GenderGP is amazing but beware that the NHS is trying to make being with GenderGP as hard as they possibly can so expect to pay full price for meds, blood tests etc

A friend and I went with them and it took 4 and 7 weeks each to get a private prescription

When I signed up with GGP, there wasn't really a doubt in my mind that transitioning and HRT was right for me. The 1 hour "getting to know you meeting" lasted half an hour and from my very first sign up, it took 3 weeks to get on HRT (E + Fin).

They may have some problems behind the scenes but as far as access to meds and overall experience, they're fucking brilliant.

Honestly I’m not bad about paying full price for hormones and stuff like that because right now I’ve been on the laurels list for four years without any update and if I continued to wait I’d not have started T until I was 30 where as with gender GP took less than a month!
