The Cass Report is big news, an absolute game changer wrt trans-identifying young people, and it's getting a lot of coverage and generating a lot of important discussions. We'd like to keep content and commentary to one post so that it doesn't dominate the entire circle and so that the resources don't get all split up. This megathread aims to collect every useful link in one place for easy reference.
I'm going to start by adding all the press coverage I'm aware of, then collate discussion threads on Ovarit.
Please can we keep this conversation in here after this point. I'll be updating this post as I find more content and will add anything relevant to this post that our users put in the comments.

Miscellaneous
Iâm a believer in the substitution hypothesis ie that humanity is predisposed for some sort of religious belief (or need to believe in something bigger in ourselves that we can share with others) and if no religion is available something else will take its place which will be given the same devotion and need to proselytise and inspire destructive impulses. Soviet communism and Maoism are examples as is the TRA cult. I think organised religion is almost a necessity (in evolutionary, psychological, and sociological terms) in civilisations where living in groups of more than 150 is the norm as itâs a common bond and reference point that can tie a community together. If itâs not organised religion itâll be something else and so far the âsomething elsesâ are more horrifying.
