Hormone Replacement Therapy.
It is introducing or rather balancing the estrogen and testosterone in someone to meet the levels of a biological woman or man.
Takes years and in fact you have to take medication till you die, granted in smaller doses as time goes on.
For women it's easier as...
Puberty blockers are kind of an iffy subject in a lot of areas to be fair so finding factual information is kinda like a needle in a haystack.
People scream about letting minors transition at the mere mention of them most of the time.
NHS very rarely hands them out though. Even less so than...
Medically transitioning does render someone infertile but puberty blockers is a different, and non-permanent process.
If you're the one seeking help for the likes of infertility, mental health or gender identity you are not treated as a human being by whatever specialist you get to see (if you...
Nobody is allowing minors to transition, that's illegal. What actually happens in the case of minors (and very rarely) is minor blockers so that they don't experience some aspects of puberty. Removing these blockers simply allows the puberty to continue as normal.
Maybe you should research the...
It's not just a lack of training, but due to a lack of funding the NHS is forced to adopt a policy of almost pure gatekeeping. Basically they turn people away first and help them second. Unless you show up in heavy makeup in the girliest dress you can find good luck getting approved for therapy...

From the link:
NHS gender identity clinics (GICs), set up to provide specialist care to transgender people in the UK, often fail to meet the needs of service users by means of prohibitively long waiting lists (frequently exceeding three years)...
Oh, absolutely but what I meant was we had already lost that struggle so things are going to get worse and there's nothing we can do to stop it.
Sorry for not being clear my dude.
I can see humanity going completely extinct in the next 200 years unless we either invent the technology to leave the Earth or do something to actually save it.
I believe that AI could be our saving grace or it might enslave us.
Will we encounter aliens? Possibly. If they are less advanced than...
The Good Place was the last show I binge-watched. They're still making it (next season might be final season though) and at least on Netflix (UK) they upload new episodes around the same time they're on TV. It's one of those things where I can't talk about how good it is without giving away...
To quote Game of Thrones:
"Death is the enemy, the first enemy and the last."
"But we all die."
"The enemy always wins, and we still need to fight him."
I'm young, got at least another forty years left on this earth so I guess I'm not so much afraid of death but more afraid of dying before my...
Small update.
Due to an admin error I have to be re-refereed through the NHS, so that's six months of a waiting list down the toilet on a 3-4 year waiting list. All the more reason to go private for the bits I can afford.
A setback no doubt, but if anything it's reassured me I'm doing the right...
After a few months of thinking about it I decided to go private for the parts of my transition I can afford, with the NHS there as a safety net. I'm going with hormonal treatments as well as bottom surgery, for those wondering.
I could either cough up few hundred pounds for sessions at a clinic...
