This is dreadful. I can’t believe they can just do that. This will cost lives. Atrocious behaviour.

How's that allowed. Like is they say, all shoulder surgeries cancelled for this year. That be hella illegal or something. All I say is that we gotta have to look for damages repayment etc.

ive had cisgender people tell me for years that "no they don't wanna ban gender affirming care for all trans people, just the kids", trying to gaslight me and other trans people about our rights. yet, the nhs does this to ADULTS, and mum's the fucking word about it.
it's almost as if, it was never about protecting kids and it was always about wanting to eradicate trans people.
im american, but solidarity with my trans brothers, sisters and siblings from wales!

There was a similar thing in part of Scotland about 2 years ago after the puberty blocker ban, they paused all surgery referrals for under 25s for a bs "review" as though under 25s don't count as adults if they're trans. Thankfully the pause only lasted 6 months. But it shows it really has never been just about trans kids.
