Especially as we learned during 2021 #GMC evidence led: if the #NHS deliberate delay at puberty boundary was too much to bear & you went to a private consultant for #PubertyPausing A #GIDs consultant brutally spat you off clinical monitoring as you dared disobey him! #JuliaGrant in 70s was the same.

Just feels like we're back in the late 90s; earlier too if we take in #JuliaGrant late 70s, yet further back taking in #AprilAshley 60s #MarkWeston 30s & onward into a deeper past where secrecy & discretion hid a factual reality: "It takes all sorts to make a world." Dignity, tolerance & respect. ๐๐

Given history going back to utterly memorable (so horrible) interviews that #JuliaGrant endured at hands of the NHS in 1980s, I think there's been a hostile undertone to transition in the UK. Abigail Thorn said (paraphrased) "the NHS don't treat us they control trans people". NHS & GMC crucified GPs
Contempt, the polished raw "entitled" aggression that #JuliaGrant endured from John Randell in her documentary: "A Change of Sex" hasn't gone away - they got smarter hiding it. Just the same it has always been "their way or nothing" Webberley's patient (previously suicidal) got booted out of GIDS.
