There are some of us actively engaging to try and make some of these points, but we're not numerous or interesting enough for NICE to take the time to have a proper look, it seems.
Sad to say, I think NICE is afraid of the tabloid factor when it comes to gender services, because it'll be easy for the papers to demonstrate what they consider "worthy" and "unworthy" patients by digging up somebody who wanted to use a very expensive cancer drug that NICE rejected. Especially because it'll take about five minutes before a sub-editor realises that you can rhyme "grannies" with "trannies".
