UK pharmacy regulator @TheGPhC - has recently begun unfairly targeting pharmacies that work with our patients. This began with Clear Chemist, in October of 2020, and now one of the alternative pharmacies we put in place has been prevented from operating. gendergp.com/fighting-for-t…
This affects trans youth in the UK who are aged 17 and under, and all those on Synarel. Excellent provision remains in place for all other service users and their care is not affected.
GenderGP would like to reassure all our younger patients that we will continue to fight for your rights to access affirmative healthcare until equality is achieved.
For those who are impacted, we have strengthened our paper prescription service to make sure your prescriptions are dispensed safely.
In true GenderGP fashion, we are not taking this attack lying down. Please visit our blog to read about the steps we are taking to secure access to care for our younger service users #TransHealthcare #AffirmTransKids #TransRightsAreHumanRights #TransPharmacy

Endocrine Society Urges Policy Makers to Follow Science on Transgender Health.

Texas custody case prompts unfounded claims.

➡️ endocrinenews.endocrine.org/endocrine-soci…

Full @TheEndoSociety statement in thread below...
A custody case in Texas has sparked heated debate and embroiled state policy makers in public discussions about the diagnosis and appropriate medical treatment of transgender children.

2/17
Unfortunately, many of the claims being made about gender-affirming care for transgender and gender-incongruent individuals are inaccurate. Policies concerning the diagnosis and treatment of transgender individuals should be based on science, not politics.
