The perspective of service users is briefly considered at the start of Chapter 13 on "Medical Pathways"

Speech bubble, cited as being from "Young person, Lived experience focus group", which reads "“I just wanted to get my bloody hormones,
that was what I was there for, that’s what I
wanted, that would’ve been my therapy, all
my distress was related to needing to get on
hormones and I was expressing this, I had a
trans history, I was clearly aware of what I
wanted and what care was on offer."

But this is not a perspective that Cass acknowledges, highlighting instead that service users need more information, including information about detransition (as per §13.4).

SCREENSHOT: 13.3 For those who are considering a medical
transition, there is a strong sense among
service users that this should be facilitated
by the NHS, but a recognition that there is a
need for better information on which to base
decisions/consent.
