Your name appears on the link, in case this bothers you.

It's appalling to put anyone in the position of damned if you do, damned if you don't like this. Anyone not adequately trained in this area (that's retty much everyone as far as I can see, as those who claim expertise seem to be charlatans) must refuse to act outwith their competence and must have the support of their registration body in doing so.

I realise trans activists think it's a simple matter but it really is not.

Does it? That's odd. I'm not too concerned, though.

It’s odd. It did when I first clicked on the link (good article BTW, thanks for sharing), but not now. It just said something like shared by X… Y…

Thank you for sharing. I was stunned on the thread about children being allowed to change their NHS sex marker and I remain stunned that this huge level of harm is being perpetrated on vulnerable patients BY THE NHS!

I know several people very local to me that have been medically harmed in this way by the NHS. They are fairly early on in the manifestation and impact of this harm but at least one, a formerly healthy male on oestrogen, is now disabled, severely depressed and unable to work.

I live in a very rural non woke area - if these numbers are far higher in other areas, what is the impact going to be on the NHS of managing all of these increasing levels of medical need? It’s going to be catastrophic.

Horrifying read. Brave, principled and well-considered stance by the GP.

Yes it did for me too when I clicked on it. That’s a bit concerning right? Substack has always worried me a bit in this way.
