My name’s Alex and I’ve come down to London today from Yorkshire to the NHS Citizens’...
Assembly to bring the issues around gender reassignment, people with gender identity
issues, people who are transgender um, in the hope that the board will listen and hear
and understand that there’s some very serious issues for our community.
We’re very little understood within mental health services.
People can be locked up for a long time until they get a chance of getting out because somebody
understands that gender dysphoria is not a mental illness, it’s a condition, it’s
about identity and people who are working in mental health services really must understand that.
