Petition: Legally enshrine the right of adults to physically transition using NHS services

Introduce a law to legally protect the right of those aged 18 and over to transition using NHS services. This should specifically cover physical transition, including hormone treatment and surgery, as otherwise I believe it could potentially be interpreted as including conversion therapy.

@clacksee

I've boosted this toot. Will they do anything besides discuss this in the parliament?

p.s.: you'all will need more than 100,000 votes to counteract any invalid ones. From 14,000 to 40,000 extra votes.

@SleepyCatten since you hide boosts, in case you haven't seen it yet ^
(And now, I hope Fedi will show you the message I'm replying to x))
@koalou We signed this one already, but we'll give it a boost 🩷
@clacksee signed a while ago but giving it a boost
@clacksee Dont remember signing that one but it says I have (mentioning just in case its a problem and other people are getting the same message)
@RavenLuni
It was the same for me.
@clacksee possible problem with the site then - that would stop it getting signatures
@RavenLuni
No, just means I signed it at some point in the last five months.

@clacksee Seems to work.
Now at 78951 signatures

Or " 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 0 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 0 , 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 0 5 4 3 2 1 0 1 0 signatures" as copy/paste would have it.

@clacksee I would sign if I could! Good luck getting those signatures

@clacksee wait, did it mean anybody will be able to do a transition for free? Cool.
@nikhotmsk
I mean, they can. The problem right now is that the wait list is multiple years long. This is just to ensure that the government doesn’t remove that right.
@clacksee
Signed, making it 80,000 exactly. :-)
@clacksee Extremely sad that whoever made this petition felt they had to compromise by including "aged 18 and over", but I guess sometimes one step at a time is the correct approach.
@mcc
Yeah, one step at a time. I think this was set up in response to Streeting announcing kids couldn’t transition. So it’s very much, ‘Please don’t take the right from the rest of us.’ But yes, it should include kids.
