What a ridiculous comment: to put any particular group at the heart of the NHS - apart from the most sick, disabled or suffering of course - seems to go against its very ethos.

Yup, TRAs insisted that they be treated according to gender. If that means people miss out on health screening for their biological sex then that's TRAs fault.

Also are smears not accessible to TM?
Do they not receive the automated letter from their GP like other females?

Remember the trans man on Twitter outraged because their "life-threatening" need for a mastectomy should have, in their mind, have taken precedence on the waiting list over a woman with breast cancer?

However, the article seems to suggest an interesting change of tack from Miller on the GRA reform.

There was only 1 health service listed that is apparently difficult to access. What are the others?

Also are smears not accessible to TM?

Do thay not understand that having a cervix means they are at risk of cervical cancer?

I am yet to be convinced TP are failed by the NHS for basic healthcare simply because they are trans.
