We have been waiting to see information and advice about #Covid_19 from @TaviAndPort GIDS specifically for young people undergoing medical transition but there is nothing on their website, why? All major cancer, heart and mental health charities have published information.
There is a general notice from the Tavistock & Portman NHS Trust but nothing from GIDS specifically for young people who have taken blockers and hormones. Is there any medical advice for these young people, do they need to take extra precautions? #covid19 tavistockandportman.nhs.uk/about-us/news/…
Also no information and advice from @GenderCareDrL or @MyWebDoctorUK. @Genderintell & @Mermaids_Gender don't offer any medical advice specific to trans people. @TransgenderNI has given terrible advice to 'bind safely.'
Where is your advice @TaviAndPort?
Where is the advice to STOP BINDING? And where is the mental health support for those who find it difficult to stop, where is there advice about strategies to manage body dysmorphia to help young people get through this? #covid19UK
What are the implications of testosterone use? Are there any increased risks young people transtioning should be aware of? How about people self-medicating with hormones bought online? What about GP appointments for meds, bloods monitoring etc - some GP surgeries are closing.
What should young people be advised to do if they can't get their hormones? Would it be important for ICU staff to know birth sex? Trans people have undergone specific medical interventions, where is the specific medical advice for them? Reassurance would be helpful. #Covid19UK
