Wasn't quite expecting this from the BMA (British Medical Association), but they have come out fighting against the Cass Review

https://www.bma.org.uk/bma-media-centre/bma-to-undertake-an-evaluation-of-the-cass-review-on-gender-identity-services-for-children-and-young-people

Here are some highlights for those who don't want to follow the link:

Members of the BMA's Council recently voted in favour of a motion which asked the Association to 'publicly critique the Cass Review', after doctors and academics in several countries, including the UK, voiced concern about weaknesses in the methodologies used in the Review and problems arising from the implementation of some of the recommendations.

This is followed by:

The BMA is calling for a pause to the implementation of the Cass Review's recommendations whilst the task and finish group carries out its work. It is expected to be completed towards the end of this year. In the meantime, the BMA believes transgender and gender-diverse patients should continue to receive specialist healthcare, regardless of their age.

And then by:

The BMA has been critical of proposals to ban the prescribing of puberty blockers to children and young people with gender dysphoria, calling instead for more research to help form a solid evidence base for children's care – not just in gender dysphoria but more widely in paediatric treatments. The Association believes clinicians, patients and families should make decisions about treatment on the best available evidence, not politicians.

This feels like a real middle finger up to Wes Streeting🖕 who recently proposed making the ban permanent as the new UK Secretary of State for Health and Social Care.
