‘It left me traumatised’: The barriers to accessing transgender healthcare in Ireland

The HSE has admitted that transgender healthcare is ‘limited’ and is ‘not meeting people’s full range of needs’.

This is a very sympathetic article for once. I was not expecting that from The Journal! It mentioned a lot about how invasive the questions were from the NGS, though I’ve also heard from other people (adults around 30 or older) that they were refused care if their parents didn’t attend the appointment with them. Nonbinary people as well as those with autism or ADHD are also frequently denied care. I would’ve liked if they spoke to any trans masc people in their investigation but for such a supportive article in these times I will take it.

Beatha do na daoine trasinscneacha Bíodh grá againn ar fad do na shlíthe go leor a shiúlann siad Bailímis gach sonas, gach cuid dóchais Agus cruthaímis dáimh, ag tabhairt barróga ionraic Mar is áille an meangadh ar dhuine a bhí faoi chrá [Translation under the cut]

Life for the transgender folk May we all love each path that they walk Let us gather every joy, every share of hope And let us make a kinship, giving honest embraces Because the smile of a person who had felt great pain is most beautiful

Is í Niamh Ní Fhéineadh a bheidh i dteannta Dháithí Uí Shé an tseachtain seo. Is bainisteoir innealtóra bogearraí í agus gníomhaí ar son ARC (abortion rights campaign) agus Trans Healthcare Action Ireland. Tá beirt pháistí óga aici atá á dtógáil aici le Gaeilge. A bhuíochas don dianghlasáil a thuig sí go raibh sí trasinscneach.

Trans healthcare in Ireland is…non-existent. Most trans people I know have gotten hormones privately through Gender GP, which I believe is based in the UK, rather than going through the HSE. There is no one who can perform top surgery in Ireland – people I know have gone to Poland, England, Spain and Sweden instead. This obviously makes the already costly experience more expensive as they now also have to pay for transport and accommodation.

The waiting lists for care with the HSE are long. Years long. I think the latest estimate is about five years before being seen for the first time and the appointment is notoriously invasive. This article by Lilith Ferreyra-Carroll in GCN last October explains the scene at the moment quite well. She can also be found on twitter at trasinscneach. This article on Pink News from January this year is less dense than the previous one and offers some more up to date statistics.

Transhealthcareirelandnow is an Instagram page that shares up to date statements and news about the way trans healthcare is at the moment.

r/TransIreland have put together a collection of resources. Other resources can be found at https://bit.ly/irishtransresources

Small Trans Library are both a lending library and a community resource run by donations, based in both Dublin, Glasgow and Cardiff. (Can be found on Instagram at TransLibDub, TransLibGla and TransLibWales)

In other news, the census which is held on April the 3rd this year, has said that if you fail to indicate a gender (by ticking both boxes), you will randomly be assigned one. The Irish Examiner and GCN have good articles with more information but unfortunately I cannot link them.

Citizens Information website is a good place to learn about getting a Gender Recognition Certificate and changing your name by deed poll (among other things obviously). Their articles are clear and concise, and kept up to date.

Tbis might be a dumb question, but doesn't the word trasinscneach break the slender with slender and broad with broad rule?

Possibly! Irish grammar is something I am atrocious at. Trasinscneach is made up of three parts - tras•inscne•ach. Maybe that makes a difference? Wikipedia breaks it down like this, but like I said, I’m awful at Irish grammar and other than knowing what vowels are broad and slender and which endings the regular verbs get based on that, I can’t help.
