TRANS CARE IN BURY
I’m making this petition in the hopes that it will convince Bury Council to open a new gender clinic in Bury.
Why is this important?
Someone living in Greater Manchester has only two options when it comes to Trans care. The Leeds Gender Clinic, which has a waiting list upwards of FIVE years, and the Indigo Service in Manchester, which has a slightly shorter wait, but is trickier to apply to.
I hope, if I can get an ample number of signatures on this petition, we can open a dialogue about opening a Gender Clinic in Bury. If not, somewhere else in Greater Manchester. This way, more trans people can seek the help they need.
It’s unfair that so many of us are treated poorly because we don’t have the hormones or surgery they believe we need. Not everyone wants treatment, and they shouldn’t be ridiculed or misgendered for that.
Others, however, who do seek medication, who do wish to make the decision to change themself, deserve the opportunity. They should be allowed, and able, to find the care they require in a much more reasonable time frame.
