But whenever the subject of the Cass report comes up, the New Statesman fails to include any trans voices or perspectives. The recent interview with Cass and its writeup by Hannah Barnes fawn over her and the report uncritically rather than making any attempt to challenge the report’s many and numerous shortcomings — well documented by other journalists like Owen Jones and Freddy McConnell. Serious, evidence-based criticisms are swatted away without engagement.
