I filmed a video of my recent Spiked article on the implications of the Cass Review for gay rights.
Recorded for the Triggernometry YouTube page, which you can explore here.

This is in response to the Triggernometry video and the Winston Marshall interview:
I haven't as yet read the Cass Review final report, but I have a link to it. I know it has been covered by the major media outlets but I didn't want their spin on it, so have relied on yourself, Andrew, to unpick it, and may read the actual report in more detail later.
Overall, it seems positive and is sensible in approach. It was commissioned by the government and the NHS, and I dearly hope the relevant sections of the NHS follow its recommendations. The lukewarm responses from the likes of Stonewall and Mermaids don't impress me, but the cries from some that they have no intention of following it is worrying.
The one thing I disagreed with you on in the Winston Marshall interview, Andrew, was on the use of language in the report in order to appease the TRAs. The constructed language of Trans Activists who have pushed Gender Ideology is, in part, what has created this nightmare, including making irreversible decisions for confused kids. I truly feel none of us should be speaking that language anymore as it continues to reinforce dangerous concepts. Rather than being concerned with not alienating those who have contributed to bringing this about, namely Stonewall, Mermaids et al, I feel we should be working towards holding them to account. I'm no expert in the law, but surely there should now be some legal basis for taking them to court, bearing in mind how many people have been damaged by the intervention of gender services ideologically driven by these TRA organisations. It may be difficult to assess/prove their culpability in such a court case but I think if it were to be established then that their reputation would be in tatters, and the domino effect would happen in every part of life that Stonewall et al have infected with their ideology.
If you need more convincing about what I say about language then you need look no further than the transcript from 2000 on Mermaids' then position on Gender Identity. Not only was their position then far more sensible, it was not couched in the terms scared to the ideology, at that point not yet established. If we no longer speak the prescribed language, then we may well see what props it up crash to the ground.
It was great to hear what drives you, Andrew, at the end of the Winston Marshall interview. Like you, I can't go along with a lie. I do have a pseudonym as I fear that airing my views under my own name would cost me dearly professionally. Incidentally, I feel the corporate word is pretty much paying lip service to gender ideology as well as other woke tenets so as not to be tarred by any dirty brushes by other organisations. If the likes of Stonewall were to fall due to their influence in the area of gender services, then I'm sure the tide would turn and HR departments would waste no time in ridding themselves of their policies.
