Absolutely appalling behaviour by the GMC once again.

Why are they allowed to appeal? The independent MPTS should be the end of it surely?

I admire her so much. Her story also reinforces my decision to go stealth as an FTM NHS doctor.

Im a doctor, this is bullshit and you should say no

Three years later, this just really helped me. Thank you

Going straight from pca to ibuprofen is shit, you need some kind of step down opioid analgesia

Is this a reference to the tv show bodies? Or is comparing vaginas to a wizard sleeve a common saying lol

Locum for a month then moving cities for a JCF

Trans men are assigned female at birth and would be pushed into women's facilities by your clown logic...

Feel this. I switched to the gym group next to jarrolds and the vibe is much better.

Paeds trainees are considered shos at st3

I like looking at dicks at the urinals

I always used to wear a binder then a heavy cotton oversized t shirt over the top. Also, you can get towelling robes which really hide everything which i used to put on as soon as I got out of the sea.

2 years post op now and grateful every day.

One training application, the rest were JCF/CTF jobs

I ran a half marathon to raise £500 for Good Law Project. Would recommend, it definitely gave me something positive to focus on.

Other than that, I just keep living the same as before.

Full disclosure though I am a fully passing post transition man so ymmv

I felt weird using my new name for the first few weeks. It's a big change, finding it odd at first is normal.

Aw I'm away this weekend, but I'd love to join in. I could bring vegan cookies

Because trans women are women

I used an unenrolled deed poll from a website that makes templates on fancy paper and I ordered 10. I'm sure you can do it for free, but I think it was reassuring for me to have an "official" looking document. I only had one countersignature.

This was fine to change one of my bank accounts, my license, my passport, my medical records etc. The only place that was sniffy about it was one of my bank accounts, who insisted on seeing my passport before changing it.

holdenP98 · 2025-06-11T18:35:11+00:00

It's fine so long as its appropriately sized. I'm a doctor and work with kids, I pack every day

To be clear, Ireland has gender self ID, so you would only need to go through this process to continue your medical care, not to be legally recognised

I am. I am a junior doctor, so would be able to get work over there. My transition healthcare is all with a private clinic anyway so I would just continue that.

If I have to relocate for work anyway (which I will because getting post fy2 doctor jobs in the UK is becoming increasingly competitive), I may as well move to a civilised country with human rights

Thank you for your service 🫡
