This is long and I hope it doesn't get lost. Gender GP have prescribed testosterone blockers to a vulnerable young man I know. His mother has a rare form of early onset dementia. He watched her slowly get worse and worse to the point she had to have round the clock care before family intervened and she now is in a nursing home. They lived with no family around just him and his mum losing all abilities, his dad having walked out on them when he was young.
Only last year, month after his mum moved to nursing care he came out as "trans" and was referred himself to Gender GP privately. He has been prescribed hrt with no mental health checks (it's clearly a trauma response) and no family medical background check. Surly extra hormones are not a good idea with a strong family history of early onset dementia on the female side.
He is unemployed and pays £30 a month for his prescription which he pays from his job seekers allowance.
Although Webberly has been struck off they are still a very shady operations
He was getting support. His actual Dr got him counciling sessions funded through a carer's resource and he had joined a course aimed at getting him into higher education. He's stopped both of these and firmly believes that his unhappiness was because he was living in the wrong body not because the last few years for him have been tragic.
Gender GP have affirmed he is actually a woman (through zoom chats) and robbed him of the support he actually needs.

Oh that's so sad, the poor thing. With his mum slipping away from him, no wonder he's in emotional turmoil and desperately in search of a 'community'.
hasn't got lost. Thanks, Jemima x
What a terribly sad story. I hope he will get the proper support he needs. Where is Social Care?
