GRS Wales Blog

While working on the updates to the GRSWales website I noticed that the links to the “interesting PDF files” are now been re-directed to the new Welsh Assembly Government website, it seems that nearly all links or information on GID (Gender Identity Disorder) and GRS (Gender Reassignment Surgery) have been removed from their website.

So the question I’m asking is, Does the Health Commission Wales care about those of us diagnosed with GID or is it that they have a total disregard for something they do not understand, it certainly seems that they have no interest in the subjects of GID or GRS and are making it nigh on impossible for anyone living in Wales to get any help whatsoever.

I’m going to look further into this and get in touch the Clinical Psychologist I had to see through my transition to see if she can shine any light on what is happening with the Health Service in Wales with regards to gender issues.

But in the meantime, if anyone has any information or is having problems with funding or even getting any scrap of help from the HCW with regards to GID or GRS then please let me know.

Since coming out of the hospital after surgery I’ve put on a tiny bit of weight, so after serching the net I found this rather useful article:

For many people finding out how to get a flat stomach has become something of a quest. After several mornings of looking in the mirror and getting tired of seeing more then they would like they decide it is time to do something about it. Getting rid of that extra layer or that newly formed pooch becomes something of an obsession. Read the rest of this entry »
