Section 28 ruined my young adult life. It kept me sheltered and made me push away people who liked me and who I also liked. It made me self-hating for a while.

We've been hearing an increasing number of reports of trans people's GPs refusing to prescribe their HRT to them - even if they have a letter from an NHS gender clinic requesting that they do. That's why we're created our new My GP is Refusing to Prescribe My HRT resource: https://transactual.org.uk/medical-transition/my-gp-is-refusing-to-prescribe-my-hrt-what-can-i-do/
Has your GP recently refused to prescribe you HRT? Let us know at https://tinyurl.com/TransActualHRT

I hear any of the following noises from a Fedi friend, and I automatically dispense a headpat:

💚 (any "coming out as trans" noises)
💙 bwee!
💜 (basically you can say anything and I will pat your head, you absolute cutie)
