Trans people have a right to the same healthcare we all need
Across the country, trans people are being denied vital healthcare that has nothing to do with their gender identity – simply because they are trans.

Palantir cleared 183,000 patients from one hospital’s waiting list. Or did it? If you’ve heard ministers repeating that figure, you must read this exposé from @londonermag.bsky.social: www.the-londoner.co.uk/palantir-wai…
The serious questions surrounding ChelWest’s data cast a dark shadow over Palantir’s London poster child, a trust whose supposed success is being used to promote the tech company’s future role in the UK’s health system. And for groups like Foxglove, their concern is that the questionable data was still being used to justify a deeper involvement of Palantir in both the NHS and the state at large. “It is deeply worrying that figures that were at best marketing bumf and at worst actively misleading are being used to justify a semi-mandated rollout of the FDP across the UK,” Squirrell said. Or, as the doctor at ChelWest put it: “It’s very dangerous that you can misuse figures to suit whatever your intentions or goals and aims are, especially if that translates into money being put into the pocket of big companies. It makes me question what their intentions are.”
