The CEO of Beira's Place has been going around the media, advertising it as a charity. Turns out they've been claiming this for a while. They're not registered with the Charity Commission or the OSCR so I'm wondering what the deal is? Are they just comitting straight-up fraud?

Here's one of the articles they claim to be a charity in, archived to bypass the paywall. https://archive.ph/GI3Vg

And the OSCR's charity register search. https://www.oscr.org.uk/about-charities/search-the-register/register-search/

So I've been thinking about what jobs I could do in the future where I'd get to help trans people, and I'm struggling to come up with ideas. I'm primarily interested in specific healthcare/NHS jobs as that's what sector I'm looking to work in, but I'm willing to hear suggestions for things outside healthcare settings.
Obviously trans people are everywhere so any healthcare job would involve treating trans people at some point (and frankly I think we need more trans people working in healthcare settings because cis people don't have a clue what do do with us), but I'm trying to come up with ideas for roles/organisations that are more specifically centred around working with trans people on a daily basis. Literally open to any suggestions because I'm absolutely lost right now lol

i have never had a previsional license before so this form is really confusing me lmao, do i only tick that first box and not the change name box on section 1, and on section two do i fill it out in my new name?

Planning to start T as soon as possible, I wont be going through the nhs as I don’t particularly fancy sitting on a waiting list for 5 years, so going private is my only option (also don’t want to DIY, shit seems dodgy). I’ve heard lots of horror stories about people who’ve gone through GGP but just asking for anyone who’s taken that route, is it really that horrible? My main worries are will everything work (somewhat) properly and will I end up getting on hormones in a much quicker timeframe than nhs? Hope that makes sense, thanks all 😁

Please find their current position on the matter here

And we should be aware that they are trying to influence the British Psychoanalytic Council (BPC) and the National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society (NCPS) to get them to align with their position.

Not a Tory, but great... Absolute scumbag of a human.

How f*ked are we if they win the next election? What is possible for them to force labour to do?

I already have a gender dysphoria diagnosis, since getting my diagnosis I have waited two years to be told that I still can't go on testosterone simply because there isn't enough demand for my local to order it In. That email was my final straw, does anyone have any reliable private clinics within the south of the UK? Hampshire based. Thank you all in advance and I wish everyone a smoother journey and not to be disheartened

Edit: I appreciate all the concern and questions but private is fortunately an option I can explore and just wondered about any recommendations. Thank you

should i just cross that section and put my old name and new name or is there something else i need to do for my first license?

So after my horrific time with gender gp I'm looking to jump ships. I've been recommended 2 however can't find the sight to them nor know what they offer or which ones better. It's a little stressfull but I was wondering if some people could assist me with my decision. The 2 I've been recommended and can't find is

• The Gender Clinic
• Harley Street Gender Clinic (I believe?)

The help would be much appreciated

I've seen lost of posts talking about how gendergp is a really quick route to get hrt, but can be costly in the long run compared to other gender care companies and that also that gendergp is overall a bit incompetent. However, when i've talked to my gp about gender care before and asked if they accepted shared care agreements with gendergp she said they accepted any private companies and honestly seemed a bit confused as to why i would think that they wouldnt accept gendergp. My question is how costly is gendergp under a shared care agreement? Cause from what i've heard it seems like people might think gendergp would be the best of option if you can get the shared care agreement, but that if you can't that you shouldn't stick with them for too long because of the costs. If i get the shared care agreement with them would that be the best option because of how quickly i can get hrt? Is the cost similar to other companies and would i have to still pay the £30 subscription fee to gendergp every month? If you are doing shared care with gendergp or have any answers please help me out!

Has anyone used Tina Rashid for zero depth Vulvoplasty ?

So, my wife is in a care home. I visit once a week, I came out to everyone and changed my name a month ago. My wife used my old name and I ignored it. When I was leaving she tried calling me back about something using my old name, I ignored and walked out as I hadn't heard, she then shouts it to be heard down the corridor twice, I went back and as I walk in she asks if I'm annoyed about something. I told her that I don't answer by that name anymore. She said, in a brush off type comment that it's going to take time to get used to calling me "that name". By not using my name was winding me up more at this point. Then she says that I'll always be the old name to her. She needs to realise that this isn't going to work without her support. I can understand slips of the wrong name, but denial and refusal to try are going to see us parting company.

Just needed a bit of a rant. Going for coffee with the Trans Grouo today, so I'll be much better after that.

Thanks for reading

Possible trigger for mention of abusive relationship and getting mobbed

Hi! I'm a trans masc individual that's been really struggling with their mental health - I've had to quit my job this week and I've been slowly regaining autonomy after an abusive relationship that ended over a year ago (my current partner is wonderful and the best but the damage my ex did still affects me). Ive just started learning how to skateboard the past couple months to help with confidence and gender euphoria and I honestly don't have many friends so I'm often too scared to go practise because feeling alone at a skate park full of cis people sets off a lot of my childhood shit of getting heckled and beat up by strangers. I got mobbed by a group of teens on bikes recently which also regressed my confidence.

Basically I would love if there was a group of trans skaters that wouldn't mind an extra trans-masc quietly tagging along with them while I gain my confidence and hopefully make some friends along the way

How long until Decapeptyl SR is no longer exerting any effects upon the body?

The reason I ask is because today I discovered 30 months after having quit using Decapeptyl my serum testo level was showing 0.5nmol/l, where I would have thought it would have climbed back up, in fact I was told it would do. The serum oestrogen levels described were at 319 pmol/l

i have the D1 form and deed poll printed out on nice paper… i’m guessing i’ll need to send my passport with it or can i just put in my passport number? i also do have my birth certificate and national insurance number? oh and will i need to add a picture if my passport already has one?

I'm just here , looking for some advice , to how to tell my gp , that I think I might be trans ( I have been question it for last 3 years)

Every day DIY hormones seems like a more appealing idea. All private healthcare providers are simply unaffordable for me and I'll kay em ess before the 4+ waiting list for public is over.

What should I know? Should I even consider doing it? Will I have to worry about future medical stuff? How much trouble would I get in with the law?

I know DIY can be incredibly risky but I see very little options for me.

Pretty much just what the title says..

Just got my acceptance email for an initial appointment with Dr Dundas via GenderCare - don’t really have anyone to share it with, so posting here!

Feeling a whole confusing concoction of excited, terrified, optimistic and broke lol

Very ‘baby’s first steps’ ahah

Does anyone who’s met with Dr Dundas have any advice/encouragement/words of wisdom? Irrationally anxious that he’ll tell me I’m a just a confused girl 🥴

Hi everyone. Just after general advise on where to start/ who to speak to regarding transitioning… thanks

Hello, I received this email from the Northamptonshire gic after informing them I am currently going private for t. I am on sustanon 250mg every three weeks, I've never had hrt before so this is my starting.

Will being on private t affect my GIC hormone therapy in the future.

Should I be worried about starting doses, gel really isn't an affordable option for me.

my best friend, like we are talking day since I was born best friend, has said she's transphobic and makes jokes about it. I'm ftm, I'm not out to anyone apart from online friends but I'd like to start telling some people I know irl. it makes me disgusted that she makes the type of jokes she does and says the things she says but I don't know the right way to one, keep myself safe and two, talk to her / shut her out. ik it should be easy right? But how do you go from loving someone and talking everyday since your existence to never talking and hating eachother and also risking being outed to everyone else and i can't have that. I came out as bi a few years ago and the threats and physical attacks were bad enough.

Hey all! I’m a transman, pre everything. I’m out to my girlfriend, close friends and my close friend’s family but other than that no one knows. I’m just wondering if anyone could offer me some advice on how I start the process of transitioning I.e. starting T, top surgery, name changes etc. and if anyone has advice on coming out to family/work colleagues that would also be appreciated!

I think I’m a little while off actually doing it, but I’d like to start actually thinking about it and maybe taking the steps to start my transition, I’m also 22 but do live at home.

Thanks in advance!

Hey everyone, i’m an 18 year old trans girl and i’ve been wanting to transition since about 14. Since turning 18 i’ve been looking into the best path forward for myself. I’m currently getting a referral to the London GIC but i’m aware that the waiting times are immensely long so i’m trying to go private. From what I can tell, I’d need to pay for a private assessment in order to get a gender dysphoria diagnosis, then give this to a prescription provider, pay a set up fee and then a monthly fee for the hormones themselves. Is this all correct? I’d like to be 100% of what’s going to happen and any other payments or issues before i go ahead with this. Thanks for you help :)

Just realised that my referral for the NHS gender identity clinic included my deadname and old NHS number/ID. Is it worth it to inform them that I've changed my number? I'm just curious if it'll show up on my NHS info in general if I tell them that, I explicitly told my gp that I don't want there to be mentionings of me being assigned female at birth (ftm) on my records or me being trans showing up to general appointments outside of gender clinics.

Apparently I’m within the normal testosterone range for my age but I have a “target” level, which is below 12nmol. Which is fucking bollocks. GIC isn’t even involved because I’m transferring care right now. The GIC has given me multiple target levels for testosterone. Feels like they just want to [removed] everyone into lower doses.

How do I fight this back? They want me to go to injections every 4 weeks, not 3. Target my ass.

Some dude in his 50s used the term “transvestite”, I didn’t hear the context but he was laughing about it with his female colleagues. What do I do? Do I just move on? I don’t have proof and I don’t have his name but he got off the train I just got onto

So a while ago my gp said they refered me to nottingham transgender clinic on my request but said they made it via email as "the forms was not working" and was wondering how can i contact them to ask if i am on their waiting list or not as i have not had any correspondence from them.

Thank you for reading my post!

Hi everyone

The packet says to change Evorel patches twice a week.

If I change more than this, say three times a week, does this impact the hormone dose at all?

I find that waiting two times a week everything gets a bit messy with the glue and I really have to scrub it off so am thinking of doing it three times a week.

Thanks!

I did my blood tests 2 months ago through my gp to send to my endocrinologist, Dr Millson-Brown. I only found out on my call with her that some information was missing and apparently the results of my FBC were lost along the way. I was given a prescription on the call to order T, which I have, but I’m unable to book a blood test to get my FBC for another 2 weeks. Do I have to wait to start T until I’ve done this final blood test, or can I start in the meantime.
