Prisoner denied GRS - court case.

Time for the NHS to refuse any surgery or hormones in all circumstances.

The NHS pathway provides 8 sessions of facial hair removal, limited voice therapy, HRT and Gender Reassignment Surgery.

Anything else must be paid for privately.

A GRC has never required anyone to undergo surgery as a recognition that not all trans people are able to undergo the procedure.

Regardless access is not governed by whether a person holds a GRC, as less than 20% of all transitioned people have applied for one.

As of earlier this year, and following successful lobbying by yourselves, a dedicated wing for trans women who would pose a risk to the general female prison population was created and, last I heard, three people were being held there.

One or the other, if GRCs provide a legal fiction of access.

Either GRCs are taken very seriously, with major gatekeeping, full SRS, and committing any sexual offence means immediate refusal or cancelling of GRC without time limits applying

Or

Hand out GRCs like sweeties, anyone can have one, total respect for anyone regardless of situation and circumstance, but GRC exemptions and the EA are beefed up that this legal fiction does not mean access into protected single sex spaces for biological females.

Choose. Men can't have cake, eat cake, demand cake, insert cake and have it all ways.

And in which prison is this paedophile incarcerated?

Because if it's a women's prison - fuck this shit. And if it's a man's prison - what experience of living as a woman? Wearing lippy?

What exactly is involved in GRS?
Dental work? Removing body hair? Breast implants?
You don't need to surgically alter your genitals to obtain a GRC, do you? I didn't think so.

Ms Richards said GRS is "major, irreversible surgery which may destroy existing parts of a patient's body, personality and sexuality".

Hang on..... Yet we are meant to allow children and vulnerable young adults to be put on a pathway towards this procedure before they are fully able to understand the gravity of this decision because......??

It seems extraordinary that this person should win the right to have their way here. I do hope they lose. Really - if for no other reason, there are more important things to spend available public money on right now. In fact why is it even going as far as court? Who is paying for that?
