An eye-opening new report has revealed some trans adults are waiting decades, and in some areas, centuries, for an NHS gender clinic appointment

The wait varies widely around the UK, according to QueerAF. Times can range from three years in Nottingham, to 41 years in Belfast and a staggering 224 years in Glasgow.

    Ah yeah sorry. I’m not entirely sure what counts as politics and what doesn’t 😅 feel free to remove one of the posts if you wish

      It’s okay, I’m not super-fussed about it happening as a one-off, more intended as a ‘for the future’ reminder. The rule’s mainly there to make sure people don’t spam about their hobby horses, and this obviously isn’t that!

      Obviously there’s a grey area with ‘UK’ vs. ‘UK politics’. I’d say this is more ‘UK’, whereas an article about a parliamentary or governmental response to the same would be ‘UK politics’, if that makes sense.

      Please do keep posting stuff!
