We hope the dust will now settle on misinformation that’s been shared about the Cass Review since its publication on April 10. However some of that misinformation has already spread from social media to mainstream outlets. We’ve compiled a short but sound list which should give you everything you need when faced with these claims in scripts or from contributors, or in any Cass or gender story follow up. Remember one claim about cherrypicked studies was made by a contributor talking about their ‘lived experience’ on the BBC - these allegations can pop up any time and you need to be ready.
Canadian here, so up to the elbows in garbage disinformation about the Cass review….
I’ve seen something making the rounds, I think touted by Erin Reed, that Dr. Cass “walked back” the recommendations in the review when speaking to the Kite Trust? But then refused to “stand behind” the review?
I was trying to get to the bottom of it and then gave up…
I’m realizing that’s how this whole game works. TRAs take a tiny thing, distort it and put it on blast and then say, this went unanswered, to suggest bigger flaws or a grand conspiracy.
It’s maddening and exhausting. Which is guess is the point.
Thank you. Sorry for the delay in replying. That’s a shocking article. We’ve also had comment from Australia about the terrible state of the press there. We need SEENs in both those countries to start bringing accuracy and impartiality back to the forefront.
Billy Prat should sit this one down, the man is a fool. Before twitting he might want to read the actual report, just to see he got the facts right, instead of just parroting crap he picks up from the other converts🥴
Thank you for this.

Thanks again. And be glad you’re not in Canada, where the national broadcaster published this

God I hate the Guardian.
