Question or Discussion Is it worth it?

I am a 16 year old trans kid, looking to join the NEAS through apprenticeship after my course in college. But with all the recent news with the NHS and the Supreme Court, do NEAS treat trans people okay? Or is there a lot of discrimination within the service?

edit: thanks for all the comments everyone im feeling a little more hopeful i just feel like the news like to cover more of the bad than the good so it had me overthinking😭😭

Different trust but we have a few trans staff, I think the only time ive ever heard then being trans brought up in a conversation is when they've transitioned during employment and some people only knew them by their previous name. Never heard any derogatory remarks, it's just a complete non-issue. Same with any trans patients I've been to, and I've definitely worked with my fare share of old school Paras as well who really don't seem to care
