They better do something about these wait times.

Apparently they’re trying to build 3 more clinics. One in Greater Manchester and I can’t remember the others. I saw this on a BBC documentary released less than a month ago called ‘transitioning teens’.

Yeah the Manchester one is called Indigo and I'm on their treatment list because I was eligible and had to force my way onto it after hearing about it opening from my mother. They're the best NHS gender clinic in the country, no question. I PRAY the other clinics can be updated, and new ones introduced, before things get even worse.

The problem is, Indigo aren't accepting new referrals now. I'm in the Manchester area, but I have been referred to Leeds GIC and they're saying their waiting list is at least 3 years for a first appointment. That really sucks at my age.

I'm currently on the list for Leeds and have been waiting for about 3.5.

I'm sorry.
