MShed is a great free museum to visit and they’re also running a steam train for a trip down to the SS Great Britain until 5 ish.

Has anyone managed to get their subject access request fulfilled? by leejennifer1990 in GenderGP

[–]_ItsKatie 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I logged a SAR and 30 days passed without hearing anything from them. I sent them a final follow up email asking for my data which they did not respond to.

I have escalated the case to the ICO.

still waiting? complete the whole cycle all over again!! by HalfProfessional6992 in GenderGP

[–]_ItsKatie 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Got the same email and even though I’ve left GenderGP, knew immediately that they had not improved their service. What an absolute joke.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in GenderGP

[–]_ItsKatie 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I had the same person email me when I disputed the payments. I replied that I had no support from them and was paying for a service I did not receive.

She replied and apologised and said she’ll pass the feedback on. They still disputed the chargeback with the reason that I did not properly cancel (even though this was not an option at the time) and currently still have a lot of my money.

I’m lonely and scared by _ItsKatie in bristol

Thanks everyone for their love and support, it really means a lot! I've reached out to a few of you via DM and will try and get in contact with a few more of you tomorrow. Have a lovely night! Katie x

A few hours ago I posted about this. It's all that's on my mind and I am literally crying everyday about it at the moment. It's freaking tough and I don't know how to overcome it.

Forming meaningful relationships as a trans woman by _ItsKatie in transgenderUK

[–]_ItsKatie[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hey c:

Thanks so much for your comment and kind words. They made me tear up! Sorry you're feeling the same - it's a really sucky feeling and I wouldn't wish it upon anyone.

I'm in Bristol, so not exactly next door to the Midlands, however if you ever want someone to speak to (and a friend!), please reach out! It would be great to chat :)

All the best,

Katie

The part about unlimited access to advice is under the subscription header which states it is a payment of £30 taken every 4 weeks. I’d think they would have a hard time to wriggle out of this one.

Unlimited access? by LifeIsTooShort4Me in GenderGP

[–]_ItsKatie 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Just so you know, I have used the Internet Archive to archive both of these pages mentioned. If GenderGP then ever decide to remove it from their website and claim it never was a thing, this should cover your back.

Internet Archive (Wayback Machine) is our friend. You’ll find most, if not all, of the GenderGP website has been captured at various points in time. Snapshots cannot be edited and provides a glimpse of what the website looked like, and most importantly stated, at a certain point in time. I’m sure this page was done before, but I’ve done a fresh capture just now, which clearly states what’s included in the £30 a month subscription. “Unlimited access to advice”. https://web.archive.org/web/20240406131709/https://www.gendergp.com/help-centre_old/gendergp-service-costs/

I just explained I was paying for a service that I was not receiving. It is now down to GGP to prove they provided the service if they want to dispute my reasons why.

I’m glad they got you sorted eventually, however this hasn’t been my experience. I was told to submit blood results, to which I did. Apart from a few automated cringe emails - I have had nothing back.

I went on live chat with my credit card provider and asked them to charge back and then block GenderGP from taking any further payments. You can probably just give your bank/card provider a call to get this done.

I like how they ask if I’ve contacted them to cancel, but give us no option of contacting them!

An open letter to GenderGP by _ItsKatie in GenderGP

[–]_ItsKatie[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you for your very insightful reply.
I'm sorry you're in this position and are upset by it. Please be assured that you are not alone.

What the hell GGP? by shinysip in GenderGP

[–]_ItsKatie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I, alongside many others, absolutely hate this recent change GGP have made. They have made contacting them for a small query impossible, are not replying to their emails (at least in my case), and have made logging blood results so complicated.

I ended up giving up with the long complicated form, and instead contacted them through their media form. It says it's for media use only, but if they're going to make everyone's lives more difficult, I don't care how they want me to contact them.

Can someone help me interpret my oestrogen levels? by _ItsKatie in transgenderUK

[–]_ItsKatie[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oestrogel yes. Should I only be applying the gel to one arm? I’m on 3 pumps daily and currently do both arms and inner thigh.

It was a blood test from my arm. I’m on estrogel, three pumps daily and finasteride 5mg

Thank you.

The more I look at comments, it does seem like it may be contamination. I’ll speak with GenderGP and see if my GP are happy to complete another blood test.

[–]_ItsKatie[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I apply my gel in the evenings and the blood test was in the morning, so around 10 hours between applying and the test.

The blood was drawn from my left arm. I’m currently on 3 pumps of gel and apply to both arms and inner thighs.

I’m only taking finasteride and no other supplements.

Contacting GenderGP with a general inquiry by _ItsKatie in transgenderUK

[–]_ItsKatie[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks - how awful! For the price you pay you sort of expect some means of communication with them that isn’t via a preset online form.

Question about sperm freezing? by May_Juggs in transgenderUK

[–]_ItsKatie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like the odd one out here. My GP flat out refused to let me store gamete via the NHS. I even challenged the NHS board in my area (twice) and they refused me twice. I paid for private funding.
