The whole cass review is really just pantheon-level of believing in nothing but process with a sprinkling of science as an ersatzreligion. It's a paper I'd've failed to attain a bachelors degree with but it sounds all sciency and smart and it's long so obviously it is the basis for political action because look at the science, what is epistemology

Mind, I'm not labouring under the impression they wouldn't have found another fig leaf but I swear to god if I ever become king of the world everybody is getting force-learned epistemology

Kids in high schools have to write better papers than the Cass Review to get passing grades. She cites a Reddit poll at a point. Reddit poll.

But no, more than forty years of various studies about satisfaction of surgery and hormones is the real weak science here.

I have trouble believing anybody except people who have never read another study will look at this review and think anything serious is within it. The "journalist" grifters pushing this have to know that it is a pile of nothing.

I believe in the even more dire option here; they just don't honestly don't. Journalists, at large, not having the first fucking clue about science or epistemology is such a widespread phenomenon I'm like 90% sure shit gets beat ouf ot them in whatever training they get
