Disgusting. Cathal Crotty should be in jail.
Instead Crotty still works as solider at Sarsfield Barracks and was described by Commandant Paul Togher as an “exemplary”, “courteous”, “professional” and “disciplined” officer.
He is actually a criminal and violent miosgynist.
"As I lay in the foetal position, and losing consciousness, he continued his relentless beating. My last conscious thought was 'he’s not stopping, I’m going to die’.

Here's a brief summary of my take on the

This review was not rigorous especially in relation to puberty blockers & hormone therapy.
133

We also identified numerous claims that Cass makes that are not supported, or even contradicted, by the existing evidence - a sign of her lack of expertise in this area. Additional unsupported claims made in the

are identified in this paper:

@ColetteColfer
I've been patient & polite with you. I've provided critique based on the best practice standards for SR methodology - hardly clutching at straws. You don't have any original critique, or evidence, or expertise on health research to support your points. That is surely ideological?
40

148
They excluded 36% & 48% of studies for hormone therapy & puberty blockers respectively using this flawed approach but for some reason did not use this approach in their other reviews. Why arbitrarily use this flawed approach in these two most controversial of topics? Motivated?
17
10
145
It is vital to note that other systematic reviews of puberty blockers & hormone therapy for gender diverse young people, & other clinical guidelines come to much more positive conclusions than the

, which also ignores the risks of delaying or denying these options.

Using a tool from evidence-based medicine called the Risk of Bias in Systematic Reviews (ROBIS), assessed issues related to (1) study eligibility criteria, (2) identification and selection of studies, (3) data collection and study appraisal, and (4) synthesis and findings.

The authors fail to demonstrate that the observed increase in gender dysphoria is either unexpected or of concern, yet the assumption of both underpins the Cass Review and its commissioning. They also fail to test related claims adequately (or at all, at times).

These flaws have not prevented proponents of the

Other key aspects of systematic methodological standards that the Cass systematic reviews failed:
1. Did not involve key users and stakeholders
2. Only assessed study quality in 4/6 reviews
3. Study quality should not be quantified
4. Studies should not be excluded on quality.

We found that for most of these domains, most of the systematic reviews were at high risk of bias. All of the systematic reviews were judged to be at an overall high risk of bias. These judgments were made by two independent reviewers according to the ROBIS established criteria.

The qualitative research does not explain its analysis or consider reflexivity and positionality (where the researcher stands in relationship to the research).
This means it ignores important indicators of rigour in qualitative research of healthcare in favour of basic summaries.

Disappointing & cynical opportunism here from Mary Lou McDonald, who I usually greatly respect. No amount of govt ineptitude justifies the racist actions of those running the blockade in Inch. We're all frustrated and angry with this govt & that should only be directed at them.
The blockade at a hotel housing asylum seekers in Inch, Co Clare is reflecting a real frustration and anger with the Government, Sinn Féin leader Mary Lou McDonald has said, and responsibility lies with them

The science is clear - people living with HIV who are taking their medication cannot transmit the virus to others. The results of a major study called PARTNERS-2 showed that the out of over 75,000 instances of condomless sex in male couples, 0 transmissions of HIV occurred.

Fantastic. PrEP is an incredible development for the prevention of HIV transmission and the empowerment of communities affected by HIV. It can have a real impact if it is made accessible in an equitable way.
