Teacher Speaks Against the Cass Report

On Sunday 14th April, a demonstration against the Cass Report was held in Manchester. Attendees were invited to speak including Connor, a teacher in Manchester who claims he only wants the best outcomes for young people. Connor thinks he is better qualified and more knowledgable than renowned paediatrician Dr Hilary Cass. Socially transitioning children is a psychological intervention with potentially lasting consequences and an insufficient evidence base, that should be informed by input from clinicians with appropriate training (Cass). Connor believes it is within his rights to socially transition any child that wishes it in his school, does not think that this needs to be reported to the child's parents, and is well aware this is against Government guidance for teachers. Connor thinks that children are safer in schools with activist teachers like him, than at home with their families. What is known as "safeguarding" Connor calls "layers of bureaucracy designed to keep young people down". If others don't do what Connor says he claims they are demonstrating an attack on young people with negative outcomes only - that mantra about what happens if young people are not allowed to 'transition'. We wonder why Connor wasn't asked to undertake a 4 year study and detailed report...

    I had to leave teaching because I would never be complicit with this insane ideology. And that's what happens in this environment, teachers who understand safeguarding are chased out. The government has to enforce its guideline otherwise it's over. As long as this stuff is in schools, it will percolate into the next generation, it will teach them there are some things which they should trust other adults about rather than their parents, that their home environment is unsafe if their parent doesn't want to put them on hormones or puberty blockers.

    Connor does not understand safeguarding. He needs to resign.

    What if a student wants them to do a small thing like use a nickname for another kid to make them feel more comfortable? What about those who feel uncomfortable watching their classmates and friends devolve into mental illness and the teacher encouraging it rather than actually helping them?

    Interesting how few people are with Connor here. People are realising what they been endorsing and are quickly pretending that they didn't know... I love how people like this constantly flit between using the phrase 'young people' and 'trans youth'. To be legally and ethically clear Connor, you are talking about children, minors who cannot consent. This blurring of lines and boundaries is significant and whilst I don't think most of that side are pae.....le's, some of them absolutely will be. Pushing for the concept of 'self-determination' for minors and promoting the idea that children 'know themselves' is dangerous as it ushers in ideas too about what they CAN consent to. Most adults will now recognise that 'trans' kids healthcare' really means the stunting of their natural development and pushing them towards disfiguring, mutilating, unecessary surgeries and all the awful, painful forthcoming complications that follow. 'Restricting their access to healthcare' means restricting access to procedures that will rob them of sexual function and fertility and make life-long patients of them.

    The problem is, teachers and others like Connor seem to really believe that what they are doing is in the best interests of young people. But they are not clinicians (although many clinicians are also getting it very wrong as we’ve seen from GIDS). We need to work from the best evidence we have and the best knowledge we have around child development. The scientific evidence in the Cass review goes against much of what Connor is espousing. He’s also being highly irresponsible in perpetuating a suicide myth that will be more likely to harm young people. People like Connor need to stop this hyperbole that society hates children who are gender non-conforming, confused and in distress. It’s reinforcing persecutory beliefs that again will harm them far more. No one hates these young kids for ‘who they are’. And anyway, relying on surgery/drugs is most definitely not the best way to achieve true acceptance of oneself.

    So you would support a student saying he or she is a cat or dog. You would call them a nickname if they asked? You know you are the adult here with safeguarding responsibility? This is the behaviour of a fool or a groomer

    School councelors should be working with parents and children together, stop effing triangulating families, teaching children to keep secrets. Teachers, just bloody teach!

    So if a CHILD tells that unbelievably stupid teacher that he/she identifies as a one legged CHILD, is he going to support them in getting their offending leg amputated and without informing the CHILD’s parents that their CHILD is struggling with their mental health? Of course not! So why on earth would any teacher think it’s ok to support a CHILD who is heading down a path that could eventually lead to the CHILD taking unlicensed hormones, breast binding or it’s equivalent, breast ironing, which is classed as CHILD abuse in the UK, mutilating their body, causing life long medical problems, permanent sterility and loss of any future sexual enjoyment? The vast majority of teachers have had no more than 90 minutes training on supporting CHILDREN who claim to be trans. The training is almost always provided by trans advocate self governing training providers. The overwhelming majority of teachers have had zero training on CHILD and ADOLESCENT mental health issues or on counselling CHILDREN, yet all of a sudden they are experts and so knowledgable on what the best course of action is for OTHER PEOPLES CHILDREN, who almost always have other contributing mental health issues, that they deem themselves above the rights and the roles of the CHILD’s parents, which in turn denies the parents the opportunity seek appropriately qualified mental health services before these ignorant, arrogant teachers have encouraged these mentally distresses CHILDREN on the path to something that many of them are likely to regret. Any teacher who goes against the findings and recommendations of the Cass Report, is a danger to CHILDREN and should be barred from teaching forever.
