Women seeking safety in the UK often experience sexual and gender-based violence in their countries of origin, on their journeys to safety, and again in the UK. Yet the latter is often overlooked, with women left with little support to seek justice, to heal, and to recover. 1/🧵

Over 80 clinicians, researchers and academics have signed an open letter raising serious concerns about NHS England’s recent evidence reviews of gender affirming hormone treatment for trans youth. Read the full letter here: transactual.org.uk/blog/2026/05...
Text reads: 80+ clinicians, researchers and academics criticise NHS England’s withdrawal of gender-affirming hormones for trans youth. Swipe to learn moreText reads: In March NHS England launched a public consultation on their updated prescribing policy for gender-affirming hormone therapy (GAHT) for trans youth. 

The new policy says GAHT can no longer be accessed before the age of 18. It was based on NHS England evidence reviews that had no clear rationale and a deeply-flawed methodology.

Swipe to learn moreText reads: This latest withdrawal of gender-affirming care is another example of shocking decision-making by NHS England.

Now, 85 clinicians, researchers and academics have written an open letter to Medical Director James Palmer, raising their concerns and demanding that the policy be reversed.
