I'm really wondering about the future of trans health care in the UK. I can understand the need for clinical trials and it's a real shame they haven't been done yet, but what is being done about the excessive wait times for people to even get an assessment?

as i understand: nothing. maybe if Keir Starmer wins the next election it'll eventually get better, but he's not been too promising on queer rights either from what i've seen in headlines.
