Gay Men's Network NHS Consultation response
"Transing the gay away" happened. It must never happen again.
As you probably already know, I’m one of the three directors of the Gay Men’s Network - a UK not for profit company set up to fight homophobia and advocate for male same sex attracted persons.
Tonight we’ve responded to the NHS consultation on the “proposed interim service specifications” for gender medicine.
We’ve pointed out that while there’s much to welcome, homophobia is not even mentioned in the spec despite it being a serious safeguarding concern raised again and again and again.
We would be very grateful for retweets, emails in support or anything you can do to help us wipe out homophobia in the UK’s NHS.

Would you be surprised to learn that I had the "soon there will be no gay people left" already included in my pitch to the Vermont legislative committee?
Thank you so much as always Dennis. 👬
