The NHS has created a new programme to provide free female-to-male transgender surgery.<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A new in-house NHS medical service will provide free female-to-male transgender surgery, it has been disclosed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

NHS England has inked an agreement with a renowned London hospital to provide ‘masculinizing surgical treatment’ to transgender patients born as women, some of whom are still minors, who believe they are living ‘in the wrong body.’<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The procedures, which are estimated to cost thousands of pounds each, will include the construction of male genitalia as well as the removal of wombs and ovaries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

‘There are currently no NHS providers for this nationally,’ according to a job advertisement for a coordinator of the ‘gender affirming’ service to be launched by the Chelsea and Westminster Hospital. This is an once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It claims to provide transgender patients over the age of 17 and “option” of operation date at a time that is convenient for them. The introduction of the new service, which is publicly funded by the NHS and has a backlog of six million patients with waiting periods that extend into 2024, sparked outrage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

‘The new programme is explicitly targeting females, often at a very vulnerable age in school or college, who believe they want to be male,’ said Stephanie Davies-Arai, leader of Transgender Trend, a parents’ organization questioning gender theory in education.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Masculinizing surgery entails… extensive surgery on female bodies that cannot be reversed. There has been no research on whether people who have these irreversible surgeries later change their minds.’<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The NHS presently provides surgery to women over the age of 17. Hysterectomies, penis and scrotum construction are also available.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

People who are impatient for NHS transgender treatments are turning to crowdfunding to pay for ‘top and bottom’ operations at private hospitals due to long wait times.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some are in their late twenties and early thirties. Referrals to London’s Tavistock Clinic, the country’s foremost gender identification service for young adults and children, increased from over 700 per year in 2014-2015 to more than 2,600 in 2019-20. Numbers declined slightly during the epidemic, primarily due to girls identifying as boys, but are anticipated to rise again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to government health ministers, the NHS budget for more than 1000 transgender surgeries would grow by 38% to \u00a319 million in 2020-21.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
