The Journal highlighted PATHI's call to address the harmful barriers within the Irish trans healthcare system:
Responding to the investigation, the Professional Association for Trans Health Ireland (PATHI) said in a statement that it was “deeply concerned” by the “structural failures within Ireland’s trans healthcare system”.
PATHI is a group of healthcare professionals, academics, and community advocates working to advance the health, rights and wellbeing of trans and gender diverse people.
The group also called for “urgent, systemic reform to address the extensive barriers and inadequate and unsafe care faced by trans people across the country”.
Ryan Goulding, a registered mental health nurse and PATHI Field Representative for Primary Health, said: “Trans people are being left with no safe, trustworthy, or accessible options for care. This is a clinical, ethical, and structural failure that cannot continue. The way forward is clear.”
