"More training is needed for frontline NHS staff, I feel like the trans community is often required to educate the people who are gatekeeping their access to the services they need. The waiting times are maddening! Three years or more of waiting is is not acceptable, especially when gender dysphoria is your daily companion." Liv

"I spend more time with my dogs if my dysphoria is worse than usual, because they don't see gender, they just see a human to love and play with."

"Trans people come in all shapes and sizes. The ones I have met are nice and just want to get on with their lives. It is wearing to have to justify your existence every time someone wants to call you out on something someone has read or heard." Louise

“We have a history, transgender people, we have a culture and that we have older people who have made it through all kinds of abuses and negotiated their way to get here. Not a lot of us ― but there are some and to help them realize that things they expect and think are normal ― you are standing on someone’s shoulders who couldn’t do that in their youth.”

Miss Major Griffin-Gracy, Huffington Post 2016

There's a lot going on at the moment for trans people, a lot of it's not pleasant. It can be really easy to fall into a habit of doomscrolling.

We've been hearing an increasing number of reports of trans people's GPs refusing to prescribe their HRT to them - even if they have a letter from an NHS gender clinic requesting that they do.

That's why we're created our new My GP is Refusing to Prescribe My HRT resource:

Has your GP recently refused to prescribe you HRT? Let us know at https://tinyurl.com/TransActualHRT

ILGA Europe’s Rainbow map is out today - note the steady downward trend in scores for the UK.

On a day that the press is reporting that schools will have to teach that the belief that trans people are who they say they are is a “contested belief” it of course is of no surprise.

Things are tough for trans folk who n the UK at the moment - be there for each other and remember that we will get through this and things can and will get better.

This we're focussing specifically on what trans people can do to look after our mental health. It's especially important at the moment because there's seems to be a new thing to contend with in the news every week.
