In Glasgow, there is a 224-year waiting list for gender clinic appointments.
224 YEARS.
This is institutionalised discrimination. It's unacceptable, it's ruining people's lives and it needs to change.
We have the solution. Time for politicians to act.

Just catching up on social media for tonight. So far I’ve learned:
- If a “radical leftist” had shot CK, then we needed civil war, the Air Force attacking Blue states, and the annihilation of “transgenderism”.
- But if a radical rightist did it, they were likely just concerned about crime.

Mass shooters are not disproportionately transgender, contrary to claims like Charlie Kirk falsely advocated.
