Petitions - UK Government and Parliament

Increase funding to help reduce transgender healthcare waiting times to 18 weeks. Fund training for GPs in identifying and diagnosing gender

Today, Cas tends to the small flower garden he'd started earlier in the spring. The buds have begun to open and Cas watches eagerly as the bees enthusiastically approach, ready to get to work. Using his trenchcoat as a barrier between himself and the morning dew, Cas sits in the grass and watches as hundreds of creatures come and go from the garden.
