The number to a su*cide hotline is so eerie. Makes my stomach drop. No one cares that we are literally DYING

It’s so tragic and felt so out of the blue, the Welsh gender services were easily the best in the UK, my Welsh trans friends all thought that they were the lucky ones on this island it’s insane

I got referred like 5 years ago. Still haven’t had an initial appointment. Turning 23 tomorrow. Funding my medical transition on my own ruined me.

as a Welsh person affected by this, the stupid thing is the number of patients is 800 in 2 years with the same rate of surgery regret which is less than 1%. it's also important to know that it comes from the right and gender criticals which say WGS refers people at 2-3x the rate at England bearing in mind Wales has a 2-4x shorter waiting list so they're basically being punished for their doing their job and treating patients.

Lord, have mercy. Canceling an appointment HOURS before the procedure and then giving them a suicide hotline?! That's EVIL. This policy is going to kill people. Senedd members and folks of good will have to do something to save lives!

The UK healthcare system is a straight up joke. This is the tip of the iceberg bc they just don't gaf. I was referred to a gender clinic 7 years ago and still have not heard anything. I'm now 20.

i got referred 8 years ago. surgery got delayed twice due to unexpected circumstances. now the whole fucking service has been paused with not even an estimate as to how long the inquiry will take. this will have a kill count

The fact that they gave them the suicide hotline number makes me sick cause it shows that they‘re fully aware of what this can and will lead to, they just don‘t care

I’ve been telling friends to come to wales because the gender health service actually works. And now they’ve just stopped it. My girlfriend has been on the list in england for yeeeaaarrrs and i don’t think they will get to her for another few long years. And that’s just for her initial appointment. She’s currently in such a deep depression I’ve never seen her in before and we’ve known eachother since school and she’s been through a lot. I want to help her but I just can’t and the systems that were supposed to help her are so broken. You can’t even fall back on the mental health system because it’s overwhelmed and underfunded and just poorly run also. I don’t know what to do I just know I’m watching everyone I love suffer.

I know weve been in a genocide for trans people for a while now, but this feels like the beginning of the end

What makes this scarier is the fact they got cancelled because a conservative blogger wrote a piece on a news site and that single-handedly caused this. A blogger caused a whole country’s healthcare for adults to stop.

The fact I called them today to ask where I was on the waiting list and the lady said “ welp have you seen the news so can’t help you out” said in a rude tone 🤷♂️( I already have a consultation for surgery booked 😭🤦♂️

I'm going broke paying for my own private gender affirming care because I literally couldn't cope with the idea of spending another SEVEN YEARS waiting for an initial appointment because they kicked me off the waitlist for being "too young" (i was within the age range to be referred as an adult even according to their fucking email). The NHS is a fucking joke when it comes to treating trans people and I'm so sick of it. They gave that hotline out because they knew exactly how fatal this would be to so many trans people.
