I'm not keen on any form of "blackmail" to get what you want, no matter how good we think the cause is.

Seven days for the PCT to cave.

Those of us in Wales are taking notice.

fvck off robN.

We need more role models for young Trans people like this – people who won't role over and die.

If I had her adress I'd send her a box of Mars Bars to build her up again.

I say congratulations on getting the support – but I really don't like the last quote "As long as I fulfill my part of the bargain and live as a woman for two years, then it's there."

It's as if changing gender is a flippant decision. I think this causes an extremely negative effect on Transpeople – no wonder transphobia exists. I wouldn't want my thousands pounds of taxes to go to someone who then changes their mind…

Good to hear it, Debbie. You will become who you are, you will, you will, you will!

Good for Debbie Davies I know she exhausted every avenue with Nottinghamshire PCT over several years.

Its a sad state of affairs when people are forced to take extreme action to get treatment availible in other parts of the UK.
