What is happening at GenderGP?

[ArabellaScott]

People claim there are no doctors working there now?

Does look like a downward spiral.

Twitter comments claim that people are paying subs to GenderGP and getting nothing in return, no response to emails, etc.

Thanks, Betty.

'GPs have been warned not to work with a discredited transgender clinic after the NHS issued an urgent safety alert.

Doctors have been told that they should not prescribe puberty blockers
or cross-sex hormones on the advice of Gender GP as it does “not

Ooh.

'Gender GP has learned of recent issues experienced by members seeking to obtain their medication from pharmacies in Sweden. We are very sorry for any disruption you are facing and are looking into this as a matter of utmost importance.
We have acted swiftly to make contact with the Swedish Medicine Agency Läkemedelsverket.se and are aware they have received questions from pharmacies about fulfilling GenderGP prescriptions. We have directly offered the Swedish Medicine Agency the opportunity to validate our processes and prescribers.'

Finally!

It’s all going to end in litigation. I wonder when the medical malpractice insurance industry will start to realise that.

It’s all gone rather tits up, by the look of things.

Do people often update their business websites with entirely new pages saying they're available for appointments, by mistake?

Hm. If you try to book an introductory session, it comes up with 'no locations available', and you can't progress.

Quelle domage.

April 2024 is off to an excellent start!

The GenderGP Twitter account is merrily yapping AI promotional posts (no response to replies), Helen W has only tweeted once since Christmas and Marianne Oakes still has GenderGP in Marianneself’s Twitter bio but the link just leads to GenderGPs AI generated blog posts, not to Marianne’s therapist profile…

This is pretty amusing - looks like the AI blogger has been kicking out an extraordinary number of barely relevant blogposts…

Reddit users are saying that GenderGP have a new form with no safety checks for contraindicated meds.

'The new form does not ask what new medication you are taking other than gender related medication. There are a number of medications that are unsafe to mix. Sone of these are over he counter, such as an NSAID with spiro. Not asking us what else we are taking is to cause serious conflict issues, and hurt people, potentially badly.'

@ArabellaScott

The irony of them complaining about GGP not asking about medicine contraindications when they are trying to obtain large dose cross sex hormones.

Well, yes, but these are quite possibly vulnerable children/young people. And they are supposedly accessing a medically overseen service. As someone in the comments says, to paraphrase, it would be more honest and possibly safer if they were just selling the pills direct, no questions asked, than pretending to offer some kind of oversight that it isn't there.

Lots of the the reddit posts are saying they will "go DIY", can anyone explain what this mean?

@Maverick197 I imagine they'll source their steroids and advice from forums much to the like that bodybuilders do.

There are a lot of public forums online in that community that talk about pathways to steroids, how to store your steroids, symptoms, side effects, dosage calculators and so on and so forth.

If that's the case it's incredibly reckless, because even in those communities people seem to have an I know best mindset and then someone goes along and dies. Sadly have too much experience with this.
