This was a tough read. Annoying that they used "assigned at birth" but that might be the clinic's own language.

Wow that's huge. Well done to all those who've helped to make this happen.

Wow. Thank you, The Times, for your journalism. I'd have thought Mermaids are included in these "online forums" too but perhaps they couldn't find proof. Being referred to GenderGP seems very similar.

No comment from United Pharmacies who were "not interested" and a "decline to act" from Reddit. But Keira Bell who's quoted, explains the myriad problems with buying and administering one's own medication. I'm not even sure this falls into the planned and controversial "legal but harmful" part of the Online Safety Bill. If it's not illegal to provide people with medication for which they have no prescription then it should be.

Over on Twitter, a screenshot has been posted about self medicating discussions on Mermaids' forum:
