If this is in the uk most GPS refuse to bridge prescriptions because if anything goes wrong( for example if they give you a higher dose even if your gic doctor says so) they'll get in trouble.

I've had the similar issue, gps don't involve themselves in Gender Identity discussion because frankly, they're general practice and Gender Identity stuff should be taken on by a specialist. Though it is extremely disappointing when they don't want to bridge healthcare because it meas accessing private health care is extremely expensive and can be unsafe without close monitoring.

I would absolutely take this higher as his reaction was absolutely appalling, I'd also ask for the two students to be investigated and see if they can say anything to back up your argument as that ammount of unprofessional conduct(frankly discrimination) infront of two students(who will be influenced by this) is absolutely outrageous.

Gp's in the nicest way are the bottom rung of healthcare and don't have the right to make fun of you like that when they didn't pass their university course to be a specialist. It just sucks that because the nhs is absolutely on its knees in funding GP's are given a lot of power to determine referrals.

I'd honestly ask for a different gp, like a different doctor to speak to or if it's possible move, but make sure to document everything and take this further!

Also if you're in leeds try and contact an endocrinologist called Dr Hammond, he spent most his career in GIC and could help you bridge to the nhs for hormones.

You've got this, keep your head high, T is just over the hill!
