Because nothing threatens us more than a well-argued, peer-reviewed critique that doesn’t agree with our vibes.
Leveraging the name and credibility of Yale University (a known hive of knowledge and therefore suspect), the McNamara et al. paper has been deeply upsetting to those of us who prefer our evidence filtered through moral panic and misused systematic reviews. Rather than engage in rigorous debate, we’ve assembled a helpful list of articles that repeat the same core complaint: how dare a group of international experts call out the ideological misuse of the Cass Review?
On this page, we unpack the dangerous idea that trans youth deserve thoughtful care, and expose the real agendabehind the Yale authors: peer-reviewed compassion, rigorous analysis, and the gall to call our bluff. Please enjoy our echo chamber of rebuttals — each one slightly reworded, increasingly defensive, and firmly committed to protecting the Cass Review from scrutiny.
