vile emails coming in at the moment,” she said of the profanity-laced digital missives coming her way. “Most of which my team is protecting me from, so I’m not getting to see them. What dismays me is just how childish the debate can become. If I don’t agree with somebody then I’m called transphobic or a TERF [trans-exclusionary radical feminist].”
When asked if the vitriol was wearing her down, Cass responded:
No… it’s personal, but these people don’t know me. I’m much, much more upset and frustrated about all the disinformation than I am about the abuse. The thing that makes me seethe is the misinformation. I’m not going on public transport at the moment, following security advice, which is inconvenient.
Indeed, six clinics, she said, refused to share research into the impact of puberty blockers – Cass called their reaction “coordinated” and “ideologically driven” and noted that “they were not particularly friendly to us when we approached.”
That medical institutions would refuse to cooperate on a study of the long-term impacts of the care they give to children is, any reasonable observer should agree, a very red flag – and there were more. Tavistock also refused to hand over data on detransitioners, which Cass called “very disappointing.” When asked about ideological capture, she told the Times that “there were certainly one or two individuals… who I would describe as activists among the staff,” although she added that “the majority of staff believed what they were doing was right.”
Although Cass will not be carrying out the recently-announced review of adult gender clinics, she did condemn GenderGP – which we have reported on in this space several times – for continuing to advertise and prescribe puberty blockers, noting that the “care” provided by Dr. Helen Webberley “certainly doesn’t come anywhere near anything one would recognise as adequate in terms of a proper assessment and exploration.”
That a female physician has been advised to stop taking the bus or the train because she might be assaulted by trans activists for attempting to protect children from a horrifying – and ongoing – medical scandal should be shocking to us all. The last few years have desensitized us to this sort of behavior. Fortunately, it appears that the Cass Review’s findings are having a seismic impact on the debate trans activists desperately tried to avoid, nonetheless.
A troubling trans train tragedy in the offing?
I’m getting quite sick of that word “threatening”. DemoNazis threatening Jewish students at college, trans Nazis threatening this, Marxists threatening Trump supporters! ENOUGH! If you are threatened, KICK THEIR ASS! I’ve done it before around 13 years ago. Driving down 7th ave in Manhattan NYC and the Occupy Wall street terrorists held up traffic and started banging on the hoods of cars. When they got to mine I got out and punched out two, they backed right down. No more hood banging. Cop was right there as well and did nothing LOL
when you can’t argue against the data, you simply threaten the scientist.
Another tranny with violence control issue.
Where are the counter threats?
Perhaps the sick ones might like to experience them.
You also refuse to allow the public to see the data.
Besides the Trans scam, that tactic is used in the climate scam, and even in the bear spray scam.
The amount of cancers from taking hormones, it kills kidneys and livers and creates heart problem, and the reoccurring surgeries for the infections.
Dr. Hilary Cass’ landmark report led to the dropping of puberty blockers across the UK > She has saved countless lives of minors and hopefully she will be recognized not threatened
These are crazy people, she is definitely at risk

They were angry at Lot for not bringing out the 2 angels so that they all could rape them. Over 4,000 years ago.
Genesis 19:4-11
King James Version
4 But before they lay down, the men of the city, even the men of Sodom, compassed the house round, both old and young, all the people from every quarter:
5 And they called unto Lot, and said unto him, Where are the men which came in to thee this night? bring them out unto us, that we may know them.
6 And Lot went out at the door unto them, and shut the door after him,
7 And said, I pray you, brethren, do not so wickedly.
8 Behold now, I have two daughters which have not known man; let me, I pray you, bring them out unto you, and do ye to them as is good in your eyes: only unto these men do nothing; for therefore came they under the shadow of my roof.
9 And they said, Stand back. And they said again, This one fellow came in to sojourn, and he will needs be a judge: now will we deal worse with thee, than with them. And they pressed sore upon the man, even Lot, and came near to break the door.
10 But the men put forth their hand, and pulled Lot into the house to them, and shut to the door.
11 And they smote the men that were at the door of the house with blindness, both small and great: so that they wearied themselves to find the door.

Interesting that Lot offered his daughters to a group of men to do what they want with them. Err.
Yep shocking 😮
But Lot knew that these were 2
Angels sent directly from God Himself
and he feared more letting harm
come to them under his roof
The Angels as we were about to learn
were more than capable of taking
care of themselves against the Sodomite mob
This is what a Satanic cesspool looks like. Coming to the former US soon.
Not present in our supposed enemy nations, though.
Like the rest of the Left’s activists, they are fascists trying to shut down opposing views.
