@drkamillak @BBCFutureMedia @BBC @ZariaGorvett @PrimaryCareNHS So much misinformation in one article! How odd that the US Dr Greene thinks she's discovered so much about treating us when we've been around, post-transition for 70yrs!
I hope all doctors know to not place us on records as 3rd gender without specific, informed, written consent

@drkamillak @BBCFutureMedia @BBC @ZariaGorvett @PrimaryCareNHS It is not just that passing a medical history of trans on to other medical staff when it is irrelevant is "stigmatising"; many cannot be trusted with it because their UK professional bodies refuse to incorporate our care in their resources, so they can panic & mistreat patients
@drkamillak @BBCFutureMedia @BBC @ZariaGorvett @PrimaryCareNHS The one cited trans patient himself is explicit about that very danger🖼- "let me focus upon your trans identity rather than your kidney disease" - yet the article, & the doctors cited, sail on regardless 
@drkamillak @BBCFutureMedia @BBC @ZariaGorvett @PrimaryCareNHS Can the #BloodLie that trans women "have an HIV prevalence up to 42x the national average" please be deleted? As if girls are lined up to be infected on their 18th birthday. Would anyone print that of a racial minority?
HIV+ risk is NOT inborn, it is linked to specific exposure.

@drkamillak @BBCFutureMedia @BBC @ZariaGorvett @PrimaryCareNHS The ignorance of the science related to transitioned cared is alarming. 🖼 is are characteristics that are changed by feminising & masculinising hormones being apparently cited as a reason why people should have medicines prescribed according to the gender assigned at birth!
@drkamillak @BBCFutureMedia @BBC @ZariaGorvett @PrimaryCareNHS Some corrections on our history.
The Berlin institute was destroyed by allied bombing. Its books, alone, were burned in 1933📽️
Trans surgery dates back at least 4,000yrs & was documented in Greek in the 2nd cent. But doctors didn't dare write about us.

@drkamillak @BBCFutureMedia @BBC @ZariaGorvett @PrimaryCareNHS The ancients used estrogens from urine. England has been treating transitioned trans people since the 1940s (as well as from the 1870s-1980s locking us away in asylums). Doctors having failed (& still refusing) to document the outcomes doesn't justify seeing us as a new problem
