How many like me are there in Scotland? In the UK? In the world? They don't care.

I wonder why my gender clinic hasn't reached out to me. For all they know I'm still injecting T, but they haven't checked my levels since 2017. Aren't they curious about my wellbeing? Don't they do follow ups? The answer is no, they don't. The question is, why not?

‘Cause they don’t do medicine, they do advocacy. So sad.

Surely indeed. The truth is, young trans folk attend their appointments thay they have to - to get HRT - then their interest in communication stops. The clinic should be making sure they still come in for level checks - for their patients healthy - but they don't.

If I don’t check in annually my doctor won’t renew my HRT patch. She’s particularly concerned about my blood pressure and blood sugar levels. Of course I’m a menopausal woman. Do you still have your prescription for testosterone?

My GP knows I'm detransitioning, but if I asked for my prescription of T tomorrow, I'd get it. No questions asked. I know this because it happened in 2018 when I came off T for a while. They don't ask questions.

Because it's easier to say they've "lost touch" with you than face the reality of the numbers of Detransitioners.

In case your feedback skews the data in a direction they don't like?

Same. I'm supposed to have yearly checks. I have to make them myself, they will just let patients fall through the cracks. However this isn't a thing with just the gender clinic, it's every one of my medical services. It's just how things work now; everyone must "self-advocate"

In Ireland (dont know about UK but thought it was the same) cervical smears and breast checks are carried out to a schedule by sending reminder invitations to participate. Does this not happen in UK?
