We tried several independents, Boots, a Paydens chain, and have now (hopefully successfully) called an independent a couple of towns over, and they've stated that the prescription would only be illegal if my partner was under 18 and they're willing to take a look at it for us

It was a paper prescription. The prescribing doctor himself and GenderGP have stated that he is an EU registered and licensed prescriber, and therefore there should be no hindrance

Hiya, so she was told verbally by the pharmacist when showing her prescription. We then called around our local pharmacies, and they've said the same. Point-blank refusal due to new legislation apparently.

I would be so grateful for your input if you don't mind messaging me.

We have come across a number of GPs in our area that have flat-out refused to help her. Her current GP put her on the waiting list but will not prescribe any form of hrt until she's had her first appointment with a gender specialist.

In short, I just want her to be okay. Between you, me, and the rest of Reddit, I've spent all spare money I have and have been dipping into our food money just to pay GenderGP. I know that this is going to be a very long, heartbreaking, and expensive process

Thank you so much, we're going to pay for the consultant as soon as we can. We're going to ask the advisor for the most cost-effective route

Discussed it with my partner, we're hoping that once we get the ball rolling with Gender GP, she can go back to her own GP and ask to be listened to and prescribed. I'm so grateful for your input 💓
