Like the previous analysis, the percentages of respondents being refused State funding for AB<br />

surgeries is very high. We can see that the situation regarding access to State funding for surgery may<br />

be worsening, with 6% more respondents who transitioned less than 5 years ago being refused than<br />

those who transitioned more than 10 years ago. We can also see that across the income <strong>and</strong><br />

occupational spectrum, the difference in access to State funding for surgery is minimal.<br />

Refused Treatment<br />

The third question was concerned with being refused treatment because a healthcare<br />

practitioner did not approve of gender reassignment. The AB answer was ‘no’.<br />
