Reminder [UK]: your GP is REQUIRED to refer you onto a gender identity clinic if you ask them to. They may try to refuse a referral - but it is not up to them. They do not get to decide who is ‘trans enough’ to be referred. The system is broken enough as it is - do not let your GP refuse you at the first hurdle.

If your GP refuses a referral:

1) Ask them to officially note the refusal in your file so that they cannot deny that they refused a referral later.

2) Talk to the practice manager - point out that it is a requirement that they refer you.

3) Speak to PALS.

Finally, once they do agree to refer you - chase up on it. A reluctant GP may ‘lose’ or ‘forget’ your referral. Don’t sit for 6 months thinking that a referral has gone through when your GP hasn’t ‘gotten around’ to it yet. Chase weekly.Advocate for yourself. Sometimes being a (polite, but firm) nuisance is the only way to get things done.

I’d appreciate if you could share to make sure this gets seen by people who need to see it.
