Background
Transgender people can wait 5 years or more for NHS gender care. Many are refused help by GPs. Gender-affirming treatment reduces depression and suicide risk. Care should be timely, respectful, and accessible. Equality must mean protection and dignity for all. Gender-affirming healthcare is essential and lifesaving, yet remains out of reach for many. The government must act to ensure equality, safety, and accessible care for all trans people.
