In another blow to the pro-trans movement, the United Kingdom’s National Health Service (NHS) will begin testing all transgender children for autism, which has usually been overlooked in favor of blanket gender reassignment procedures. Yes, the NHS has finally decided to apply a little common sense—something rarer than a sunny day in London.
This shift comes after the Cass Review, led by pediatrician Dr. Hilary Cass, revealed that many children experiencing gender-related distress also have underlying neurodevelopmental conditions. The review criticized the Tavistock clinic for rushing kids into medical interventions without thorough psychological assessments.
Under the new guidelines, a multidisciplinary team will evaluate each child’s mental health, family relationships, and developmental history. This holistic approach aims to address the root causes of distress rather than defaulting to irreversible medical treatments.
It's a refreshing change to see the NHS prioritize comprehensive care over ideological conformity. Perhaps this signals a return to evidence-based medicine and a move away from the one-size-fits-all approach that has dominated the discourse on gender identity in recent years.
