Debate providing funds to the NHS for Facial Feminisation Surgery

Petition Details

We the undersigned would like to ask the House of Commons to debate providing funding for Facial Feminisation Surgery on the NHS for Transwomen. As currently without funding many Transwomen are at risk due to a over masculinized face due to long term Testosterone development to the facial skeleton.

Additional Information

While the procedure would be aesthetic in nature, it would be in treating this condition to allow Transwomen to live free of anxiety and fear of attack/discrimination in everyday life.

This would parallel chest surgery for Transmen that is currently funded by the NHS.
