THREAD: The news about GenderGP is rightly causing concern among trans communities, many of whom are reliant on them for current medication. No one should be at risk of being cut off from ongoing medication. What follows are some useful links for anyone affected 👇

Firstly, this is the most recent update from GenderGP and ClearChemist which lays out how they plan to ensure continued care for everyone currently relying on their prescriptions

THREAD: There's more rumours in today's papers that the Government may drop plans to meaningfully reform the Gender Recognition Act.

Even though the majority of the public support introducing a simplified process for trans people to get legal recognition of their gender

1/6

Not to mention that both the Trade Union Congress & British Medical Association called for GRA reform this week! The BMA went as far as saying that doctors 'should take no part' in the process of trans people changing their legal gender

2/6

For years, trans communities have said the GRA is outdated. The British public overwhelmingly agreed and called for reform via consultation. Trade unions and doctors just this week re-affirmed their support for reform.

Trans people have waited too long for equality

🚨URGENT🚨

Progress on trans equality in the UK is under threat.

Misinformation continues to spread, so we wanted to share some stats that show what life is like for trans people right now. Please read & share 👇

There are lots of trans people who are accepted and embraced by their family, friends and at school or work. Which is wonderful and this needs to be the norm for every trans person. But sadly, we know that’s not the case for everyone.

Abuse and discrimination is a near daily experience for many trans people. Two in five trans people (41%) have experienced a hate crime in the last year, and two-thirds of trans young people (64%) are bullied in school just for being who they are.

You may have seen some misleading stories about trans people in the media recently. When one group, whether it's trans, lesbian, gay or bi people, are portrayed as deviants, it prevents progress for everyone. Let’s clarify a few things🧵👇 #ComeOutForTransEquality #TransAllyScot

1) The only thing the Gender Recognition Act covers is how trans people’s birth certificates are changed, which improves the level of privacy they are entitled to, such as when getting a job or marrying, and how they are recognised after death. That’s all.

2) Then, what are we campaigning for? Currently the process is stressful, dehumanising and can be traumatic for trans people. While it was groundbreaking back in 2004, it’s outdated now.
