Yeah, one of the positives of moving to another country is that my medical history is a blank slate here. When healthcare providers don’t know, you suddenly get treated much better … I’ve still had to advocate for myself in order to get care a couple of times, but it wasn’t malicious.
If you’re in the UK I feel for you, the NHS is, from what I hear through friends and relatives, a complete shitshow. Private was the way for me.
My heart goes out to trans people there, too, because they’re really getting shit upon in much the same way I was … and they haven’t even done anything illegal like I did!

Canada but similar situation. The public healthcare system is being systemically dismantled and blamed on the professionals themselves in some cases while private options keep popping up. I can afford it but I feel like I am part of the problem. Anyone seeking gender/reproductive care or mental health care is in the same fight I am in so I can only see them as my comrade. It’s not a zero sum game and I’m not interested in being divided and conquered.
