If you're eligable to vote in the UK, please sign this petition by the 7th of April to allow trans people in Oxfordshire access to surgery - current guidelines prevent trans people from accessing the surgery on the NHS unless they are in so much distress they would be deemed unfit to have it anyway.

Oh dear God. I've discovered why I've felt so cut up over pride this year.
