CHAPTER

Navigating Healthcare Challenges for the Trans Community

The chapter delves into the struggles faced by the trans community in accessing timely and appropriate healthcare, discussing the term 'gender dysphoria' and its impact on care segregation.

It also addresses the resistance of medical institutions, like the Royal College of GPs, towards providing gender-affirming care, influenced by politics rather than medical evidence.
