Having secured recurrent funding for a Wales Gender Identity Clinic, Plaid Cymru will work to improve the provision and ensure timely access to its services and support. I support the reform of the Gender Recognition Act to introduce a streamlined, de-medicalised process based on self-declaration and in line with international best practice. We will seek the devolution of powers necessary to introduce this change and will uphold trans people's right to continue to access services and facilities in accordance with their gender identity. (on follow up) As far as trans rights are concerned, I think it's about acceptance. Transwomen are women if that is their choice and Tony Thomas preferred identity. For many the transition follows years of unimaginable trauma and torment.
