Take Action to Restore Access to Gender‑Affirming Surgeries in Wales – TransActual
The Welsh Gender Service has been instructed to stop referring people for surgery, and people who already had surgery dates booked have had their surgeries cancelled without any warning. This includes people who were already in hospital ready for their operations.

Full post from Sherborne Pride Facebook page
PLEASE SHARE THIS FAR AND WIDE
It’s easy to show up for Pride when there are flags flying, music playing, performances to share and glitter on our faces.
BUT, we are heartbroken today and this is when showing up really matters.
Last night, a member of our Pride community was surrounded by a group and violently attacked close to her home in the Cale Park area of Wincanton. She has been left with a split lip, a black eye and bruised ribs. Her family have told us this is being treated as a hate crime.
We won’t name her. But we want you to know something about her. She came to her first Sherborne Pride alone, without telling her mum.
One of our team spoke to her that day. Afterwards, when we were all emotional and swapping the moments and people we’d remember, she was one of them. The brilliant human in the knight’s helmet with the rainbow Christmas tree, right at the front of our parade, beside us. Someone we remembered for being brave enough to come alone. 
This year’s Pride her mum knew about Sherborne Pride and proudly came along with her, I personally met her on the day and shared a beautiful conversation. 
Last night, her mum reached out to us for help.
That has broken our hearts. Because this is why Pride exists.
Not just for the sequins and the party. For the night somebody is attacked. For the morning after. For the frightened parent who doesn’t know how to make people listen. For making damn sure that hate is not allowed to happen quietly.
So today we need our community — and everyone who has ever stood beside it — to be loud.
Share what happened. Share this post. Help it travel beyond our own little corner of the internet. Help make sure it is seen, recorded and heard by the people with the responsibility and power to act. The police MUST act. 
If you witnessed the attack or have information that could help identify those responsible, please contact the police. Please do not speculate publicly, name individuals or take matters into your own hands.
To the very…Photograph of pride parade
