Not to even mention they measured me at the appointment after I chugged 2 litres of water for a bladder flow test, and while still wearing my heavy outdoors clothes because they prioritise speed over accuracy. Going to be sending in a lot of complaints come monday.

Thank you 😊 Very ready to just have this all done so that I don't have to interact with the NHS for anything transition related ever again.

Thank you! There are literally a multitude of scans and methods of analysis that give more accurate representations of a body's make-up, but they choose to stay with BMI.

It's almost like their concern isnt actually body fat percentage and a good surgicla outcome, but gatekeeping trans healthcare.

I am stronger now than I have ever been, with a lot of extremely visible muscle. But that doesn't matter to the NHS, only BMI.

It's like body composition as a concept doesn't even exist to them. Incompetent fools.

This is why trans people kill themselves. I was supposed to have this done 6 years ago, but a doctor at Chalmers lied to me about referrals and didn't tell me a year abroad would take me off the list despite knowing about it.
