According to NICE around 1.5 million people could benefit from HRT to combat effects of menopause, yet 5 years on there remains poor uptake because of the health scare blown up by the media. Many GPs remain reluctant to prescribe HRT.
Evidence based access to HRT, & the patriarchal NHS restricting access, is a feminist AND a Trans Rights issue. Its the SAME MEDICATION used in Trans Health (Estrogen & Testosterone). Scaremongering access to HRT is anti science, anti medicine & anti feminist
