Waiting, Funding, Dancing: The Crisis in Trans Healthcare
Transgender people in England are waiting an average of 7 years for an initial NHS appointment to access transition-related care, according to the latest data.
In light of the long waiting times, campaigners say over half of British trans people are turning to private healthcare. But with costs in the thousands, community fundraising has exploded to help get young people the care they say they need.
For those stuck on the NHS list however, the wait can be desperate and distressing. We talked to medical experts and the bereaved families of transgender patients who are campaigning for change. From doctors to activists, to trans people and their loved ones.
This is their story. Waiting, funding, dancing.
