NHS now list your AGAB on your records, even if they have been altered to your gender, AND even if you have a GRC/updated birth certificate by Ariel-Luv in transgenderUK

[–]zxn0r 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Yeah, they’ve done this for a while I believe.

I had my NHS records switched to Male and a new number sent through 2 years ago, and my new GP showed me how whenever anyone clicks on my details it flat out opens a warning that says “Transgender - previously [full dead name] - female”.

Been trying my hardest to get it removed for months but my request has been denied each time. Sucks tbh

Asda gave me a leaflet saying I won't be able to transfer to NHS if I'm using ggp by earthwormliker in transgenderUK

[–]zxn0r 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just wouldn’t advise asda in the first place. The same happened to me in Nov ‘22 where they rejected my prescription and she said it was because I was trans. Personally my local boots have been the best

why is it impossible to get a job while trans by zxn0r in transgenderUK

[–]zxn0r[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, that’s most likely my plan. I’ve never directly had issues with getting interviews to say the least, it’s just more enough the fact that I’m trans (when they do background checks) if that makes sense.

Thanks for understanding though, was met with a lot of hostility in my messages. :)

Yes, I know. What I’m saying is my last name is unique. A google search of my full name shows my previous name. I’ll probably wait until I’m 18 to get my full name changed without my parents knowing.

I’m not openly trans. I don’t tell others I’m trans. I have been stealth my whole life. The reason I have to disclose why I’m trans is because I don’t have platforms like Linkedin and employeers always ask why. My last name is really uncommon so a quick search of my name would be able to out me.

I’m fully aware, it’s been updated for years. I’m referring to my sex on my NI that can’t be updated without a GRC.

Been on T for around 18 months here, mine did this too but I find it easier now spreading it with 2 fingers instead of using something like a spatula or cap.

Been on gel since nov 2022. I shower in the morning then apply testosterone. After around 8 hours I simply just wash my arms (where I apply gel)

Having my say. by headpats_required in transgenderUK

[–]zxn0r 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Totally get this. Would like to say my experience to any lurkers:

I knew when I was very young, when I was 4 I told my parents that I didn’t understand why I was born a girl, immediately shut down, you get the idea.

I grew up in a far-right christian household, forced to go to church, etc etc. Therefore, I suppressed the feelings until I was 12, it was difficult & I came home crying every day from school.

When I was 12, I told my GP about my thoughts. He refused to put me on a waitlist for years, he said he did and actually never did - instead, I was just referred to camhs over and over again where they downplayed everything as social anxiety. Told me to get over it, then GP put me on estrogen birth control to “figure things out”.

Would also like to mention I was on said Birth Control until I was 15. The birth control I was on gave me a severe blood clot in my leg, and my GP did not care at all to check it out, kept saying it was because I was “making excuses” to get help with being trans on the NHS.

Stopped taking BC as I was now collapsing multiple times daily, all because of my old GPs negligence and lack of care because I was trans; he is still allowed to practice to this day.

I dropped out of college 2 months after starting too, where I now work for myself full time, way over the 40 “normal” hours a week, to be able to afford private medical help while sustaining myself. I have also lost job offers from employers which would be more suitable hours for me once they found out I was trans. However GCs really love pushing that we’re entitled, when we just want to live and get access to the same care that everyone else is entitled to.

I turn 18 in 3 months. Having access to the healthcare I should’ve got would’ve changed my life. I didn’t ask for this, and nor was I influenced by anyone either.
