Welcome to GenderGP
About us
GenderGP provides advocacy, support, advice, healthcare and access to a range of complementary services, which enable trans people to live their lives more easily.
In recent years, understanding around what it means to be trans has increased significantly. This has led to many more people stepping forward and asking for help with their social, medical and legal transition.
At the same time we have seen a shift in people’s acceptance, as more and more people’s lives are touched by someone who is trans and the desire to help begins to bring about positive change.
Our vision is a world where people can embrace their gender identity, free from discrimination and prejudice: our website is part of the solution.
Whether you are trans yourself, or supporting someone who is, we are delighted to welcome you to the GenderGP community.
