So many great stories I missed... Let's make an effort to make up the ground.

King Arthur may have been LGBT because he once wore women's clothing, says Welsh council


Quote:
Despite no definitive mention of Arthur's sexual persuasion, he has still been included in Denbighshire council's LGBTQ+ timeline.

The timeline was created as a result of Welsh Government commissioned training in LGBTQ+ Language and History for local libraries, museums, and archives.

An in-depth feature in the London Times, behind paywall but can be accessed here

Six months on, how has the Cass Review reshaped gender medicine?

Implementing the findings of the report by Dr Hilary Cass has meant overcoming ‘disinformation’ from US sources spread by the British Medical Association

Quote:
The retired paediatrician, now Baroness Cass of Barnet, had spent four years meticulously researching the most toxic and complex question in modern healthcare: how should we care for transgender children? The fact that she has emerged from the other side a universally respected crossbench peer is a remarkable testament to the impact of her 388-page report, which found no good evidence to support the prescribing of sex hormones to under-18s.

Six months on from the Cass Review, the medical landscape has been permanently reshaped: puberty blockers are illegal, the controversial gender clinic at the Tavistock has shut and new NHS services providing “holistic” care are up and running.

This is despite Cass having to contend with a wave of “misinformation” which, it can be revealed, largely originated in the United States and has been spread by groups including the British Medical Association (BMA). Cass believes the political backing for her report’s 32 recommendations have been crucial to its success, telling The Times this week that the “broad cross-party support means it didn’t become a political hostage to fortune”.

On Friday Wes Streeting, the health secretary, expressed his gratitude to Cass, saying her thorough evidence-based review meant that, at last, “we are taking politics out of children’s medicine”.

While Cass has commanded support from across the political spectrum and within the NHS, she has faced an unexpected backlash from an ideologically driven “vocal minority” of fellow doctors. A pocket of influential figures within the BMA attempted to halt the implementation of the Cass Review this summer by seizing on an error-strewn online paper published by academics and lawyers in the United States.
