My GP has said they won’t support me using GenderGP. What can I do to persuade them?

Sadly many doctors do not feel empowered enough to support their patient through transition. This is largely due to the lack of education in this particular field of medicine. Luckily there is plenty of research available to support the treatment of trans individuals. We have lots of information and we are happy to contact your GP, if you feel this will help. You can request that we write to your GP here: https://www.gendergp.com/help-centre/gp-letter/

We have also developed this guide which takes international best practice and distils it into an easy to read practical advice. You are welcome to share the link with your doctor: https://www.gendergp.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/ GenderGP_TransgenderHealth_2020_08_05.pdf
