I’ve reached the point - well actually, I reached it a while ago - where I’m militantly anti-AI. Fine - use it in bioscience labs and radiology where it might help analyse data more effectively. Use it sparingly for systems engineering. Everywhere else, it can fuck off.

🏛️ Nearly every Plaid Cymru backbencher has demanded answers from the NHS on trans surgeries. In a joint letter, they asked what evidence, risk assessments, and consultations the NWJCC took in its decision. It's time for answers from NHS Wales.

Dear Mr Green,
RE: Pausing of gender-affirming surgeries by the NHS Wales Joint Commissioning
Committee
We are writing to express our profound disappointment at the abrupt pausing of planned operations within the Welsh Gender Service. The sudden nature of this decision by the NHS Wales Joint Commissioning Committee has left patients, many of whom have been preparing for surgery for months or years, without the care they were expecting and relying upon.
The impact on individuals and the wider trans community in Wales has been significant.
Understandably, this development has caused distress, fear, and a deep sense of uncertainty.
This comes at a time when the rights and dignity of trans people across the UK are increasingly under pressure. You will know that gender-affirming healthcare in Wales is clinician-led, patient-focused, and carefully paced; it is not rushed, nor undertaken lightly.
In light of this, we would like to raise the following urgent questions on behalf of our constituents and the wider community:
• Why has surgery been halted for a form of treatment that has among the highest levels of psychiatric screening and one of the lowest regret rates of any procedure offered by the NHS?
• What specifically is the cause for concern?
• What evidence informed this decision?
• Why were patient stakeholders not consulted before the decision was taken?
• Was any risk assessment carried out regarding the impact of cancelling treatment at such short notice? If not, why?
• What role, if any, did NHS England play in influencing or directing this decision?
• What is the scope of any review now underway, and when can we expect its conclusions?

Senedd Cymru
Welsh Parliament
Plaid Cymru
• When can patients expect surgeries to recommence?
• What safeguards are in place to protect patients' mental health during this pause?
• What commitment can be given to the continuation of therapies and hormone treatment during this period?
Patients deserve clarity, reassurance and a clear pathway forward. We would be grateful for a detailed response addressing each of the above points, together with confirmation of how the Welsh Gender Service intends to support those affected during this period of uncertainty.
This letter is also being copied to Suzanne Rankin and Kirsty Williams, Chief Executive and Chair of Cardiff and Vale University Health Board, given the board's role in administering the Welsh Gender Service.
We look forward to your reply.

🚨🚨Today the EHRC Code of Practice goes live. Our voices have been ignored. We will not stand for this. We will not stop until our rights are restored. The CoP does not change the law. Inclusion can happen. The vast majority of the public do not want this. WE WILL CONTINUE TO FIGHT 🏳️‍⚧️✊♥️

We Will Continue to Fight
Today should never have been the day that transgender people were forced to defend their right to live safely and equally. Their right to exist. Yet with the EHRC's Code of Practice now in force, that is the reality we face.

We refuse to accept a future in which our rights are dismantled piece by piece while those responsible insist that nothing fundamental has changed. Our rights are not a political bargaining chip. Our lives are not up for debate. Our existence is not something that can be negotiated away.
1/3

We Will Continue to Fight
At TACC, we will continue to challenge discrimination wherever it appears. We will continue to demand accountability from every institution that fails in its duty to uphold equality. We will continue to stand alongside transgender people, their families and our allies, because no one should be left to face this alone.

Equality was never supposed to be something that needed defending, but history has shown that rights survive only because ordinary people refuse to surrender them. We intend to be those people.
2/3

We Will Continue to Fight

Trans people have always existed. We always will. We will not be silenced. We will not be erased. We will continue to speak. We will continue to organise. We will continue to fight until human rights once again mean exactly what they are supposed to mean: rights for everyone. Trans Advocacy and Complaints Collective (TACC)

How is this “fair play” at all? Life isn’t supposed to be one continuous struggle. If the average person’s experience is this, then it’s the system that desperately needs to change, not people “adjusting” by forcing themselves through at the expense of their health and happiness.
