A LONG-AWAITED report on transgender healthcare in Ireland has been published by the HSE.
The report makes a number of recommendations including that psychological support for those under the age of 18 should be provided and delivered by the Irish health service, rather than in the UK as was previously the case.
The document was submitted by the National Trans Healthcare Steering Committee in February but only published on Christmas Eve.

Never more so than when I went to primary school, an all-boys school with me, a little Transgender Girl, in among the chaos of the boys in the 1970s and 1980s when even being gay was outlawed and ridiculed. I spent six long years being beaten and bullied by students and teachers alike, day-in, day-out without fail. I was left depleted and in the end destroyed. I dug down deep to try and hide myself, Rachel.
I found it hard to learn so I taught myself how to read and write at home. I was scared mentally and still am physically.
