So in terms of funding, it’s tiny. How many people who have transitioned do you onow? Puts it in perspective.

My opinion wouldnt change, but as mother would support my child and do what I to help them achieve their goal, and would probably look into fund raising loans etc.

So does this mean that you would be happy to give up your sick childs place on the surgical waiting list, so that a transgender person could have there surgery instead? Like I said a limited budget sometimes means making harsh decisions.

Exactly my point ,its about priorities and a sex change is not a medical condition and certainly not a priority for NHS money ... If you want this type of op pay for it ....Simples

Forgot to add that I am an ex nurse, who once nursed (in her old age) the first ever British person to undergo transition surgery. It wasnt done on the NHS nor did she expect it. She was a lovely, caring, lively lady, who didnt expect everything to be handed to her on a plate, (ok that was probably a generational thing) she led an interesting life, and I was glad to have known her. I dont blame you for making genrelisations about people you dont know, its easy on line, its just not for me. Furthermore Im pretty sure that Im not the onlly one who finds it hard to make ends meet, without paying extra taxes. perhaps you dont work as yet.
