Joined July 2022
the inquest into Alice’s death concluded today. the coroner recognised that the 1,023 days Alice spent on the Gender Identity Clinic waiting list had a devastating impact on Alice’s mental health and said that GPs lack clarity in how to support young trans people

*correction that Alice was 16 when she first sought care and 17 when she was put on a waiting list (after being dismissed by her GP the first time which delayed her referral for a year).

@hen10freeman Asking for healthcare for one group of people does not imply healthcare should be taken away from anyone else. It's an outrage that people have to pay for their own prosthetics and wheelchairs. We deserve a world where everyone lives in dignity and has access to free healthcare.

We think the waiting list is even longer that 10 years - the coroner at Alice's inquest found that 'If the service continues to follow the same trajectory, then an individual referred today may be waiting in excess of 20 years for a first appointment.'

@Transwthnoplan they are legally required to respond within 56 days of the report being published. we're ready to stand outside NHS England with megaphones if we don't think they're listening...

@wandsingh I'm so sorry to hear that Dawn. It has been so devastating hearing from the family members of other young trans people who have taken their own lives. We know that unbearable pain and are campaigning for them all <3

We have all cried for Corei today. His mother is now suffering transphobic abuse, just as we do when we speak about Alice's death. There are no words for the pain of knowing that some people dedicate their lives to the cause of making young trans people's lives harder to live.
