Elodie is pretty sure no one here has been through this process (grc overseas route)?

She started (again) the application process yesterday, having finally got all the docs certified etc, only to find that there is no longer a specific overseas route form on the gov website.

She doesn’t know when this changed 🤦‍♀️🤷‍♀️

A search found a few references to the forms but all the links are broken.

Applying for the DE SBGG took months because the rules didn’t understand the specific situation (the lovely lady at the Standesamt who was dealing with elodie was dogged in her determination tho 💕)

Fuck 😿

Majority of trans people avoid going to GP over transphobia fears

Pink News article on recent TransActual report:

“Ninety-seven per cent of the trans UK public reported dealing with GPs that have little or no knowledge on trans issues, while nearly three quarters have reported avoiding their GP over fears of discrimination.

Of those who had faced issues with their GPs, 60 per cent had been refused non-transition related care because of their gender identity.”

Yes (i.e. my experience too) to all three.

This video was one of the best videos I have watched on Transphobia and the links between people in that community. Also he talks a lot about the research that is cited so often! It is a very long one but fuck me it was amazing to watch. (I saw someone else on mastodon post about it but lost the link) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JiOc0r31-Os

All right, fellow transes damned to the hell of Terf Island, I'm in the market for a private trans healthcare clinic based in London, because the NHS are just too sadistic (and there's no hope of any Nuremberg trials any time soon...).

Necessary characteristics are that they need to have actual premises I can turn up to get bloods/Decapeptyl/etc. done (and ideally the option of face-to-face or online appointments), and they need to not be beholden to the NHS's worthless rules (if that is at all possible).

Cis people may not reply.

Thanks!

Just got a friend to call up the Tavistock gender clinic to ask for a transferral to Transcend, the new-ish gender clinic in the Merseyside. The Tavistock seemed open to doing it and asked her to send them an email, which she did and we eagerly await the results of.

If this works then it seems like a good path for anyone else in the local area since Transcend has a much shorter waitlist than the older clinics.

To any trans folks from #liverpool , #merseyside and nearby this might be extremely important news: Transcend is now taking referrals directly from GPs!

It'd probably be worth any trans folks who can get referred to do so because while Transcend still isn't perfect, or even good, they've shown themselves to have shorter waiting lists and are at least somewhat less hostile to service users.
