Dr Hilary Cass has achieved what many thought was impossible. She has brought about something close to consensus on one of the most toxic and divided issues of our time: how best to care for children who are questioning or distressed about their gender identity. She has done so with calm, compassionate and evidence-based writing and reasoning in the publication of the most comprehensive review ever undertaken into youth gender care.
Taking nearly four years to complete, the Cass Review was informed by meetings with more than 1,000 people, seven new evidence reviews, and a survey of 15 gender clinics across Europe. Her team says the final report has been downloaded more than 125,000 times, in 176 countries across all continents.
