GP practice withdraws hormone prescriptions for trans patients
Briefly

"It doesn't matter what anyone thinks about HRT, if practices stop supplying it, the need for it doesn't magically disappear," a spokesperson for the group wrote on social media.
"People just go online and get it anyway, except they don't get dosage advice from medical professionals, they don't get proper training about how to keep a needle sterile and they don't have their bloods monitored."
"HRT uses a combination of medications to help create hormones that better fit a trans person's identity. It has been described by several major medical organisations as life-saving."
"The group held a protest on Tuesday (31 December) outside the Jubilee Park Medical Centre, in Carlton, Nottinghamshire, condemning the practice's 'failure to care for its transgender patients.'"
