@spoonitoria That's odd, I just got an FoI back mentioning conversion therapy in the NGS's own governance committee minutes from October 2023.

The NGS have today again refused an FOI request for any records they have that mention conversion therapy saying they have none, making it pretty obvious the Sindo is doing client journalism for medics who don’t want any public accountability brought to bear on their conjectures

The waiting list for the National Gender Service has now hit more than a decade. This information comes as a result of the stellar work of @JesALady. the-beacon.ie/2024/02/08/nat…

The National Gender Service has now surpassed a decade, a reveal not shocking to any trans person! While the likes of Karl Neff and Donal O'Shea will blame underfunding, we know you can throw as much money as you want at the NGS, it will never be fixed. the-beacon.ie/2024/02/08/nat…

The latest from @JesALady: "So how long is the waiting list? It looks like somewhere around 10-13 years, with the uncertainty down to it being unclear how many people are actually waiting as well as how many people were removed from the list in 2023". the-beacon.ie/2024/02/08/nat…

@spoonitoria It might be with SJOG, you want the community person on sjogcommunityservices.ie/freedom-of-inf… Incidentally, I just sent in an FoI to the DCEIY for this. Happy to collaborate on this.

Well this is strange as I got an FOI rejected on this topic as the medics said they’ve no records on it

Does the National Gender Service really believe that hormone blood tests don’t indicate risk? By @JesALady the-beacon.ie/2023/11/17/doe…

Learn more about the protest on Saturday against how the non-HSE approved NGS tells GP to deny trans patients healthcare.

@spoonitoria Also, just got a copy of the FoI mentioned in the article and happy to share if you can DM me.

@spoonitoria Could I get copies of those please, including the wording of the original request? Those were on my FoI ideas backlog. I find the decision maker lovely to deal with.

(Yes I’ve had two FOI decisions from them today . I’m probably on their FOI decision maker’s list of enemies)

Today is #TransDayOfVisibility. Be sure to support and boost your trans friends and groups. And if you're interested, we have a series of articles about the trans community and healthcare that we've published over the last few years. the-beacon.ie/tag/trans-righ…

Terry whomst, at a book signing, asked my name, and being a young egg, I told him, adding "for now" so he leaned in, asked what it *will* be, and signed my copy of Guards Guards ambiguously enough that it can be read either way. He was the first human to know of Tal

We are disappointed to hear that the waiting list for #transHealthcare has hit 9 years in Ireland, a GP-lead informed consent approach would quickly resolve this. the-beacon.ie/2023/01/23/the…
