This sounds like good news, doesn’t it?
But in fact the headline on the STV News website – whether intentionally, through innocent misunderstanding or, as we suspect, a result of being deliberately misled by government ministers – is a flat-out lie.
In fact the Scottish Government has done the exact opposite. It has taken Dr Hilary Cass’s four-year report and set it on fire, so that it can continue to irreversibly destroy the lives of Scottish children in the name of gender ideology.
You don’t have to read very far into the article to see what’s really happened.
Far from accepting the findings of the actual Cass Review, the Scottish Government has accepted the findings of its own report into the findings of the Cass Review.
But even then, the piece misrepresents the reality.
The section highlighted above is precisely what is NOT going to happen, and we know this because the minister responsible tells us so.
The document mentioned above was published yesterday, along with a whole slew of supporting materials which make clear that the Scottish Government’s overriding goal is to rush young people down a gender-transition pathway much faster than happens now – something which was again the exact opposite of Dr Cass’s recommendation.
And to that end, the new “National Standards” establish explicitly that patients should be prescribed cross-sex hormones immediately upon request, with no clinician involved, instructing NHS Scotland staff that “the basis for proceeding is primarily based upon someone’s self report”.
The guidance even instructs healthcare professionals that any patients who have been illegally sourcing black-market hormones by themselves should be supported and encouraged to continue doing so, with “non-judgemental advice”.
(The document quoted above expressly relates to both “Adults and young people”.)
And of course, parents will have no right to know about any of it.
There are thousands of words of boilerplate waffle and impenetrable jargon in the flurry of documentation that the Scottish Government released yesterday, but the few lines that we’ve highlighted above betray the reality of the situation and render everything else meaningless.
Far from being accepted, the findings of the Cass Review will be comprehensively ignored in Scotland. A maze of smoke and mirrors has been constructed to conceal the truth, but these new protocols and the accompanying guidance provide an easy route for anyone of any age to almost instantly access powerful and permanently life-altering medication without any meaningful scrutiny from a medical professional.
(Either by being prescribed them unquestioningly, or a nudge-nudge-wink-wink “Well, if you were to source them yourself on the black market through crooked grifting ghouls like Gender GP, or by deceiving your own doctor, we wouldn’t tell anyone”.)
If you weren’t sure how terrible the new standards were, you could reasonably deduce it by the enthusiastic response to the documents from (and the involvement in their development of), the extremely creepy government-funded lobby group Scottish Trans.
And you could probably also reach the same conclusion just from the astonishingly blatant lie that the minister in charge, Jenni Minto, told in the chamber yesterday.
(Because Wings readers know beyond the merest scrap of doubt that Scottish children ARE in fact being endlessly bombarded and indoctrinated with gender ideology propaganda at every level from nursery school upwards.)
But in fact the language is so clear – once you find the key passages buried in all the landfill – that it’s very easy to see for yourself. The Scottish Government plans to not only bulldoze the Cass Review itself, but any and all obstacles currently impeding vulnerable children being pumped full of wrong-sex hormones which will sterilise them, shorten their lives and cause countless other physical and mental issues.
(Ironically at the same time it’s slashing the mental-health budget.)
Make no mistake, readers. The Scottish Government has just announced its intention to create a production-line medical abattoir for children that it has itself brainwashed into believing they’ve been born in the wrong body and need to be “fixed”, and which will be kept from their parents.
We know that sounds like a hyperbolic statement, but unfortunately those facts are not in dispute. They’re written down in black and white above and you can also go onto the Scottish Government website and read them with your own eyes. That is simply what’s happening. The only thing we can’t tell you for certain is why.
