Much-discussed transgender law scrapped after two calls from parliament
NOS Nieuws
State Secretary Struycken of Legal Protection (NSC) has withdrawn the transgender bill. Among other things, the bill was intended to simplify the procedure for changing the gender designation in a person’s passport. Anyone wishing to change this designation currently requires a statement from an expert. The bill would have abolished this requirement. Furthermore, according to the proposal, young people under the age of 16 would also be able to change their registration.

Supreme Court’s ‘woman’ ruling is a blow to gender ideology
Unherd
Joan Smith
Gender means biological sex. A woman is a biological woman. On Wednesday 16 April, the British Supreme Court unanimously confirmed this. This ruling on the gender issue is a victory for the rights of women, lesbians and common sense. Without a doubt, this is a milestone in history.

What Insights Does Evidence-Based Medicine Offer in 2024?
Scilight
Beryl Koener, Alexandre Ledrait and Céline Masson
The evidence suggests the arguments supporting the use of early interventions such as puberty blockers and cross-sex hormones are not sufficiently supported by scientific evidence. Concerns regarding the long-term effects and ethical implications of current treatments are raised. Moreover, the article advocates for a more holistic approach to care, prioritizing evidence-based principles and addressing the mental health needs of these young people.

Why are BMA Council’s confidential discussions on the Cass Review a matter of public interest?
The New Statesman
Hannah Barnes
That a significant number of the trade union’s governing body were contemplating a rejection of the Cass Report is something that the BMA should be open about.
What was the wording of the final motion the BMA Council voted on? And how did its members vote? I think BMA members and the public, whom so many of them dutifully serve, have a right to know.

The heavy representation of members of WPATH on the GDG has always been a concern, but this concern has now been increased by a new development.

Breaking News: What Future for WPATH as Membership Plummets?
Critical Therapy Antidote
Peter Jenkins
The future for gender affirming healthcare at a global level now looks rather uncertain. WPATH global membership stood at 4,119 in January 2023. As of 4th January 2024, it stood at 1,590. If taken as correct, the figures represent a massive fall in global WPATH membership in the order of a 60% drop within the space of a year. This seems to be an important development, the full causes and significance of which remain yet to be clarified.

Dutch experts: evidence gender treatment insufficient
The research on which medical treatment for transgender youth in the Netherlands is based is scientifically flawed. So say four leading methodologists and a professor of remedial education to Zembla.

Nina Power
Today, the boyish girl is in danger of being told she was “born in the wrong body,” and whisked off to a gender clinic. Setting children on this path is an obvious grotesque harm.
