The Cass report was not peer reviewed, and you've read that 🤔
I'm afraid you have been misinformed.
I wish I could take your incorrect statements seriously but alas they are not peer-reviewed and therefore meaningless. Please publish them appropriately so that we can finish this discussion 👍
So, I think you're relying on the technicality here that the final report itself wasn't peer reviewed, but was a synthesis of seven systematic reviews which were peer reviewed. I'm happy to acknowledge that, but your use of it as a "gotcha" is really rather dishonest.
The final report was not a synthesis of the systematic reviews that were conducted by York university. There was a great deal more in the report, including many trivial errors and a great deal of bizarre and often unscientific theorising.
As I wrote in my articles on the topic, I had very few issues with the work done by the York team. Generally well-done studies, although a few arguable points. The final Cass report, however, was filled with mistakes and went far beyond the data from the York team.
One of the useful things about peer review is it means you have to be able to demonstrate to other scientists that your arguments are systematic and address tangible and significant knowledge gaps in the literature. If you can't show that then why would I read your work?
Hilarious that you're spouting this while also praising the sham Cass Report that wasn't peer reviewed.
I'm afraid you have been misinformed.
The Cass Report is not peer reviewed. Your disdain for facts doesn't change the facts.

Lmfao, it's not a gotcha, it's reality. She has zero expertise in the subject and cherry picked bullshit based on her gut vibes. The Cass Report has repeatedly been debunked.
Cass was one of, if not the tope paediatrician in the entire country. She was absolutely world class. The idea that she lacked expertise in evidence-based treatment for mentally ill children is just ridiculous.
And you're still relying on the dishonest framing of the "Cass report" when what Cass actually lead was The Independent Review of Gender Identity Services for Children and Young People. The final report was just a synthesis of seven systemativ reviews. Here's links to them:
Actual experts debunked this repeatedly. Clinging to the notion it doesn't need to be peer reviewed because she cherry picked from other peer reviews is nonsense. bmcmedresmethodol.biomedcentral.com/articles/10....

LOL do you even know who "Natacha Kennedy" is???
Interestingly there's only six systematic reviews listed on the journal's website. I wonder where the seventh is? web.archive.org/web/20240410...
