I keep falling for this idea that as soon as a reasonable, rational, report on the harms of gender affirming care is released, people will take it seriously and stop harming children with this ideology. I truly believed the Cass Review was going to be that moment, even though other reports from Europe had been ignored, I thought the Cass Review would do the trick. Well, it didn't, science doesn't work when fighting against ideologues or religious zealots.

I'm sure I'll fall for it again, and I'll hope again, the moment the next review that shows the same harms every other review has shown comes out. But I'm a sucker for hope, and have an annoying habit of believing in people.
