CASS REVIEW
Dr Hilary Cass 'surprised by homophobia' during review of gender identity services
The chair of the Cass Review has told MSPs she was "surprised" by persistent levels of homophobia as well as transphobia during her review into gender identity services, as she noted that a "very high percentage" of the young people seeking help are same-sex attracted. Giving evidence to Holyrood's Health and Social Care Committee, Dr Hilary Cass said it was easy to see "how the two things could get conflated".
