Stunned at @plaidcymru.bsky.social hurried capitulation this early on in their rise in #Wales - you know "The Party of Wales" just not, it seems #Transgender #Welsh citizens. SHAME, SHAME, SHAME on all of you nodding donkeys!
The decision was made by the NHS Wales Joint Commissioning Committee (NWJCC), who claim the decision was made after receiving complaints and “concerns." 

Yet they also admit - they are not aware of any patients who have been harmed - as a result of being referred for gender-affirming surgery. 

The only harm anyone has evidenced is the harm caused by the pause itself.

Today, on Facebook, a lot of people are frightened or offended by the word cis. It’s a thing we deal with a lot, and where we feel the question is genuine, we will answer. So often the question is disingenuous though, or comes from a clearly fake profile, which means it’s a hide, block or report 🤷‍♀️

Let’s focus on the real threats, which we see around us, every day, online and offline. Let trans+ people live their lives safely, peacefully and joyfully. We have work to do elsewhere
"A change of narrative because trans women are not a threat to cis women. In turn that should allow trans people to live their lives without fear, something every person deserves."
