We're at the 'we're very sorry we hired a trans person' stage in the UK's systematic erasure of trans people.
Horrible story. Apologising because a trans employee had the temerity to interact with a customer. What are we becoming?

Exactly this
Stop referring to people as "gender critical" or "GC", and call them what they are - "anti-trans". It's shorter, clearer, and more accurate.

Unless I'm missing a memo from laying low this week, it's important to remember that "NHS centres" have NOT closed. Only Tavistock closed. Adult GDCs are still open/seeing patients. Support is still available to GPs.
GPs are conflating adult services with youth services as an excuse to deny HRT.

Yesterday a Sheffield gp surgery notified it’s trans patients that they would no longer provide them with hrt, regardless of their transition status. I have many friends who’ve been affected by this, including several post-op, putting their physical health at serious risk.
