Two biological men a day – including teenagers – are undergoing irreversible, taxpayer-funded trans surgeries on the NHS. The Telegraph has the story.
Around £20 million in taxpayers’ money was spent on “feminising genital surgery” for biological men, including teenagers, over the course of three years, despite warnings that the procedure causes long-term harm.
A series of freedom of information requests show that 18-year-olds were among those going under the knife to have the “irreversible” surgery that will leave them infertile.
On Saturday, clinicians called on the NHS to carry out an urgent review, saying it is “unethical” to be carrying out these procedures without evidence of the long term impact.
