Waiting lists for a phalloplasty in the UK - offered to trans men so their bodies can better match their gender identity - can be up to four years, and activists say this can be very bad for people's mental health.
Pressure group Transactual says there are about 2,000 people waiting to have the operation in the UK.Campaigners say it is unacceptable that people are having to wait up to four years to have the surgery done, so the NHS should pay for them to go abroad. Paying for everyone on the list to have the surgery abroad would cost about £40 million, Transactual estimate.
Only one hospital in the UK offers the operation on the NHS - the private New Victoria Hospital. The complex procedure is carried out in three stages.He said: "It's a complicated operation, it involves shifting nerves, blood vessels, things with the urethra. So obviously the surgeons need to be well-trained.
The answer is surely self explanatory. The NHS was set up to maintain the nation’s health - the clue is in there!
How about they surgically attach this
These folks aren't doing their cause any favours! Because, of course a cosmetic operation for a fake penis should come before ( example) Hip operation.
WTF this type of thing is not what NHS was built for. It’s National HEALTH service. Services should be limited to saving lives and delivering a healthy nation. The scope has become way too wide and costly
NO.
😂👎
How long are they and I mean the queues? We all unfortunately have to wait for medical care because of the Conservative under funding.
Media bollocks. (Obviously without penises being involved)
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
What about the men with real dicks that need dick inlargments, weve suffered too long, protest for big dongs
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I have trans to a rich person and am expecting the tax payer to put £10 million into my account to save me having to save that much.... Sounds fair!
LBC desperate for engagement. Regardless of whether it is hateful or not.
Erm LOL.
Only in the U.K. would anyone think they are entitled to this type of operation free on the NHS. Meanwhile in the rest of the world it would be considered the type of operation that the individual pays for it themselves.
I'd pay that to send the geezer to Broadmore tho!
Pmsfl give small docked men bigger cocks first n they can have the cast offs
One of these days y'all are going to just post some One Guy from Jerma's chat who said cannibalism should be mandatory and go 'This is what the people are saying! This is what they want!!'
Can of hot dogs and some needle and thread.. problem solved
Is that fact?
Taking the piss now
Get stuffed
If you find this pathetic headline annoying then I hope this completely infuriates you:-
It's not a penis. It's an approximation of a penis fashioned from flesh harvested from the arm. Please can you be more accurate in your use of language.
😂😂
40million! You got a lotta balls!
This is the sort of drivel I'd expect from the daily mail. Its click bait, not even worthy of real discussion during a cost of living crisis, war in Europe and post pandemic. Let's get the house in order before we start these non essential debates.
Erm no. I'm all for Trans rights but this is taking the piss.
No problem, I have an axe and will do it for freeeee, no waiting time necessary
Why not two for the price of one?
The entitlement is breath taking
Of course the media wants to divide the working class! Trans people have the same right to health as us. Lets take the many £billions stolen off us by the wealthy, renationalise the NHS and fund it fully, and use our resources to fund all our healthcare including trans health!
If I have to wait for a new hip they can wait for a new Willie
🤣 of course the taxpayer should pay. Cos some kid is confused over if it wants to pretend to be a man or a women 🤣
Never let them pay for the operation why should the tax payers pay for it
I would not pay 1penny. too bad leftists are in power and any idiocracy goes ! no treatment withou psichiatric exam. no for minors and most certainly NOT FROM PUBLIC MONEY.
I’d rather use my taxes for the NHS to look after my pets
Would prefer if people waiting on cancer surgery, and other life saving surgeries, skipped the queue first.
Are there not enough *icks in the uk.
It blows my mind that you can get it done at all on the nhs 🤯🤯 no wonder the nurses can’t get a pay rise
Do they want jam on it?
Or, they could stay PERMANENTLY at the back of the queue for any sort of cosmetic surgery, so that people with PROPER health needs, may be helped, you know heart surgery, or, if there actually is 49 million going spare to Great Ormond Street, fir proper human beings
This is what you want to hear when you’ve waiting 4 years for new hip
Where do they get the penises from?
We should not be paying for it in our country, never mind for them to go to another country!
