Well this has to be the stupidest mantrum that I've seen, the GPs would be perfectly justified to kick him off there books after his threats

Trans-influencer threatens to cancel GP after being refused hormones

A British trans activist and BBC actor has shared her battle to get hormone medications she's been taking for a decade after her new GP refused to prescribe them after she moved to the countryside.

I have just cringed myself inside out & back again at the idea of not just Don’t You Know Who I Am?!-ing but then bragging ye’ve a Wikipedia page & to cap it all, jumping on your socials to proudly tell the world you’ve made an utter eejit of yourself. To say the least.

Making threats like this should have them i. removed from that practice & ii. warned, when allowed to register elsewhere, about what constitutes acceptable behaviour.

Good for that GP [surgery] for providing such a high standard of care for their patients. And doubly so for not capitulating to bullying & unreasonable demands. Including unreasonable demands from specialists, who all too often try to dump stuff onto GPs that they should be doing & GPs have no fecking time for what with them keeping the medicine side of primary care going 🤦‍♀️

Sadly I’m sure this narcissist has received a huge volume of support. I’m genuinely embarrassed for people who are so ill-informed about healthcare in this country that they’d go along with arrant (& indeed arrogant) nonsense like this. The sheer entitlement of it is gobsmacking.

👏👏👏

And they don’t seem to have much trouble saying ‘no’ to women who want HRT

That's me, I've had to go through the menopause with no help or support whatsoever. How I didn't jump off the nearest motorway bridge beats me.

JanesLittleGirl · 26/02/2024 21:46

May I just say that as an early menopause woman who's GP refused to recognise my symptoms, my heart bleeds purple piss for him.

Why do they want female hormones? Does being a woman have something to do with being female? And why aren't there more details on exactly where in London they moved from and exactly where they have moved to, so we can get exact up-to- the- minute house valuations?!

This is an interesting point as in we are constantly being told that sex does not equate to gender so why the need for hormones to develop female secondary sexual characteristics?

KohlaParasaurus · 26/02/2024 21:37

GPs are well accustomed to dealing with inappropriate demands for prescription medication. I expect this chap will get little satisfaction by complaining through the standard pathway because most GPs would have made exactly the same decision.

Justme56 · 26/02/2024 21:33

After Cragg’s comments about the PM nothing surprises me.

soupycustard · 26/02/2024 21:28

Well he's a delight. It should help give him a touch more understanding of how women feel though, navigating a medical system where the vast majority of research has been done by men on men, with very little interest in the fact that women aren't just mini-men.

nocoolnamesleft · 26/02/2024 21:26

Pretty sure Good Medical Practice mandates acting within your knowledge and experience. So the GP is probably doing the right thing. Ah, found it, to quote the GMC "You must recognise and work within the limits of your competence." Well done to the GP for recognising his/her limitations and working within them.

They won’t let me try testosterone. Why would they let him try oestrogen?

HagoftheNorth · 26/02/2024 21:06

Well done that GP - perhaps they are well-informed enough to be able to see that this could easily become a medical negligence issue, and they wisely want no part of it

Indeed. I wouldn't be wanting to touch it as a GP for that reason.

Anyone who says they are a women is a women.

Well clearly this person doesn't think that. Maybe the GP should cancel them.

Hang on....isn't it enough to just feel like he's a woman and wear a frock, to be an actual woman?

Anyone who says they are a women is a women. The end. Yep.

Welcome to being a woman, where healthcare doesn't listen or take you seriously and talks down to you and blocks your referal etc etc.

Sucks doesn't it?

Scarletttulips · 26/02/2024 20:54

So this is a want not a need?

Pay a private prescription.

How come trans are such a minor % of the population but demand 90% coverage?

Imagine if a bloke who wanted to get high on methodone tried this shit? Cos thats pretty much the level we are at.

They do. And people seeking speed for fictitious “ADHD” (I know it’s a real diagnosis, I mean drug-seeking patients who don’t actually have it but want a prescription), diazepam, every painkiller imaginable. There was a poster on here not long ago claiming GPs “discriminated against working class people” because they wouldn’t give her ketamine.

Any urban GP practice will be well-used to this sort of behaviour from their more batshit patients, and will give it short shrift.

The celeb and insta influencers all over this fellas page are sickening. He’s so violent !
Didn’t expect to see Mother Pucka declaring her love for him

WomaninBoots · 26/02/2024 20:41

Just want to quietly live their lives and pee in peace, you know.

Hoardasurass · 26/02/2024 20:40

My ds has to get his adhd meds from the hospital as our gp won't prescribe them for him (this is due to the hospital insisting that theydo the blooid pressure checks, etc but not sharing the results) its a pain but the gp explained why and we understand and just work around it.
This person needs to get over themselves and get the prescription from the team that are treating him like the rest of us do

He sounds deeply unpleasant.

Brefugee · 26/02/2024 20:34

if i were the GP I'd close the practice for a week and let everyone know that I'd been "taken down" by a drama queen and was having a week to recharge my mental health.

What an absolute disgrace.

GPS are likely to come across drug abusers trying to access drugs not infrequently. When I say ‘drug abusers’ I don’t mean someone buying crack on the street, I also include people who might not even realise that description applies to them.

Plus there will be people who have read up about some so-called wonder drug and want that eg slimming drugs.
