The findings prompted the government to ban the use of puberty blockers for gender identity reasons – something now being challenged in the High Court.
The ban was introduced by the last Conservative government, but new Health Secretary Wes Streeting has decided to continue with it.
The stance has been criticised by one of the BMA’s council members, Dr Emma Runswick.
Earlier this week, she said on X that it was a “terrible political decision which will cause incredible harm to trans people”.
Dr Runswick said the ban should be reversed and that the Cass review had been criticised for “bias and poor methodology”.
In a statement, the BMA said: “We will continue with further work in this area to contribute positively to the provision of care and services to this often neglected population and will be setting out the BMA’s stance in due course.”
