You may have seen this already, but I don't think you can see it enough times. Gender reassignment in Oxfordshire is only given on the basis of 'extreme need'. Basically, you need to be suicidal before they will help you with your gender dysmorphia.
The hospital that performs this operations, Charing Cross, will not operate on people who are suicidally depressed for health reasons.
This Catch-22 policy directly means that people with gender dysmorphia are denied treatment. It's barbarous, vile, and bigoted and directly affects transpeople living in Oxfordshire today.

Thanks to various people on my flist for making me aware of this.
