Understand the LGBTQIA+ headlines and keep track of the latest queer content and perspectives. QueerAF is written by Jamie Wareham and another queer creative each week.

💬 This week:

• BMA: The British Medical Association, one of the UK's most respected medical organisations, says it plans to do an independent review of the report. We explore how much that could fundamentally undermine its methodology and validity. 
• Imane Khelif: A cisgender woman is facing accusations of being a man after a Russian-based organisation that lost its Olympic status called her one - we unpack the media storm. 
• Adultism: Looking beyond transphobia, is there a broader problem with how little agency we can afford all young people? The Queer Gaze explores.

Skip the doomscrolling and support queer creatives instead. We are QueerAF – and so are you.

The significance of the BMA reviewing the credibility of the Cass Review

TL;DR: The British Medical Association, one of the UK's most respected medical organisations, calling into question the credibility of The Cass Review should not be understated. If it joins the chorus of those condemning the report and leads to it being thrown out it could create a domino effect that puts every other decision made with the report as its basis into question.
