Have your voice heard by the government! (and what I've done this week)

Went to 'There is no word for it' book launch on Thursday. Then the Gendered Intelligence Trans Community Conference on Friday. Then Transpose on Sunday.

Could you tell the equalities officer about the NHS in Wales? Wales is basically a black hole for trans people - the NHS won't fund anything trans-related there, which is awful. I've known trans people who've had to move to England/Scotland just to get treatment! Maybe having a GIC in Cardiff would be useful.

@BlueZephyrTG cool man. I'll mentioning the distribution of care in with access of treatment

Hey man - good to see some news from you - been ages. In terms of the meeting it would be good to see some kind of action plan regarding the funding within the PCTs. They have an document (it's up on gires) produced centrally giving guidelines to NHS practitioners which is actually really good. Problem is that devolved power to the PCTs means it is rarely acted on and it comes down to postcode lotteries and a luck of the draw approach. Would be good to see one standard practise for all PCTs

@JACKOX44 That's great man, I'll write it down.
