  • Merched Cymru Candidate Survey Results from The
    MERCHED CYMRU CANDIDATE SURVEY: RESULTS FROM THE MAIN PARTIES May 2021 The two tables below collect the responses received from candidates across the five main parties in Wales, with candidates listed by constituency. The regional list candidates (many of whom are also constituency candidates) are shown at the bottom. Note that we have updated this table on the evening of 5 May to reflect some late responses, and the corresponding summary on the main page.. Constituency Candidate Response Candidate Response Candidate Name Response Name Name WELSH PLAID WELSH LABOUR CYMRU CONSERVATIVES Aberavon David Rees Victoria Griffiths Liz Hill O'Shea Aberconwy Dawn Aaron It’s selfID (verbal) Janet Finch- McGuinness Wynne Saunders Alyn and Deeside Jack Sargeant Jack Morris Abigail Mainon Arfon Iwan Wyn Jones Siân I am committed to fighting for equality Gwenllian for trans people. 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.
