I am a transwoman and after initially seeing my GP, I found my self worrying about how I would have to wait for over a year for my GIC appointment. I wanted to prevent further changes due to testosterone, including the loss of my hair. After a long time looking for faster routes, I began to lose hope and reached the end of my tether but managed to stumble across GenderGP. I sent a email message and was shocked to receive not only a reply, but actual prescriptions for the medications that I needed. To this day I don’t know where I would be if it hadn’t been for the GenderGP amazing online serve. I have recommended it already to all of my transgender friends who reside in the UK.

I found the GenderGP website after some research on transgender forums. I’ve been making steps to transition since opening up to my therapist in April. When my initial referral for Charing Cross came back and mentioned a 13 month waiting list I wasn’t surprised, but it made up my mind to look at private care to bridge the gap to my first NHS GIC appointment. The GenderGP team are professional, attentive and supportive, providing the relevant information and guidance for each step of the process.the team have been fantastic throughout the consultation and the day my prescription came through I was in much happier place. Thank you,

Gender GP is providing a lifeline for myself and a friend at a time when the NHS GICs are letting us down badly (we’ve been on interminable waiting lists for 18+ months). It’s early days, but the service they have offered us so far has been compassionate, understanding, and helpful. The IGS had some questions which sounded strange and a little outdated – very much rooted in the ‘traditional’ gender binary. But in terms of support and duty of care, they’re giving the best they can under what I can only describe as exceptional circumstances, considering the current climate in the UK. The staff at Gender GP are giving us hope and helping to make our dreams real, to fully live our best lives.
