Our NHS is being threatened with legal action for not funding fertility services for transgender individuals, before they undergo hormone treatments and sex change operations that lead to sterility.

This could push the NHS over the edge financially-then we'll all have to take out private medical insurance & lo & behold, pharmaceutical companies are profiting big time from children being being brainwashed into believing they're trans.

afraid I can't post a link but its out on twitter & believe the Independent covered it recently.

It was in a lot of the papars, TV & radio last Sunday:

The way it is being framed is that taking hormones and medically altering your body is "life-saving" and "absolutely essential" for a transgender person, NOT a lifestyle choice.

Someone who has cancer and whose has life saving and absolutely essential chemotherapy or surgery which removes their fertility should be entitled to being able to preserve their fertility on the NHS before treatment.

Therefore a transgender person should be treated in the same way.

That is the logic if you agree with the first statement.

Why does society support being lead by cluster B people?

they really need to get a paragraph in the consent form that the patient is agreeing to be sterilized.
both sexes would need to find someone either a partner or surrogate for any children they might want so it would fall on that person to have the treatment anyway.
