I have been listening for over 10 years and love every episode. Love how if they do get something wrong, they are happy admit it in the next episode and update with what is correct.

The Cass review was undertaken by "Experts" in the field over a long period of time. It also looked at how pubity blockers have been used.... They are not good or bad.... The point Feelings are now valid, then you open the door to Eugenics, Homeopathy and many other non scientific. There is already a category for these people DSD... They are not men or women.... The review was directed at the whole system being used. you focused on one small part.

The DC argument... DC requires way more insulation and current breaking capacity. At lower voltage it's actually much more dangerous, it's possible for a DC fault to not trip the protection until a lot of damage has been done, where the wave point of 0v, of an AC supply allows very accurate and swift circuit breaking. DC was used and is used on tram systems today, the DC motors run better. its not an issue of hard to change, it's safety in the transmission system.
