On an October morning in the living room of a modest family home in this coastal town, Miles Pitcher, 17, received a message that would change his life.
“Finally,” he said. “Something being done.”
Miles, assigned female at birth, has identified as male since he was 14. Yet until he got that message, he was stuck in limbo for three years, one of at least 8,000 young people in England and Wales waiting to receive gender care from the state-funded National Health Service (NHS) as of October, a Reuters review of NHS documents shows.
Young people like Miles say their only option is to turn to private providers such as GenderGP, which is registered in Singapore and thus operates beyond the supervision of the NHS. The company says under-18-year-olds make up a growing portion of its UK patient population, with about 800 youth currently on its books.
Once assigned to a waiting list, young people have been effectively locked out of state-provided mental health counseling and other specialist support related to their gender dysphoria, because those services were offered only through the gender care system they are waiting to join. Delaying medical treatment also means young people mature in bodies that don’t align with their gender identity – changing that in later life is more difficult.

“Care”.
The article states, “....assigned female at birth....”
So now babies are “assigned” gender? What a bunch of garbage.
“assigned female at birth”
Means “is a female”.
For the kids they didn’t have a chance to mutilate IN the womb......the second chance is to do it outside the womb.......just like here really.
Nothing less than demonic and straight out of hell.......and I mean that literally.
These "journalists" just will not be honest. A doctor does not assign you as male or female "gender" at birth. The doctor observes and records your sex at birth.
This dishonesty is a large part of our problem. See Tagline.
Imagine being a hard working father, heading out to work each day to pay the bills while your 17-year-old child lounges around on the couch waiting for a text message about gender treatments.
It's worse than that. Story says it's 8,000.
“Lost in Limbo”
Wherever Limbo is, sounds like a perfect place for child sexual predators to be active
So doctors won’t provide then needed care? Won’t see them for sniffles? Won’t prescribe antibiotics to them? Won’t deal with muscle sprains or bone breaks? What a cold, heartless medical system!
What amazes me is that these news agencies can hire so many young skulls-full-of-mush who buy this crap and actually write these articles with trendy pronouns and explain that chopping healthy parts off of children or giving them very dangerous drugs and messing with their emerging, confused psyches is somehow “care.”
I really wonder about the myth that we once believed, that the human race was vastly more intelligent than animals.
It’s harder and harder to accept that traditional thought. We now have a distributor of “news” willingly accepting a false idea, that is proven false beyond a shadow of a doubt: the idea that a person’s sex is “assigned” at birth.
Not only does Reuters publish that lie, but all the other distributers of “news” as well.
No one is trans. Some people have the delusion that they can move from one sex to the other. They are insane.
Now we have a dictionary, which many consider the authority on language, saying that a woman is anyone who considers itself to be a woman. Circular definitions are illogical, so what this is actually saying is:
“Anyone who considers itself to be a person who considers itself to be a person who .......” this never ends. This infinite regression never reaches a point in which the word “woman” is actually defined.
We lose when we adopt the terminology of the left. The child you refer to is awaiting genital mutilation.
See Tagline.
The care they need is mental health services to help them discard the errant obsession that is running and ruining their lives, not “gender transition drugs and surgical mutilation. We don’t operate on the idea that helping addicts satisfy their addiction is the right thing to do, and neither should we ignore that identity dysphoria is a mental problem, not a problem of the body being “wrong”.
Might be reasonable to ask — if an individual goes through a “successful” transition, is their life expectancy normal? (One Swedish study I found indicates that it is not at all normal. But it’s interesting that there aren’t many studies.)
Yes they are assigned gender by God at conception. In fact He forms them in their mother's womb, and He knows them since before the dawn of time.
Dunno about anyone else but having my genitals mutilated has always been way down at the bottom of my list.
“...Miles, assigned female at birth...”
A person isn’t “assigned” at birth...They are born either male of female as nature would have it...It is NOT reality to say you can decide which you are...
THERE ARE ONLY TWO GENDERS, NO MATTER WHAT PEOPLE TELL YOU OR HOW YOU “FEEL”...
Get over all this BS and live your life...
They are all mentally ill. They should be in therapy. Does the NHS not provide that?!
