Reminder [UK]: your GP is REQUIRED to refer you onto a gender identity clinic if you ask them to. They may try to refuse a referral - but it is not up to them. They do not get to decide who is ‘trans enough’ to be referred. The system is broken enough as it is - do not let your GP refuse you at the first hurdle.
If your GP refuses a referral:
1) Ask them to officially note the refusal in your file so that they cannot deny that they refused a referral later.
2) Talk to the practice manager - point out that it is a requirement that they refer you.
3) Speak to PALS.
Finally, once they do agree to refer you - chase up on it. A reluctant GP may ‘lose’ or ‘forget’ your referral. Don’t sit for 6 months thinking that a referral has gone through when your GP hasn’t ‘gotten around’ to it yet. Chase weekly.Advocate for yourself. Sometimes being a (polite, but firm) nuisance is the only way to get things done.
I’d appreciate if you could share to make sure this gets seen by people who need to see it.
Time to end it with a big BRAWL!

I was looking through my DeviantArt Homepage and I saw that both Athena Cykes and SONIC THE HEDGHOG were doing the same pose and this was COMPLETELY UNINTENTIONAL. 🤣
Just the idea of Athena giving off Sonic the Hedgehog vibes makes me laugh.
This is some of Rare’s stupidest BULLSHIT.
This mini game is not so LIT!
We begin the SECOND investigation segment of Case 3……..(sigh)
