Taxpayers should pay for trans men wanting a penis to get one abroad because of lengthy NHS queues, campaigners have controversially said.

Biological females transitioning to become men can ask for a penis — sometimes called bottom surgery — so they can better match their gender identity.

But waiting lists for the complex op, called a phalloplasty, which is also offered to men who lose their genitalia in serious accidents, can be up to four years.

It's almost as if requesting a dangerous body-altering surgery should be reserved only to those who need it for medical reasons.

Not to mention wanting to queue skip sounds like a court case in the making...

Like you know someone is going to have one go very wrong, there's a reason somewhere else wouldn't have queues after all and then blame the NHS for subpar work.
