Force the government to rip up the EHRC’s transphobic guidance
It’s been a year since the Supreme Court's decision that accelerated the rollback of trans rights in the UK. It’s been a difficult year, but it’s also been a year of coming together and fighting back....

York GPs
Gender Identity Clinics have years long wait lists - the worst wait for someone referred now is 224 Years before a first appointment, let alone any care
York GPs are increasingly refusing "shared care" for trans people (where they prescribe meds and monitor the patient's progress, following instructions from specialists, as they do with many other conditions like diabetes, arthritis, or ADHD).
Local trans and nonbinary people have been refused routine blood tests and medication even if they have a diagnosis. In some cases people have been told their existing prescriptions will be stopped, stripping them of care they've already received for years
How To Help:
Offer to attend appointments with your Trans friends so their doctor knows there is accountability
Join your GP surgery's patient feedback group and speak up for Trans healthcare
