“Wait times for each clinic vary massively, from just three months in Nottingham, to 41 years in Belfast, and a staggering 224 years in Glasgow”
That’s mental, but Streeting endorses the Cass Report so nothing will change.
That’s so upsetting. Just a kid with no hope, and we could give her that so easy as a society. This is what people like Rowling want to happen.
We need much better Trans healthcare. The Cass report was very clear on this, much more needs to be done to bring down wait times and provide better care for trans people.
Unfortunately, the entire debate is toxic due the extremists on both sides.
It’d save the NHS money and resources to get rid of gender clinics and moved to informed consent for any over 18, btw. They’re wasting public money on being this shitty to trans people.
What was she waiting for, a sex change operation? If so, why should that be a priority for the NHS, which is essentially funded by you and me, to save people’s lives from threatening medical conditions? As I see it, the NHS is failing across the board, it’s not just trans people that are being let down. I’m currently waiting years for an operation myself. If I could afford to go private I would.
The bit that always got me about the debate around trans people in sports was how it ***totally*** misses this part of trans experience in the UK, and apparently no one raising that with the state of current care, the chances of a trans person with an interest in elite-level competitive sports actually being enabled to transition while they’re still at an age where this kind of career is still a realistic prospect are basically zero.
Yup
I waited 2 months for my FIRST appointment after I said I have suicidal thoughts.
Have I not gone private… Fuck NHS mental help. It doesn’t exist.

She died in 2015 and we’re only just now getting this? Even in death the government is making her wait.
So…the goal in the UK is to get rid of all of these clinics entirely and essentially ban trans people from participating in society.
When coroners are explaining that this is killing them…what then? We just accept these deaths as somehow worth it for not seeing trans people around us? Why?
