Trans people face hurdles accessing primary care

The key takeaways were:

1.    Individuals often face barriers at GP surgeries, including being misgendered, or treated disrespectfully, in addition to the everyday difficulties the general population faces, such as trying to reach a GP practice by phone.    
2.    Admin systems often fail patients, with many losing access to previous NHS records or experiencing disrupted care when they update their gender marker. 
3.    Confidence in GP services is low, with only 53% rating general care positively and just 32% satisfied with gender-affirming care. 
4.    Inconsistent access to gender-affirming care has serious consequences, including worsened health, involuntary detransitioning and financial strain.
